Jamie + Kristin Engaged // Peterborough Wedding Photographer

Jamie and Kristin are to be married June 18th (yes, THIS June 18th) So when they contacted me to be their wedding photographer I knew we had to hussle and get their engagement photos done like yesterday!

I met them first at their home on Rice Lake to discuss details and then on Sunday at one of my new favourite spots - Needlers Mill in Millbrook for their engagement photos. Let me just say that I adore both of them! Kristin and Jamie you are sooo down to earth and easy going, I had such a great morning photographing you! and you both are totally gorg!

eat your hearttts out kinda gorgeous!!!

When I asked how they met, both started giggling... They said friends set them up at party at Jamies place 4 years ago. After that initial meeting they went on a first 'real' date... Kristin giggles some more and asks Jamie if he remembers where they went, he says yes and then told me they went mini golfing. Cute, right?

Well, Kristin then describes how Jamie was getting frustrated and ended up throwing his little putter ... and hitting Kristin. Kristin saw past this moment and realized her forever was beginning with this passionate man.

 i cant get enough of youu twooo!

On June 18th, I have the honor of documenting their love on their wedding day. I have no doubt that this day will not only be filled with many laughs but also an enormous amount of love. Thank you so much for inviting me into your lives Kristin and Jamie, but for choosing me to be a part of this amazing day.

write the book you want to read.

As I was perusing through twitter today, I found this article and found it soooo interesting and funny that I decided to retweet and share it with you!

The author is a write but I think his lecture translate into most self employed businesses. I loved the slide, "write the book you want to read" this really speaks to me as I build my business because I want to capture images that tell a story and that put huge smiles onto my clients faces, but I also want to capture images that I love, and would love them if they were MY own wedding photos. I don't want to give a client images that I'm not satisfied with, I want to achieve not only a satisfaction from my clients but I want to fall in love with the images just as much as my clients have.

I think this also relates to having the right 'fit' and relationship with your clients. As much as the bride ( or groom!) chooses you as their photographer, you have to be comfortable with the relationship as well otherwise, both of you will be uncomfortable and chances are you won't deliver the images the client wants.

"We make art because we like art [so] Write the kind of story you like best."

(ps. this is a little fav from one of my weddings last summer! amazing couple!!)
