I was elated when my good friend Melissa told me she was engaged. I had never met Gabe before but I knew he had to be an amazing guy for Melissa to say, “yes” to. The only problem with the wedding was in Hawaii and I’m in Utah. But I knew I had to be there. So I booked 6 portrait sessions for the day after the wedding and that paid for my ticket back home, to Hawaii.
Now, I was just going to go as a guest but at the last minute Gabe and Melissa asked for me to be the primary photographer. I was so honored. Gabe is an amazing videographer and photographer himself. So you know I was super nervous. But with all the amazing detail that Melissa put into her wedding, and all the amazing family and friends that attended, my worries melted quickly.
At Gabe and Melissa’s wedding I got the best of both worlds. I was able to photograph to my hearts content and I was able to enjoy myself as a guest. The whole day and night went off swimmingly and I am still so grateful I was able to be a part of it. Congratulations Gabe and Melissa! Love you guys!
If you just said, “yes” I’m currently booking weddings for 2012 and 2013. Give me a call, I’d love to hear from you.
