hey friends, i'm katelyn

Saturday morning I packed my car with my batteries, my shootsac, my lenses, my camera, etc. and hit the road.  I was leaving camp which was located in Emporia, VA and making the drive to the Historic Kinloch where Emily and Tim would be married.  I’m not going to lie, I was tired.  Retreats and camp just do that to you and so it was refreshing to have Em greet me with a big hug and “Yay! Katelyn you’re here! I feel like you’re this old friend who I haven’t seen in forever!”.  I mean, how could I not absolutely LOVE spending the day with this girl?!!

.

Emily was stunning and I can’t explain how excited I was when I took my first look at her dress! BEAU-TI-FUL! It was definitely a favorite of the summer! I see a lot of wedding dresses and let me tell you..this one was gorgeous! … and so Emily!  Of course Tim was handsome in uniform and so excited to marry his best friend! Wait until you see his face as Em was walking down the aisle! Priceless.

.

Some may not understand this but in the midst of running around the whole state of VA and finishing my first week of classes, shooting a wedding was a nice break. ha! Yes, I know that sounds ridiculous but when your clients seem like friends, it really makes you feel as if you are just a guest capturing their day and loving every minute of it! What can I say, I have an awesome job!

.

Emily and Tim, you two are incredible and your love for each other makes me smile.  I loved sorting through your images and being able to really SEE the love you two share.  Thank you for allowing me to capture it! Best wishes!

Let me explain this next image.  We did the boys pictures before the ceremony while the girls were still getting ready.  Well we had to walk right beside a window to the bridal suite.  I warned the guys that they better not look in there and this is what I got! It made for a cute pic!blog9

I love Tim’s reaction while Em was walking towards him!
