Have you ever anticipated something but had no idea when it was happening?! I experienced this on Saturday. I knew that Saturday was going to be a HUGE day for our family… more specifically, my baby sister. Emily’s boyfriend, Joe had shared that Saturday was the big day…. he was PROPOSING! He met with my dad last weekend and so the excitement has been building within the James family!! Michael was a groomsmen on Saturday at JR and Sarah’s wedding and I shot it. The whole day I did a great job of focusing on their wedding day… but I would have random
moments when I would remember “AH! It’s happening today!!!!”. I would check my phone and then pray that it was going well!! My phone died like three times during the reception because I kept checking it every 5 minutes! Finally, it began to buzz and I ran outside to hear the news. I may have already been in tears before Emy had time to tell me that she was getting married. :) Michael followed me and tried to take pictures of me hearing the news and even though they aren’t flattering pictures, they show just how excited I am for Emy and Joe!!
We had two weddings this weekend and we actually left wedding #2 and hit the road to PA to surprise Emy with a quick visit!! She had no idea we were coming and I just loved getting to hug her and share our excitement in person!! … And of course I wanted to see the ring!! :)
So today…. and most of tomorrow… and a few more days this week… we’ll be resting. After 2 two-day workshops, 19 weddings in a row, 40 weddings total and a crazy amount of engagement sessions…. oh and coaching every month and a conference…. this fall has been a crazy one! We’re so thankful that we can decide to randomly drive to PA and take a day to celebrate with Em and joe and we’re going to enjoy it!!! So happy happy Monday everyone!! Get excited… there are two BEAUTIFUL fall weddings coming to the blog this week!!
Oh where do I begin? This wasn’t just another wedding for me. This was a legacy KJ Wedding and I have been looking forward to it ever since my first email from Danny and Megan!
I’m really excited about this YouTube video because I know that it resonates with ALL photographers who photograph PEOPLE!!
Have you ever walked into a client experience and realized “oh wow, this is not what I was expecting?” ….
