During the winter months, I have this tendency to hibernate like many good people in Wisconsin. With the hibernation comes idea storms and a bunch of really weird energy. For those of you who have spoken with me recently will know what I am talking about. This is the time when the artist side of me starts to loom. One day I will be filled with the mean reds (rememeber “Breakfast at Tiffany’s?”) and the next I am bouncing off the wall with crazy ideas. So when a good friend and fellow photographer, Jennifer Hassrick, contacted me about participating in a creativity workshop, I was really excited. Finally! An outlet! And in the winter no less.
Here is a couple of shots from our first assignment. Our next class is tomorrow with our fantastic leader Carol Chase-Bjerke, and I can’t wait!
She was so sweet and went into great detail about how she really wanted her save the dates to have a night time owl theme to match an antique plate that her and Michael had. Owls are a symbol of many things to Katherine + Michael and it was only appropriate that you could find owls through out their wedding. I knew her wedding day was going to be amazing. Their priority for their wedding day was not themselves, but rather their guests. They wanted each guest to feel special.
I spent a lot of time walking back and forth between shooting Katherine’s details and her getting her makeup put on. Along the way was her father’s office. I love this moment of him concentrating so hard while working on his speech for later that night.
Katherine + Michael had put together gift bags for their guests, they were filled with so many wonderful things
I have said it once, and I will say it many more times to come. I L-O-V-E the energy that happens before a wedding. The air is electric with nervous energy. Katherine had and electrical storm around her. It’s been a while since I have seen a bride this nervous.
But once she walked down the aisle and was met by Michael, I am pretty sure she forgot about how nervous she was. How could you not when you are greeted by a sweet kiss on the hand?
And now is the time for the amazing details from the reception. So many amazing vendors came together to create a truly unique and memorable affair.
When I walked into the room it was like walking into a winter wonderland. I was speechless.
Congratulations on an amazing way to officially begin your lives together Katherine + Michael! Have a fantastic time on your honeymoon!
I think about 80% of the time was spend laughing. Jen and Steve’s passion for their work and for each other is contagious.
