We first met Jon at a wedding that I was shooting about three years ago. I was the photographer and he was the videographer! We had the best time shooting together and he really made it easy to work as a team at that wedding. We just clicked! We got to know each other in the little time that we had to chat, and he soon told me that he will be getting married in the next couple of years.
Looking back on our wedding day, so many things went right and so many things went wrong... or I should say, "not as planned". One thing we can't forget even if we tried was that it rained. Rained "cats and dogs". Alllllllll day! The day before and the day after were perfectly fine. :) It rained so much that we couldn't even attempt to go outside.
We met this bride's family yeeeeeears ago... Like over 13 years ago when we used to work in the youth ministry of our church. That was a time before we were even married... not a thought about having a photography business crossed our minds. In fact, we weren't even into photography at all! Isn't it amazing how time can change things?
I remember being so happy when we received an email from Ali... We shot her brother's wedding a few years ago, and when his sweet sister wanted us to shoot her wedding too, we were stoked! Because they live in Minneapolis, we couldn't meet in person for the consultation, BUT we did when I got to fly out to the Twin Cities for the engagement shoot!
There are people you meet that just have the presence of peace in them. They make you feel calm and comfortable. There's no anxiety, stress or negativity of any kind. That's the way Taren + Harrison's wedding began... peacefully. It was a dreary morning with sprinkles falling here and there, but we hoped for the best and Taren stayed calm the entire time.
