When people find out we photograph weddings, they sometimes ask if we ever get tired of going every weekend to a different one.  Every wedding we are invited to photograph is a really special event.  It’s usually the biggest day to date in the couples’ lives and we are incredibly lucky to be a part of it.  We learn about the families, how the couple met,  and we get to attend some pretty kick-ass parties!  So, no, we don’t get tired of doing this.  Especially when we have days like Kallie and Blake’s wedding.

These two got married on what was easily the most beautiful day in October.  From the very start, the whole day felt like a celebration.  Not only just for the nuptials but also because Kallie and Blake put in a ton of work leading up to the point where they are today.

It was an honor to be there that day.  Here’s how we saw it.

Kallie + Blake’s advice for future couples:
“Don’t sweat the small stuff
Incorporating your dog is hard work but worth it 😉
It’s ok to splurge money on something you really want.”
