Hello from Minneapolis! I've been feeling pretty under the weather this weekend and it's expected to reach −15 tonight so the weather is already quite "under" to begin with. While I do genuinely like winter, the wedding I'm blogging today is intentionally warm and beachy. You're welcome. ;) Back in July, Jami and Greg flew me down to Marco Island, Florida to photograph their beautiful destination wedding. Jami (a native of Nebraska) and I had been email buddies for years before their wedding. She was (and still is!) a sweet encourager or my work and was always trying to find an excuse to hire me to photograph her family. Well, last summer proved to be the perfect opportunity when Greg asked her to be his wife. Their ceremony was all of 5 minutes on the beach opposite the Hilton where we stayed. On top of that, I was one of only seven people in attendance, including the officiant! It was a wonderfully beautiful, intimate, and low-key experience. I'm used to functioning as a fly on the wall during weddings, so this was not only a growing experience for me professionally, but a relaxing, rejuvenating experience for me personally. Jami + Greg, thank you for everything! Your wedding was definitely one of the highlights of my 2013 wedding season.
Happy Hump Day, everybody! Today's wedding took place in September at the breathtaking Omni Bedford Springs Resort in Bedford, Pennsylvania. Eric and Lindsay found out about me via mutual friends and past clients, Nate & Sara Sylvester. One of my favorite things about world of mouth referrals is the immediate connection I can have with complete strangers. From the very first email, I felt like I'd known Lindsay forever. Their wedding was such a refreshing, enjoyable wedding for me to shoot. And with as many weddings as I shoot in Western PA, it's beginning to feel like a second home.
So, enjoy this post and please leave a comment to say hi! I'm feeling a bit under the weather today and could use a happy hello. :)
