Unfortunately For Us, The Weather Decided It Did Not Want To Cooperate. This Usually Isn’t A Problem, But John & Melissa’s Ceremony Was Held In The Courthouse, And They Had A Special Family Dinner Afterward.we Didn’t Have Many Options For Photos, And The Couple Didn’t Want To Risk Getting Rained On And Ruining Melissa’s Hair And Makeup Before Dinner.we Decided To Do A Quick 10-minute Session In Downtown Beaumont, Then Head To Their Family Dinner For The Evening. After They Returned Home From Vacation, We Set Up A Post-wedding Session In Downtown Beaumont!

Why Documentary Style Wedding Photography Is Perfect For Introverts
Documentary Photography Can Be The Perfect Option Because You Never Have To Feel Like You Are Performing For The Camera. My Approach To Photography Allows You To Explore Your Thoughts And Feelings About The Person You Love Without Feeling Self-conscious About What Pictures Might Be Taken. This Allows You To Live Your Wedding Day!the Look And The Feel Will Be Evident In Your Photos Because You Won’t Be Put In Awkward Poses That You Would Never Do As A Couple!  As A Documentary Photographer, I Want To Capture Natural Moments As They Happen- Without Staging Or Interfering With Your Natural Emotions.documentary Wedding Photography Is Personal To The Couplethe Best Thing About Documentary Photography Is That It Can Be Personal And Introspective. You Can Look Back At Your Photos Years From Now And Remember The Exact Feeling You Were Experiencing When The Photograph Was Taken. That Cannot Be Replicated With Any Other Type Of Photography.documentary Photography Often Appeals To People Who Describe Themselves As “introverts” Because You Don’t Need To Be The Center Of Attention. You Will Probably Be Happier Staying In The Background And Observing The Action Unfold!documentary Wedding Photography Is Timelessone Of The Best Things About Documentary Wedding Photography Is Its Timelessness.

However, I Work Really Closely With My Couples To Create A Wedding Timeline To Do Those Photos Quickly And Efficiently. We Review Every Combination Of Photos You Want (and Some You Might Not Have Thought Of!).i Take Into Account Travel Time, Weather Conditions, And Any Other Things I Know Have A Habit Of Coming Up On A Wedding Day (like What Happens When That Groomsman Goes Missing!)then, We’ll Move On To Doing Couples Photos Of Just The Two Of You.  Hopefully, These Photos Will Be Taken In A Location That Is Special To You.

Do I Need A Second Photographer At My Wedding?
Are You Planning Your Wedding And Wondering If You Need A Second Photographer?this Is One Of The Biggest Questions Asked When A Couple Is Choosing Their Package. This May Be An Unpopular Opinion, But Usually, I’m Going To Say No, It Isn’t Necessary, But It Can Be An Excellent Addition!i Have Shot Multiple Weddings, And It’s Nice To Have A Second Shooter, But I Am More Than Comfortable Working On My Own And Have Only Found It Necessary A Handful Of Times!of Course, There Are A Few Circumstances Where I Will Tell You, Yes, You Need A Second Photographer, But Most Of The Time, It’s Just A Nice Add-on!let’s Start With When I Think Adding A Second Photographer Is Necessary:you And Your Fiance Are Getting Ready At Two Separate Locations.if The Two Of You Are Not Getting Ready At The Same Location, Usually One Is At The Venue And The Other At A Hotel, Airbnb, Or Home. In This Situation, I Highly Recommend A Second Photographer Who Can Hang Out With The Guys While I Work With The Bride And Her Girls!when You Have A Larger Wedding With A Higher Guest Count 120+you Have Planned This Big Beautiful Wedding, Invited All Your Family And Friends, And The Guest Count Is Above 120, You Will Want To Consider A Second Photographer. You Have Meticulously Planned Events And Want Every Moment, Big And Small, Captured. This Is A Time When I Would Also Highly Recommend A Second Photographer!let’s Jump Into When It’s Nice To Have A Second Photographer, But It Isn’t Necessary…more Coveragedisclaimer: It’s Important To Note That More Coverage Doesn’t Necessarily Mean More Images. Your Wedding Will Pass In The Blink Of An Eye!i Cannot Stress This Enough. This Is A Day You Spend Months And Months Planning, Then You Blink, And It’s Gone.instead Of Quantity, Think Quality. Imagine All The Different Moments And Memories Two Photographers Can Capture. Especially If You Have A Long Day And/or A Tight Timeline And Multiple Things Are Happening Simultaneously!some Events Are Planned And Should Be Photographed. Toasts, Cake Cutting, And First Dances. But What About Those Unplanned Moments? Mom Is Crying As You Dance With Your Dad. You Looking On At Your New Husband As He Dances With His Mom. You Have Toasts, And Your Husband Reaches Under The Table For Your Hand, Giving It A Little Squeeze.those Are Moments You Don’t Want To Miss, So In This Case, I’ll Say Two Photographers Are Better Than One When It Comes To Coverage!different Perspectives/anglesweddings, Like Movies, Are Best Shot With More Than One Camera And From Different Angles. This Allows The Photographer To Capture All Those In-between Moments And Emotions! Which, In Turn, Lets The Viewer In On The Whole Story!time Constraintsa Second Photographer Allows For Flexibility In The Timeline, Which Allows For A Less Hectic Shooting Schedule. The Second Photographer Can Gather All The Family For The Formal Photos And Get Everyone Lined Up So That They Run Smoothly! I Also Like To Get My Second Photographer To Knock Out Groomsmen’s Photos After The Guys Get Ready. This Saves Time Later On! One Photographer May Head To The Reception After The Ceremony To Start On Detailed Coverage. The Other Photographer May Stay At The Ceremony To Finish Formal Family Photos! With Good Timeline Planning, This Could Be Done With One Photographer, But If You Are Short On Time And Ready To Get To Partying, A Second Photographer Does Come In Handy!something To Consider When Deciding If You Need A Second Photographera Second Photographer May Not Be Ideal If You Have A Smaller Wedding. Two Photographers Working At Intimate Weddings Or Smaller Venues May Lead To A Photography Team Being On Top Of Each Other. You Likely Won’t Need Two Photographers If You Have A Smaller Guest Count (up To 75 Guests). This Can Lead To Many Repetitive Shots And Not Enough Workspace!whether You Decide On One Or Two Photographers, I Will Capture A Complete Intricate Storyline Of Your Wedding Day. Not Having A Second Photographer Doesn’t Mean You Have To Sacrifice The Quality. If You’re Still Unsure About It, Let Me Know. We’ll Discuss It!

