i’m breaking my keep-professional-on-other-blog rule, but yesterday was a big personal jump for me.
my first wedding, other than family.
and there is so much i can say about how big of a deal this was for me and how honored i am that they trusted me to do their wedding day. which is huge.
and there’s so much else going on that i haven’t had time to post because i’ve been preparing for this and we are so busy right now…
but with all that said, yesterday was such an experience for me…personally, professionally, creatively…
to the scott family…thank you for making me feel like family the entire day. there is so much i could write about…what a beautiful experience. i laughed. i cried. i didn’t want it to end. i felt so a part of things which only inspired me more to capture the essence of what existed yesterday.
whether or not i’ll do weddings again…you never forget your first one, and this one was certainly unforgettable.
erin… you. are. a. rockstar.
a few of my favorites after quickly perusing through the most gigantic stash of photos in the history of mankind…
congratulations, mr. & mrs. o’guinn.
…and a little present from a bride who knows what it’s like to wake up the day after and dream of reliving it again…
a little snippet slideshow…right here.
Oh my Gosh Kelle, I met Erin and her mom last weekend @ Tie the Knot when she came in for her final fitting. I was helping my girlfriend out @ her store last weekend while they were at market in NYC. How was her mom’s foot? She had slipped at Costco and hurt it right before they came in. What a lovely family they seemed to be. Great photos!

Proud father of the photographer here. I loved that I received phonecalls through the day to chronicle your experience. I had no doubts…and it sure helped to have such beautiful people as your subjects! Thank you for sharing them…I just couldn’t wait to see the wedding through your loving lens. See ya’ next weekend!
Dear Kelle,
I just can’t thank you enough for your enthusiasm, professionalism, talent and most of all, your passion which shines through every photograph that you take! It was so much fun to have you aboard the “fun train!” You are amazing!! The day was magical and I am so happy that you were there to capture the moments! Love, The MOB!
OK Kelle- You don’t know me, but I just wanted to let you know I like to follow your blog and catch up on all the advetures you blog about. May I just say that for a first time wedding not only did you pull it off- you excelled!!! A wonderful and most excellent Job!
– Enjoying the smiles!
Some words that come to my mind after looking at your wedding shoot;
SUCCESS, amazing, gifted, talent,
EXCEPTIONAL.
It certainly didn’t hurt to have such an exceptionally photogenic and fun couple, but you made them shine on one of the most important days of their lives.
Recommendation: Bottle what ever you did and use it whenever you do photo shoots.
From one photographer to another; welldone!
Mike M.
