Katelyn James

This historic hotel has old, vintage signage on the rooftop and Allie mentioned wanting a shot of it in the background of their photos. We were a little rushed but Will and Allie were on board to drive to the top of the garage and I’m so thankful that we did, because it was a portrait-location goldmine! From the moment I read Allie’s inquiry email over a year ago I have been excited and hopeful that we would have the honor of capturing this day for them and their families. They are basically the same person when it comes to their smiles and so I love  these series of images!

Dada would walk him down the driveway, he LOVES baths, he learned to love the lights above the kitchen island, and he loves laying on his changing table… just out in the middle of the kitchen. Everywhere you look in our house, you can see reminders of Baby James and when you see those images while you’re holding Baby Graham, it makes you hold him a little tighter. We celebrated Baby James’ first Birthday when Graham was just a week old. We have photographed three weddings in a row and while it has been hard to leave such a tiny baby at home every weekend, it has been good for me to do what I love and get out of the house! ! !

We started shooting in the bridal suite and the hotel room was filled with hair appointments, makeup touchups, and lots of gummy bears being consumed. Emma even shared some gummy bears with Chris during their first look, and in that moment I couldn’t have loved her more! ! During the toasts, Chris’s older brother shared how Chris and Emma met… on a Habitat for Humanity trip during college. : Chris & Emma | Wedding Film Sneak Peek from The Herrintons on Vimeo.

It was an absolute JOY to be with Christian and Amanda on their wedding day this past Saturday! I love capturing beautiful images of GORGEOUS people but really, what I loved even more was watching Scott and Sharon experience such a huge milestone with their first baby. It made me teary multiple times throughout the day because I can’t help but try to imagine what this day will feel like for us when Evy is getting married. We couldn’t love you more and we can’t thank you enough for allowing us to be the ones to save the memories of your big day! ! ! !
