The omelet bar was stocked, the grits were hot, masks donned, and the cutest little green coffee truck you have ever seen sat at the end of a socially distanced line of buzzing wedding quests. It was a 2020 Saturday morning, but this one met with the happiest of sights—newlyweds, hand-in-hand, running into their reception to celebrate with family and friends. It was the wedding day of Dallace and Dustin.
If you missed our announcement early Summer, we bought the house that we have been renting for the past few years! We love our neighborhood so much, and watching it come to life with fall colors just felt different this year. It’s also no secret around here that I’m pretty obsessed with my dog, so when I felt an inkling to take some film shots around the neighborhood, my well trained pup posed for me. I even convinced my husband to stand in for a few!
One year ago today my husband and I were celebrating our 5 year anniversary and gearing up (literally) for Emily and James’ wedding day! It’s always a blast to invite my husband as my second shooter; we typically save it for friends weddings so that we can take dance breaks whenever we want during the reception! I would bring him to every wedding if I could but his career dreams actually aren’t to be a second shooter for weddings (can you believe it?) so we let him keep his freelance audio engineer gigs.
I love to share about the wedding day in these posts and point out my favorite part of the day. Honestly, this was one of my most anticipated weddings of 2019! From meeting Catherine and having worked with her wedding planner and venue both several times, I knew this would feel like an all-star wedding. I had very high expectations on this being a wedding unlike any other, and it lived up to the hype! The whole day, filled to the brim with beautiful details and moments alike.
I recently did a personal experiment to see if I was still happy with the way I has handling my film scans. When first getting into film photography, you naturally exercise a lot of trust in your equipment and the past results of seasoned photographers. I knew the color profiles of my favorite film photographers and I just jumped right in, but I felt now was a good time to step back and see what was best for my work. So I enlisted the help of my film lab!
