Trish & Zac 11.29.08

Ceremony: Friedens United Church of Christ

Reception: Fountain Square Theatre

The nearly sole reason we enjoy our career path is due to the fantastic people we encounter. Maybe the single best example I can give you is right here. When Trish contacted me for their wedding earlier in the year (‘08) I could not meet her because she was living in Phoenix.  I usually am very hesitant to book anyone I cannot meet in person first so I was glad to hear that we were able to shoot their engagement. From the moment we met it was MY love at first sight! I dare you to laugh at my corniness. I will continue to beat it in the ground dead-horse-style, but I cannot tell couples enough how important it is that you are in tune with your vendors. Especially the ones who are in your face the entire day. Photographers and videographer for example. The reason I feel that this wedding was so successful is that I felt truly as if they were being themselves and were okay with some of the crazy things and locations we brought to them and had them incorporate. Photographers and videographers alike are NOT miracle workers. Truth be told, you are not going to getting stunning images (in my opinion) if you are only willing to stand at the altar and give good face. In working with us, you have to embrace and have fun with the nut-ball things we want you to do.

You see a dumpster in an alley. We see potential sexy, urban, and dramatic. You see a gritty concrete wall…no? Well then look below in the post!

Now, I would never ask you to actually get dirty (unless you didn’t mind), but my point is that you should be comfortable and LIKE whomever you pick to capture your day. And don’t be scared to be yourself, have fun and be different! For example: Playing football. Awesome? Yes. Playing football in expensive suits? Awesome and HOT.

Trish and Zac, 

It goes without saying that we feel as if you guys are our friends, not just our clients. We adore how sincere, intelligent, witty, willing, sweet, and hilarious you both are. During your ceremony I almost forgot to keep shooting because I was so intent on listening and so touched by your letters to each other during your vows. Thank you for that. Your wedding party? Out of this world cool. Zac-I love your guys. They made our job SOOOO easy and fun. Ladies-you are all so BEAUTIFUL!  And you guys managed to WORK IT! Please make beautiful babies or make up a reason so we have to shoot you guys again. Either that or we’ll take you up on our house swap deal. 

We can’t thank you enough.
