Sometimes you just luck in to a day like this, but I’d like to think it wasn’t luck that Catherine and Steven found us and asked us to be their photographers. \u00a0Lindsay and I have been at this photography thing for a while now and we are constantly asked about “bridezillas” and crazy wedding day stories. \u00a0The truth is, we really don’t have any of those stories. \u00a0That kind of friction happens when you end up with couples that don’t match their photographer.<\/p>\n

When you put your real work out there, you’re putting your personality on display. \u00a0So, when you come to this blog our to our website<\/a>, you see who we are as photographers and as people. \u00a0Because Lindsay and I are such sticklers for authentic moments and allowing every couple to just be themselves, I think we attract folks that “get it”. \u00a0We work with people who enjoy us and vice versa. \u00a0That way, the images are just an extension of the relationship.<\/p>\n

Great relationship = great images. \u00a0Easy math \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
