I know it’s cliche to say that you become really close with your clients, that you develop a relationship and understanding and that they are “the most amazing clients ever! I’m so lucky!”. You’ve read enough wedding blogs – you know that everyone says it. But do they MEAN it?!
When Shevaun and Derek hired me a year ago to be their wedding photographer, it started off with an ‘oh yeah, this is gonna be something special’. Constant communication, Facebook chat sessions, coffee meetups, and even dress shopping, yes, I got to see the dress as Shevaun was trying it on (Seriously? Did you really read it that way?). She wanted my opinion on her dress. How would it photograph? Does it look good? Is it too long? Does it go with the classic black Louboutin pumps? That was my first time shopping for a wedding dress. Ever! I gotta tell ya – there is so much more to looking at dresses than I could have imagined. I kinda feel sorry for you girls – there are just many options! Dudes, we gotta learn to give our girls a break! They do this all to impress us (and other girls too apparently just to sass it up). To all grooms – I’m sorry in advance but I gotta support team bride when it comes to being picky. This stuff is difficult!!
Ok, so coming back off the tangent – Shevaun & Derek are definitely the type of people I intend on remaining friends with. They are true. They are sincere. They laugh at my super rad jokes and most importantly, they trusted me with everything on their day. I want to call you friends, and I will continue to call you friends. I’m looking forward to our next coffee meetup where I’m gonna show you my new sample album, because it features your amazing wedding! Yay!
Shevaun & Derek – you’ve seen your images featured on Style Me Pretty already, but here is the story that I saw on your wedding day. I hope you enjoy it all over again.
Don’t forget to check out the sameday slideshow I put together for them to share on their wedding day. You can find thaaaaaat here!
