I don’t think these two are cool because he pretty much has the same name as me or that his mom’s birthday is the same as my mom’s or that even though we were teaching in Korea at different times, any one of us can bring up a random memory about Korea and we’ll know exactly what the person is talking about. No, these two are cool just because they were so much fun. Even though we only met last year to start planning their wedding, I feel like my conversations with Nav and Amarta resemble how I would converse with friends I’ve known for years. These guys are hilarious! I had such a fun time that afternoon. Something about chasing birds and ducks always makes me laugh. I know, I’m 5 years old. Whatever, it’s fun to run around with your arms flailing in the air and watch people do the same.

I cannot wait to see these two this weekend and celebrate their wedding! Happy wedding week Amarta & Nav!

I’m not going to lie, I like shooting a lot more than sitting at my computer.  It seems like I’m starting all my recent posts with something about not posting for awhile so obviously I need to work on this but man, this summer was insane. I moved, I went to Costa Rica, I shot tons of weddings, I went to weddings as a guest (yay finally!) and yes, I switched from Nikon to Canon haha. Now it’s September and I’m desperately trying to hang on to any ounce of summer left…which isn’t much considering it’s only 5°C right now. But it’s going to warm back up this week and I’m going to have my one Corona on a patio! Hurray!

Anyway, on to more important things like this super hot couple and their awesome engagement session! Julie and Keith are the type of couple that I can photograph all day. They’re fun and easy going and clearly the camera loves them. Normally sessions go for about 2 hours but we definitely went into 3 hours and if it had stayed warm out, we probably would’ve been out there for at least another hour.  I don’t think I’ve ever shot through so much film for an engagement session! Julie and I go way back to high school days and after all these years not much has changed. She’s still one of the nicest  people I know and her laugh is contagious. You can’t help but be in a good mood around her. And although I just met Keith, I can tell he’s a great guy and is a perfect match for Julie. Not to mention he has a great head of hair! I even told him that haha. I had so much fun hanging out with these guys and really can’t wait for their wedding!

A few shots from my trip to New Orleans last May. I was there to photograph a wedding and was lucky enough to have some down time to check out the city. A really interesting place that I hope to visit again sometime soon. Lots of history, great food and hot sauces! Hopefully next time I’ll make it out to Avery Island (home of Tabasco sauce) and the swamps!

There were many reason to love this wedding but the three that stand out are:

1) Two words – Rick Roll

2) I’ve never met a bride more excited about her photos

3) I could have watched Elton’s parents tear up that dance floor with their swing dancing all night

Seriously loved it all though. What can I say, when Michelle and I first met, I thought her enthusiasm for photography was just pre-wedding excitement as any bride would have. However, as we continued to correspond and speak, I quickly realized that she really did appreciate the art. That was refreshing. It’s always nice to meet someone who truly appreciates what you do and understands your ideas and visions. Thank you Michelle :)

Elton and Michelle were super easy going and fun to be around. The whole wedding crew was fun so it made my job a breeze. Gotta love weddings like that where it feels like you’re just hanging out. Although a storm threatened the middle part of the day, the rain quickly passed through at convenient times and the entire day went on without a hitch. Michelle and Elton also made my night when they told me they were going to Rick Roll everyone after their first dance. Amazing. I actually really love Rick Astley and that song. After that, it was a pretty jumpin’ dance floor and Elton’s parents were no slackers. I literally stood there watching them dance to  “She Drives Me Crazy” by Fine Young Cannibals in awe. They were so good I couldn’t stop photographing them. Something about them reminded me of the young couple I recently saw swing dancing and tearing up the dance floor in a crowded New Orleans jazz club.  I love how dance transcends any era. As some of you may know, I’ve always had a little dance in me so this was my kind of wedding!

Michelle & Elton, I wish you and your families all the best!
