The joy of this couple can be easily understood before you even scroll to the bottom of this post. Marian and I thoroughly enjoyed our time working with them and cannot wait to photograph the upcoming wedding. We chose the Thomas Center and Baughman Center in Gainesville for this shoot and prayed for mild weather for which we got (minus a few bugs). Such a great time.
Enjoy!!
We generally shy away from August weddings in GAINESVILLE because the heat is just overwhelming. Not this time, it was the most pleasant day of the Summer and made for a super-fun day. Andrew and Jennifer were as sweet as could be and their great personalities shined through at every turn. It was a treat that Jennifer’s mom hired us as a surprise for the bride and groom. Being a WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER I love those extra sparks of fun at events. After a couple month break it was just invigorating to go out and tell such a wonderful visual story.
At one time, I was honestly worried when we decided to offer five hour packages but those worries are gone. This is the third event in that time frame and I have learned the story of the day does not change either way. I am very happy with our coverage and some of the awesome moments we captured. As usual, we worked at great venues like the BAUGHMAN CENTER and SWEETWATER BRANCH. We brag all the time about them being our favorite in town. We also got to work with CHAD REED, the most amazing officiate of all-time. It was a great day in general. Be sure to look at the great work of Marian and our new and fabulous correspondent Erica.
Enjoy!
On every wedding, Marian finds a way to amaze me. Whether it is a drop-dead gorgeous image that makes me jealous, using her bridal coordinator skills to avert a near disaster, coming up with amazing poses to make up for my attention which is on documentary style or most importantly: forging a relationship and comfort with clients that truly becomes our strongest asset.
At this event it was her resiliency that stood out. See, she had surgery less than ten days before the event and was barely walking just a couple days before. Yet she kept it together and acted like a true professional and had another kick-butt event. When clients hire a wedding photographer, the number one concern is that resiliency and what happens if you don’t feel 100%. We treat every event as if it was our own and go above and beyond no matter how we feel. We brought an extremely talented backup photojournalist just in case but that ended up being icing on the cake given the way Marian handled the day. She is truly my God-given gift!
Enjoy!
I feel really blessed to have Erica Brough as part of our team. She is a staff photojournalist for the Gainesville Sun and amazes me on a daily basis by taking the most mundane of assignments and coming back with heart-warming, fun-loving and above all: story-telling images. Erica is a true pro and she proves this on what is essentially her first wedding. I cannot wait to work together in the future. She’s a gem!
Enjoy!
