Evan + Shelby + 7-7-07
I have been looking forward to this wedding since last May when Shelby and Evan hired me to shoot their wedding. At the time I ‘didn’t think much of the date, but as the year went on that’s all us wedding photographers would talk about. Are you booked for 7-7? Every Photographer that I know was shooting and some were even shooting 2 or 3 weddings that day.
I have been working with Shelby’s family going on 4 years now and I absolutely love them. They have always treated me as family and have been very loyal to me and my business. So to the Walsh family…..”Thank you for everything and I look forward to many more years with you guys!” I photographed their first daughters (Brittany) wedding 4 years ago and now on 7-7-07 it was Shelby’s turn. I don’t shoot to many weddings where I’m required to be there for 10 hours, but this was a real all day affair. Starting with the girls getting their makeup done and getting dressed. To the men putting on their tux’s and hanging in the men’s lounge (by the way this men’s lounge is every mans dream!). From there it was off to the church for the nuptials, then back to the house for the grand reception.
Jaime Johnson from Jaime Johnson Events was the wedding coordinator and all I can say is that she nailed it! There was a lot of coordination that needed to be done, tent rentals, bus’s for the guest back and forth, church set up, catering, the time line and the list goes on and on. I don’t know how Jaime does it but she is by far the best wedding coordinator that I have ever worked with! To any future brides reading this blog post…….Hire a wedding coordinator! They will make your life wonderful! In fact hire Jaime!
Now we can’t forget Carrissa Vera from the Art of Flowers. Her ideas and creativity with flowers really blows me away. Make sure to check out all the little details of the flowers and center pieces.
Now for some photos. I have not had time to go through them all but here are a couple quick selections…..
The men in the men’s lounge!
Yes, he is showing pocket Ace’s!
I love these flower balls that Carrissa makes!
Not sure why I’m into these shots but I have done a lot of them this year. I guess its because it’s something a little different and know one else is doing it in wedding photography. So what do you think?
Quick peek at the reception setup….
Last but not least the cake! This is by far the best cake I have ever photographed!
Thank you once again Evan & Shelby for having me last weekend. I hope you two are having a blast on your honeymoon!
