I can barely STAND it!!!!!! This has been a goal of mine for two years….yes, TWO YEARS. I remember talking to Jasmine and JD during our engagement session and the topic came up about having a promotional video. I knew I needed one…. but when Jasmine Star told me I needed one I was like “Ok….note to self…this is IMPORTANT! GET PROMO VIDEO ASAP”. However, it wasn’t as simple as writing it on my to-do list. It took planning and I was still waiting to find the perfect person to help me with this huge project…… and I’m happy to say that I found him! Ladies and gentleman, let me introduce you to my extremely
talented friend and cinematographer, Josh Gooden!!! Jodi & Kurt shared his work with me and I was hooked. His work is amazing and his style is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! My only regret is that I didn’t have him at 10.10.10!!!!! ugh. Where was my head?! To all of my brides out there… I will PAY you to hire him for your wedding…. that’s how awesome he is!!! ps. That was an exaggeration, I can’t really pay for all of my clients to have Josh Gooden capture their wedding day. However, I want all of my brides to know that I HIGHLY recommend him…. he will turn your wedding day into a movie and lets be real, what bride doesn’t want her love story made into a movie?!

Josh agreed to help me with this project a few months ago and I was so excited!!! But after several rainy days, the shoots had to be rescheduled and I was losing hope that this was supposed to happen. It’s a lot to organize but luckily I have the most incredible friends/clients that literally dropped everything and made this dream come to life. Buddy, Jill, Ali, Manny and Michael, I can’t thank you enough!! Josh, you’re the bomb.com and I’m so thrilled to share your awesome work!!!!!!
.
So without further ado ….. I present the first EVER Katelyn James Photography Promo Film!

Thanks for reading!
