I met Brittney a few months back at a previous shoot here in Winston Salem. She drove from Raleigh for the day and we had SO much fun on our shoot. She hadn’t yet gotten married (it was only a few weeks away) but after our shoot decided she wanted to do some funky bride and groom photos after her wedding. We actually “happened upon” our location for the shoot because (long story short) we got locked out of the lofts at our previous shoot and 2 nice men let us back in. One of those men found me on facebook via a mutual friend and I soon-after contacted him for location scouting purposes. He graciously offered up he and his husband’s loft and Brittney jumped at the chance. I think it was the perfect backdrop for their eclectic shoot! Jade showed up and did her hair and makeup and her dress? I DIE! She looked beyond stunning and it was so nice to finally get to meet Paul, her now husband! They rocked out this shoot and had a lot of fun with it, which is just what she wanted!
Brittney and Paul, thank you so much for coming back to me once more to bring your visions to life. You two should seriously be featured in Vogue or some high fashion magazine. You are such a beautiful couple and beautiful both inside and out on your own. Being around you and talking with you is so easy and fun and I could just feel the love surrounding you as I spent the day with you. I thank you again for giving me artistic freedom and trusting that you would rock it out and have a great experience. Brittney, thank you for coming to me and wanting to do something different and Paul for going along with the whole shebang! I wish you two nothing but the best of luck, love and unworldly fortunes in the future and I know we’ll be seeing each other again soon!
Alex and Matt, thank you so much for allowing us to use your beautiful home as the backdrop for the day. It was beyond perfect and your hospitality couldn’t have been warmer. You guys are the best (and I can’t wait to feature YOUR shoot)!
I can not stress enough how amazing it is to have local photographers as friends and to learn and teach each other instead as competition. I mean, the whole reason Ashley and I even met is because she hired to shoot her family portraits next month. Yeah, the stress of shooting another photographer’s photos? We’ll cover that in another blog post! I am so excited, though – because Ashley is genuine and funny and believes in me and my work. I cannot thank her enough for allowing me to come along and share in her fun and beautiful shoot!