The Day Of Is Extremely Chaotic And Doesn't Give You Any Time To Sit Down And Connect. You Will Be Able To Gauge How They Work And If The Chemistry Is There!

The Ultimate Christmas List For Engaged Couples
The Holiday Season Is A Time For Family, Friends, And Of Course - Gift Giving! If You Are Newly Engaged, The Holiday Season May Provide An Opportunity To Get A Jump Start On Some Most-wanted Wedding Items. We Compiled A List Of 10 Great Items To Add To Your Holiday List To Move Your Wedding Planning Forward! 1.  A Wedding Planning Book. Looking For Where To Start? We Recommend Mindy Weiss's Wedding Planning Book, Or A Practical Wedding. Both Are Great Reads (though Very Different Vibes) And Full Of So Much Information! 2. A Photo Album. Wait, What? I'm Only Engaged! Fair Point, But Many Album Companies Run Excellent Holiday Sales And Allow Your Family To Purchase A Gift Card. If Your Photography Package Does Not Include An Album, This Is A Great Add To Your List. If You Need Album Company Recommendations, Let Us Know! 3. Cake Knife And Server. You May Want A Beautiful Server For Photos, But We Won't Often Recommend Spending Too Much Of Your Budget On Such A Low-impact Item. This Is A Great Christmas List Item To Have Your Cake, And Eat It Too! 4. Bridal Jewelry. Have A Particular Set Of Earrings In Mind For The Big Day? Maybe A Nice Necklace? Add Them To List! If You Haven't Bought Your Dress Yet, Be Sure To Pick Pieces You Would Still Otherwise Wear, In Case They Don't Match The Final Style. 5. Gift Certificate To A Day-of Beauty Service. This Is A Big One For Many Brides! The Thought Of Being Pampered On Your Wedding Day Is Wonderful, But The Bill Not So Much. A Gift Certificate To Your Hairstylist, Makeup Artist, Or Even A Local Spa Can Help! 6. Secondary Wedding Outfits. Haven't Taken Your Engagement Photos Yet? If You Have A Particular Outfit That You Know You Want To Wear, Add It To Your List! Have A Beautiful Brunch Dress In Your Cart? Ask For It From A Family Member! Just Be Sure To Include Sizing Information. 7. Custom Decals Or Signs. Anyone In Your Life Feeling Particularly Generous? Perhaps You Can Partner With Them To Help Design A Fun Neon Sign, Dance Floor Or Bar Decal, Or Other Personalized Item You Can Display On Your Big Day. They'll Love Being Involved, And You'll Love The Savings! 8. Cards/invitations. Wedding Stationary Can Be Expensive, And You'll Need Quite A Bit Of It! Perhaps Add Some Thank-you Cards Or Beautiful Stamps To Your Holiday List. Any More Ideas? We Would Love To Hear Them! Add Them Below.

Why Do I Love Making Memories
Why Have The Floral Arrangements Embellishing The Most Important Day Of Your Life Be Boring And Predictable? You Are Neither Of Those Things! Therefore, Why Should Your Flowers Be? It’s Thoughts Like These That Eventually Pushed Me To Move On To My Passion Of Floral Design. I Have Now Been In The Business Now For Nearly Thirty Years. That Being Said, I Had Always Worked For Other People In The Past, But Then, I Finally Realized That It Was Time For Me To Help Brides Of My Own. Flash Forward To Present Day, I’m Thrilled To Say That I Just Celebrated Three Years Of Owning My Own Business, And Couldn’t Be More Over-joyed To Have The Opportunity To Give My Clients My Full Attention And More.  as A Floral Artist, I Live For Helping My Brides Create Their Perfect Wedding. Creativity Is The Root Of My Passion And The Main Inspiration Behind Starting My Own Business. My Least Favorite Thing On The Other Hand Is Feeling Trapped Into Generic, Cookie-cutter Designs. This Is Why I Love It When My Clients Allow Me The Freedom To Think Outside Of The Box And Be More In Tune With Turning Their Personal Stories Into Elements I Include In Their Arrangements. I Get To Play Around With Beautiful Blooms, Feathers, And Greenery Every Day, While Also Helping My Clients Concentrate On The Actual Products They’re Receiving And Making Sure They’re Worth Their Time And Effort. to Me, Flowers Are Like A Piece Of Jewelry. They Can Make A Huge Statement, With Gorgeous Colors And Jewels, Or They Can Be Simple And Subtle, While Still Making A Significant And Sweet Impact On Your Entire Day. My End Result Of Every Wedding I Work On? creating Something Unique And Personal To You That You Are Head Over Heals For.with Loveannette
