Wow, what a pleasure!

Having a beautiful bride and groom who are a pleasure to be around on the happiest day of their life is only part of the story. It’s the most important, of course, as a photographer. But behind the scenes making it all happen are all the vendors who help the family and the couple and just let go and enjoy the day. So it’s always great to work with some of the top folks in the industry.

I’ve heard many good things about Kourtney Coleman so it was a pleasure to finally work with her and she did a stellar job! Del Baroni and his full orchestra was fantastic! I have to add this comment: if you are going to hire them, do yourself a favor and go for the full orchestra. It really adds a lot and they are so so versatile in the styles of music they can do. I was really impressed! And Jonathan was a pleasure to work with. As it turns out, we both worked a wedding a couple weeks later too, which I’ll blog in a couple days. And last but not least, Katie Torres, of 6 of Four Creations fame, came and helped me out getting some amazing images while Brian Steele assisted and got some great ceremony images too.

I was chatting on the phone with Stephanie about her wedding images and which ones were her favorites… she mentioned the flower girl and how she looked just like a perfect little doll that they bought at the store for the wedding. Check out this picture of her at the rehearsal dinner. Don’t you agree with Stephanie!

And isn’t Stephanie just the definition of class!

They chose to see each other before the wedding (as you can tell above), and as we arrived at the church, amid the bridal party last minute chatter and chaos that takes place at every wedding, Stephanie stole a quiet moment with her groom to be. You might think this was a “posed” shot but it wasn’t. Just a simple moment that none of us would have remembered…

Back at the Cherokee Town and Country Club the newlyweds have a moment to share alone before the reception begins.

And then they stole away in a 1941 Cadillac Convertible…

Congratulations!
