What a pleasure it was to meet up with Angelina + Jake at my favorite city in the US - CHICAGO! I’ve been to every major city in America, and hands down, Chicago is my fav for sure! The unique atmosphere that it has with the river running through it, and the beautiful architecture just can’t be beaten.
During a shoot, sometimes photos is the least of our worries… One of the things that can be a challenge for us is the fact that we sometimes have never met our couple in person which means, we don’t know their personality, we don’t know what they’re going to look like, we don’t know how much they want or don’t want to be there, we don’t know what they really think of us, we don’t know if they’re in a good mood or if they had an argument on the way to the shoot.
Do you know someone in your life who just seems to have everything together? When you meet with them, you just feel like “all is well” with the world. You wonder if there’s ever any trouble in their lives and if they even have a disagreement about anything. I don’t know about you, but Craig and I are both very strong willed, great under pressure type of people.
Integrity, honor, morality…. you don’t hear about words like these too often these days. And, it’s even harder to find those who possess these and act upon them. But, not Jessica + Joel… they’re of a higher standard. Getting to know couples like them gives us so much hope for our world, for the next generation.
Through our business, we get to mete our couples. And through our couples and their weddings, we get to meet other wedding professionals. Other wedding vendors are crucial to how a wedding day will flow for us. Working at a wedding is unique in that sometimes, you don’t know who you will have to work with until the day comes.
