I so fall in love with my clients!! I love getting to know them, I love sharing in their excitement, I love spending their wedding day with them and feeling like they’re good friends by the end of the day, I love seeing their range of emotions and playing a part in their wedding day – the day they’ve dreamed of for so long! And I love showing them their photos, so they can relive the whole day and have gorgeous photos of themselves!
Two of my wonderful wedding clients from this past year were Aimee & Christopher. I remember first meeting them at my house and how I loved seeing that special sweet connection they had, and a combination of such a deep love and also a fun, almost newly dating excitement for each other – it was so wonderful and sweet and heartwarming! We had such a fun time at their engagement shoot and those are still some of my favorite photos ever!! And their wedding day was so beautiful, they have such wonderful families and had such a fun wedding party, and when we got them off by themselves that deep love for each other was so strong, and then we also had lots of fun photos, I love how much fun they have together!!
Aimee and Christopher recently stopped by to drop off a thank you note and referral letter for me. I was so so so touched, and it absolutely made my day and raises my spirits whenever I look at it!! Thank you so so much, Aimee & Christopher, and know the feeling is completely mutual, I adore you both!!!
I wanted to share some of what they wrote, because it means so much!!
“Dear Rebecca,
In life, we are sometimes lucky enough to meet a handful of people who inspire us to enjoy each and every day, and remind us that life is truly a gift. To our surprise, we did not expect our wedding photographer to be among those people – but you certainly are.
Our home is filled with photos taken by you that capture the love we share for one another. They make us smile and laugh, and serve as a reminder for how special it is to love someone. So for this we thank you…Our wedding and engagement photos are stunning, and timeless – they are snapshots into our journey together that we will enjoy sharing with family and friends for years to come.
Although you are just beginning your journey as a photographer – we know you will be a huge success, because you already are. Anyone who looks at your photos is amazed by the fact that you not only capture the person – but also the emotion, the moment, and the feeling. We made a lot of decisions in planning our wedding, and none were as important, nor as meaningful, as was our decision to hire you. You were everything we could have hoped for and more.
…You are a truly exceptional photographer, and more importantly – person. We hope you keep in contact with us, and we look forward to following your work…
Sincerest thanks,
Aimee & Christopher”
I have so many favorite photos of Aimee and Christopher, it’s so hard for me to choose!! But here are a few of the many I love!
Aimee is also so creative and talented!! I know she’ll end up doing something with the wedding industry, because she loves it so much and is so creative and excited about everything wedding and love-related!! She just started making adorable little cards and boutonnieres, and she’s opening an etsy shop! I LOVE etsy!!!! She just dropped off the first batch of cards – sixpence cards – for me to take photos of for her – she has them available in all different colors and with the cutest little decorations on them!! I quickly took a couple photos so I could attach them here, so everyone can see a little tease of how cute they are!!! I’ll post some more photos soon, and link to her fabulous etsy shop!!!
