Well if those faces don’t make your day, I don’t know what will! Look at those puppers and paw-rents. I seriously love any photo session with dogs included and had so much fun photographing Kim and Victor with their dogs. We met up in San Juan at Los Rios St for some fun photos including wine, whiskey, and later on tequila shots! Talk about a fun crew & day!!
A cute couple + a cute dog PLUS a cute love story = killer photos!I tell every couple to choose locations that are meaningful to them or activities they do together often. Matthew and Nichole picked a great spot because they had their first kiss on this bench. Of course they had to bring their pup, Kuna who was SO FUN! If you know me at all, you know I LOVE dogs, so having a dog on a shoot is the greatest thing in the world to me.
Erin really wanted a desert feel for her photos & I’m all about a desert getaway! I was already going to be in Palm Springs for a wedding the day before, so I decided to stay the night. They met me there the following day and we ventured around Palm Springs! They really wanted some adobe and open desert areas & you better believe we found both.
2019 was a solid year and such a great way to end the decade!! It was my third year shooting weddings & I also I lead shot the most weddings thus far. So wild! I went into 2019 with only a couple of weddings booked, but wound up at 18. My goal is usually 10-12 so I can handle also shooting commercial and portrait work, but it is safe to say I can definitely shoot 20-22 and still handle the other work. I still second shot this year, too and even got to travel a bit for weddings. I made it to Wisconsin for a wedding at the Green Bay Botanical Gardens, was able to second shoot a few weddings on Long Island and shot another proposal in Central Park. I met Troy Williams at the beginning of this year and had the pleasure of working 3 events with him!! Thank you, Troy!
I’m heading into 2020 with 13 weddings booked - FREAKING WILD!!! I have two booked in NY and my goal is 3 in NY. I still have the whole year ahead, so I think I may need to increase that goal. I’ll also be spending more time in New York - as in longer periods of time rather than going so frequently for short periods. I haven’t thought too too much about my goals for 2020, but I do want to start shooting more film during weddings - maybe a roll at each wedding. What are your goals for 2020?
Kaitlin was just waiting to book a venue and date to actually book me as her photographer - I mean talk about a compliment!!! We went to middle school together along with her best friend Kaelie, whose wedding I shot a year and a half ago. I was so honored when Kaelie asked me to photograph her wedding and of course Kaitlin was there and could see how I worked firsthand. I had hoped when Kaitlin got engaged she would think of me, too!
This engagement shoot was SO FUN! They wanted something local - a spot Kaitlin grew up going to, so Shaw’s Cove only made sense. They brought beers - hazy IPAs and I wasn’t a huge IPA fan until I drank a hazy IPA. SO GOOD! Also… these two claim to be awkward… WHAT?! Not awkward at all! Enjoy the non-awkward photos!!
Capture real, raw moments.
