Happy Thanksgiving! This is my final blog until we start our winter weddings. It's been a crazy amount of work, but I'm so happy to have gotten blogs out to everyone in time for visiting with family on Thanksgiving! This is a perfect end to the fall season as Jayde and Andy are wonderful human beings. Since it's Thanksgiving, here are some things about them and their wedding I'm thankful for!
Here are 3 things I loved about this wedding:
1. Brittney exudes joy. Seriously, there is no other way to describe this girls smile other than the word JOY. She is down to earth, so kind and happy. Those are all the things I love most about brides and humans in general. Nick is this strong, sort of silent type that I think speaks with his eyes and his eyes were on her most of the time which as we all know, its my favorite thing about grooms.
It's been a big year for Kristen and Brandon! We shot their wedding, maternity and now newborn of little Brynnley! I love seeing things come full circle as families grow.
We start off with the previous only children, the puppies who just like to crawl all over them. Then we have to take a tour of the incredible Lego Christmas village they have (seriously, I WANT THIS SO BAD) and some nice just at home moments. I personally love the through the window shot since it sorta feels like I may have just been walking by and witnessed parents giving their new little baby a tour of their incredible Christmas village :)
This is a story about making it work, rain or shine! (literally and figuratively)
We've had plenty of rainy weddings, but this was the first where it did not stop for even 15 minutes all day long. We also had all our flights delayed and canceled while trying to make it to New York during a hurricane. But Rob and Bri are amazing human beings and we were bound and determined to do great work no matter how much weird juju was being thrown our way.
That is the thing about wedding photography...and marriage too actually! You walk into different situations with every event and have to make it work no matter what. Everyone had a good attitude towards the rain, we all had a lot of fun and I think the photos are so beautiful! Happy people trump bad weather every time!
We are going to do this blog backwards since time travel is fun. If you haven't guessed it yet, Rachel and Phil love space and the sky. Their wedding is space themed and I'm pretty excited about that!
This session ended up having an interesting amount of variety. We've got galaxy double exposures, night time light painting, shadow prison in our basement with Duma, what seems like it could be the cover of a romance novel titled "waves of sunsets", running and spinning and then we end on classic, happy fall photos. It's a buffet of photography today!
We have been shooting mostly weddings and families but Kara emailed us asking if we would do her senior photos. She was actually at one of our weddings when she was little (which makes me feel VERY old, thanks a lot haha). I am so glad she knew of our work because she is simply a delight. I guess I'm out of touch with what teenagers are really like since I typically only see all the crazy stuff on the internet but thank goodness there are sweet girls like this out in the real world.
Remember fall? Yeah, it's over now but a few weeks ago when we did this session it was amazing! You may remember the Tishhouse family from their wedding many years ago or their family session last year. We were in Ann Arbor for an awesome wedding you'll see soon so it was the perfect time to get together again! They have a whole new human this year too!
