She emailed me last fall with exclamation marks and ALL CAPS, asking if there was ANY way that we could meet up and do a “Just Married” shoot! I’ve done this several times for different couples and I love to make them happen whenever I can! Corey and Shelby were married last summer at the Williamsburg Lodge and their wedding was gorgeous…I mean just look at them… of course it would be gorgeous! Shelby told me all about her details and things that she had handmade… planning a wedding when you’re a detail oriented bride is a lot of WORK. (I would know:) And so I think it’s perfectly reasonable to want to have a second wedding shoot to capture some more
portraits that you didn’t have time for on your wedding day! We even made time to capture a few more detail shots as well… and OH do I love them! Teal mason jars make me HAPPY! So we shot some details before we started and we talked about their big day and how wonderful it was. My good friend Josh Gooden filmed their wedding day and did a phenomenal job! And because I follow Josh and watched their video like 10 times…. I already felt like I knew them! They’re such a sweet, fun-loving couple and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon! The weather cooperated with us and we were able to walk around Williamsburg and shoot in every cute nook and cranny we could find! When I was pulling in to meet them I noticed some Wisteria on the side of the road and in my mind I thought “Oh please Lord let them be ok with STANDING in there!!”. And luckily…. they were 100% on board with climbing into the Wisteria vines and posing while cars were passing and honking. The two are awesome! …. And their pictures show it! Enjoy this super fun and springy “Just Married” shoot!! And happy Thursday!!!
These were some of the first shots I took… and I KNEW it was going to be a good day!! woohoo! Shelby you’re gorgeous! And so is that bouquet!! A few shots with their venue…. And then we found the purple goodness!! Love AHHHHH!!!! LOVE THESE!!!! So beautiful!!I’m breaking down the MUST-HAVE ITEMS that every photographer needs to be successful at the start of their career!
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?” ….
The business world (and just the world in general) looks A LOT different today than it did 15 years ago when I started my business.
We’ve talked a lot lately about how great AI editing is and how it can be revolutionary for so many wedding and portrait photographers.
