I love letting new clients know that I really like to be friends with my clients, they get this look on their face that either says one of two things; This lady is crazy or Sounds cool with me. Colleen & Jochen are definitely a part of that second category. These two are definitely people that we now consider friends beyond the client relationship, in fact since they came up this past weekend they are being so gracious to have us come down and visit them in a few weeks. One of the things that struck me during their wedding was just how awesome both of their families were and how well they all got along. Sometimes it was hard to distinguish between eachother’s family because everyone was so friendly with each other. Colleen & Jochen’s wedding was beautiful but beyond that it was great to get to know some truly wonderful people. One person in particular, was Colleen’s sister Christine. After the reception slideshow I heard the story of her wedding photos and how her photographer (at the time) wouldn’t even return her phone calls or emails. I was very angry at this and I felt bad that at that point she didn’t really have anything to remember her day.

The next day Colleen & Jochen had invited Bryan & I to their day after brunch and we enjoyed our time with their families. They made us both feel so welcome that when the topic came up again I told both Colleen & Christine that when Colleen did her trash the dress session that Christine could come all dressed up too, free of charge and get photos done as well. Christine & Tim were definitely excited and Colleen very appreciative. So this past weekend they got in their dresses again and had fun kissing, staring at, running around, and walking hand in hand with their husbands. We had a great time and considering the cold – definitely appreciated the homemade turkey soup waiting at home! Thanks again to all four of you for coming down and staying for dinner afterwards – it was definitely good company. See you in four weeks!

Loved this lake! Took lots of photos here!

Their so cute together!

All four of them together

I am seriously in love with Colleen’s veil – I am pretty sure I could do a shoot based just around it – I pretty much did ! Check out the next few ones.

Ummm notice anything different? Yes I have a very talented husband – he is an amazing photographer in his own right and sometimes (up until now) I have posted his work but not given him credit. Not on purpose, just honestly never thought of it. He sheepishly asked me the other day why I didn’t and I told him the truth but promised him from now on I’d share with everyone his gorgeous shots. This next one is my favorite from the shoot.

I’m sure we’ll have photos from when we go up and visit – can’t wait!

Wishing you friendship & love,

Amanda
