Remember how I joined Phil Chester on a shoot and learned him? Well I also have the opportunity to do the same with Lindsey Roman and her sweet friends Bailey and Jordan! They’re so cool and hip, so Brooklyn definitely made sense for an anniversary session. It wasn’t too cold, but even so, we had them cuddle up together as much as possible and run around like crazy. I didn’t have any film left for this shoot, but definitely wish I had!
I had the pleasure of attending WRKSHP and learning from one of the best, Phil Chester. His work is incredible - so simple and effortless yet he captures each person and couple in such a unique way. It was interesting to hear how he shoots as well as watch as he shot. We also had some time to shoot with the couple and it was a blast. I shot half a roll of film as well, so check out those film shots in there!! I definitely want to incorporate more film shots here and there!
My rad friends Natalie and Nick!! Natalie and I met on a styled shoot then we met again at a wedding. We realized we attended the same business workshop and lived near each other (at least at the time). We met again at another business workshop and all had the same thoughts - to move to NY and do more weddings in NY! SO we did a shoot so they could start promoting even more in NY.
Their plans changed a bit and they wound up having to move home to MN, but they are still booking plenty of New York weddings, so if you’re looking for amazing wedding videographers, HIT THEM UP!!!! They travel just like I do and are SUPER RAD!
Curious how to plan the best proposal? Look no further! Matt is proposal planner extraordinaire. I swear, I’ve never met a more thoughtful person. He legit thought of everything from flying her friends in to help set up to booking a photographer to finding the perfect spot in Central Park. I couldn’t wait to meet Matt and Emily because Matt seemed so cool. They were so cool and fun to hang out with! Definitely my kind of people.
Matt said he knew I was the right photographer when he saw my love for Friends because Emily also loves Friends. My quick responses via email and jumping on a call the same day sealed the deal. Photographers - make sure you’re responding same day at the absolute least. Matt first emailed me at 8AM, I emailed back within the hour and we jumped on a call a few hours later. By the time he signed the contract (around 5PM), he still hadn’t even received a response from the other photographers he emailed. I had not only done a phone call, but I sent a custom proposal! The early bird gets the worm is a true statement, so make sure to get ahead!
Capture real, raw moments.
