matt & i are blessed by our clients in so many ways! we are granted intimate access into love stories, families & weddings in a way that touches us every time we shoot. getting to know so many people in this way has taught us so much about ourselves- the way we see things and capture them is always stretching and growing- we are grateful for that! capturing stefanie & tom’s day of family and friends was such a joy! these two families were already one in spirit long before this day came- they are just happy to make it official! stefanie & tom’s families became fast friends the moment they met so many years ago- even spending time together without stefanie & tom around! both families speak german and easily flow from english to german in conversation. i do love listening to other languages so i gave up on keeping up and just enjoyed it! family and friends surrounded them all day long and we were so glad to be there to capture it! stefanie was really laid back and comfortable- matt and i even had time to sneak out together to make some dress shots- we agree that this is our fave:
stefanie & her mom are so close- there were many moments where they would just look into each other’s eyes with huge grins on their faces! capturing them interact was just so sweet! no idea what they were saying in these next shots but it was really tender:
stefanie & tom got ready at a hotel right on riverwalk in downtown augusta so after meeting in the lobby we headed outside to shoot some portraits! but we weren’t the only ones- it was PROM SATURDAY! so many glittering highschoolers and their parents with cameras to dodge while we shot = pure entertainment. stefanie & tom were such good sports about rocking it in the sea of sparkle:
ooo, my fave! stefanie is just stunning and tom looks content and happy:
onto the reception at the historic marbury center– a restored firehouse! i’m sure this comes as a surprise to no one but these families know how to party!
and of course, a break for das boot!
stefanie & tom, thank you guys so much for having us there to capture your day! we wish you guys the best!
