Getting an email from Sarah has been the highlight of my day for the past several months. She makes me laugh every time, whether we're discussing which locations to choose for a shoot, what the travel plans will be, or a nightmare she had the night before. She is just a hoot I tell you! :0) She's also all about having a wedding that is the antithesis of wedding stereotypes which makes her my favorite kind of bride. I mean, you know she's taking her wedding down an alternative path, just by looking at her dress. LOVE. IT. We shot her bridal session a couple of weeks back, but we had to hold off on showing the sneak peek until after her wedding and I've been dying to post these! We had the best time and can you guess from the images where we shot? It was such a fun location!
Sarah and Neil, we wish we would have been available to shoot your wedding! I'm sure it was phenomenal and I'm so excited to see your photos! :0)
We love photographing multiple couples within the same family and that's why we were so excited to have Lauren and Ayal book us for their wedding - in addition to the fact that they're awesome of course. :0) We photographed Lauren's brother and sister-in-law's wedding earlier this year and we just fell in love with their family! This past weekend, we flew up to Washington D.C. for Lauren and Ayal's engagement session. We spent the afternoon running around the city, and then closed out the evening with Moroccan food and YouTube videos - the perfect day right? :0)
Lauren and Ayal - thank you so much for hosting us in D.C.! We had the best time with you guys and can't wait to see you again in March! Hope you enjoy the preview! MANY more to come! :0)
A few weeks back I saw a posting on twitter from a fellow photographer out in California. He posted a link and said it was the coolest thing he'd seen in a long time, so of course I had to go check it out. What I found was Lydia Shannon - an incredible woman who was doing everything in her power to raise money for breast cancer research through the Susan G. Komen Foundation. She was gathering together photographers who were willing to auction off mentoring sessions, photography sessions, and photography products. The goal: to raise 10,000 dollars! $10,000! And she didn't stop there. Lydia vowed that if she was able to raise all of the money, she would go one giant, daring step further in her efforts and shave her head in order to donate ALL of her hair to Locks of Love. Wow. We've never met Lydia before, but Sean and I are big fans of lofty goals and brave maneuvers and we knew that we wanted to help!
We will be auctioning off a one-hour mentoring session to be conducted via phone or video-chat. It can be held in person too if you'd like to come see us and if you do make your way down to Nashville, lunch is on us! :0) In our time together, we would love to help you with whatever it is you're struggling with about your business and we promise to be an open book. The auctions start on Thursday, October 14th and ends on Tuesday, October 19th. As soon as our auction goes live, I'll be posting a link to it here in this post.
In the meantime, we need your help! Please spread the word about F/Stop Breast Cancer and please please come bid on our auction! We want to help Lydia raise as much as we possibly can and we guarantee it will be worth your while! You can also follow along in Lydia's progress toward her goal by following her on twitter: @lydiashannon or following the hashtag #fstopbreastcancer
We can't wait to see all of the good that comes from this! Thank you Lydia for putting it all together, and thank you all in advance for helping to make it a success!
