Courtney + Vince's Wedding
We've had so much fun working with Courtney and Vince over the past months, and their wedding was no exception. Courtney looked absolutely stunning and Vince showed up with his "A" game. Everyone in attendance had the time of their lives and no one wanted the day to end. Days after the wedding we received and email stating that Courtney had written a review about us on wedding wire. This is what she said; "We met Chad & Krissy for the first time right after we got engaged at a wedding expo. In a sea full of people pulling you every which way to get your attention, they stood out to us. First of all, they're a husband and wife team which in itself is adorable & they're two of the nicest, funniest, genuinely talented people you'll ever meet. We decided we liked them immediately & called them up a few weeks later to schedule a meeting. From the word go we just clicked with them and they made the whole process very easy. If you've never been in front of a camera before with your significant other, it can be a little awkward to say the least. After all you are essentially modeling. We met with them before our engagement shoot to have a drink and some light food just to chat and catch up, which makes a world of difference from just showing up and saying "ok go!" It ended up raining half way through our shoot so we decided to call it a day and they were more than willing to meet up again to finish the session. Needless to say our pictures were beyond beautiful! Krissy takes very organic, light, soft pictures. While chad takes more of the fun, bold, whimsical shots. You end up with an amazing eclectic blend of pictures that everyone can appreciate. The day of the wedding (which was a long day!) and so hectic they really were amazing, I ended up running late and throwing off the schedule a bit but they didn't miss a beat. Even my mom mother in law made a comment later asking if Krissy & I were good friends because we chatted away like we grew up together. It makes all the difference in the world when your comfortable with the people around you on your wedding day & these are two of the best people I know!" Krissy and I are the worst at explaining what we do, especially when it comes to describing our different shooting styles. Those kind words meant so, so much to us!
