Wise Wedding: Vender Shout Outs!

So many people contribute to the production of a Brides' beautiful wedding day. I am so very excited to be able to feature the venders who made Daniel and Dana's wedding day so gorgeous! I think you will agree with me that these artists have incredible value!

Daniel and Dana held their ceremony at the Colonial Baptist Church in Colonial Beach, VA. 

Rose Jones, in Colonial Beach gave her contribution with a phenomenal and designer wedding cake!

The Ingelside Winery in Colonial Beach was a lavish and beautiful place to have a reception.

Amy Otis of Colonial Beach created fantastic floral arrangements.

Have a blessed day!

Friday Productions

August and September are always incredibly busy months for the Wedding Photography industry, and this year was no different! August 23rd, September 5th, and September 8th I had the privilege of photographing the weddings of Thao and Phong in Portland, Oregon; Benjamin and Jennifer in Toledo, Ohio; and Sebastian and Amy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. 

Each wedding, I spend around 60 hours in post processing between editing in my Lightroom, creating a Wedding Day Film, and a Wedding Day Proof book. Larger packages render more time investment. I love that this investment assists me in becoming more familiar with my brides and their love stories. 

It truly is an inspiring experience. 

Benjamin & Jennifer: Happily Ever After

One of the most classy weddings I've photographed to date, this Toledo event was completely fantastic. Benjamin and Jennifer have a style and originality unlike anyone I've ever met, and it was such an honor to be with them on their wedding day.

I met Benjamin last year at Prizewinning Photography - a workshop hosted by The Institute in Photographic Studies. Benjamin had just come on as faculty, and very quickly I was inspired by this fellow Wedding Photographer. Be sure to check out all of his fabulously creative work at www.DerksWorks.com! 

Benjamin encouraged me to sit down and really focus on building my own wedding photography business. Since that time, we've been wedding photography buddies and chat about the industry, equipment, and the ever developing new ideas in our minds.

Photographing a Wedding Photographers wedding held a little more pressure than most, but Benjamin and Jennifer and their beautiful families made this day a fabulous and memorable event.

Here's a peek into their gorgeous wedding day! Check out their gallery here:
