You should have seen the duo on the dance floor!!

Well ladies and all goodmen…the Christmas season is upon us! And we all know what that means….the annual Christmas pictures! I’m sure you all assume that being that Genya and I are photographers, our walls are adorned with a plethora of family photos. well…that would be an incorrect assumption…at least I’m speaking for myself! The problem is that when the big camera comes out…it means it’s not for just one shot…it become a session. Lets just say that when my iPhone is in my hand my 2 yr old automatically assumes I’m taking his picture. Poor kid is totally gypped…nor is he a fan of having his picture taken! So today and tomorrow, Genya and I are putting our best foot forward in doing our own family’s Christmas pictures. If you should think of us…say a prayer…shooting your own kids is never an easy task! Not to mention, being on the other side of the lens, for us, might even be harder!
One bride who definitely had no problem being in front of the camera and made it look so easy was Kristen! Genya and I had so much fun with her and Alex at their Rosemary wedding!! Jennifer, from It’s A Shore Thing, worked her magic and the day played out perfectly…not to mention, any wedding with Jennifer is always a blast!! We ADORE her!!
As photographers and coordinators, there are many things you can control, however nature is not one of them…along with SWARMS of dragon flies! All Genya and I could think was that we were glad they weren’t birds…because out little black dresses would have become spotted with white polka dots faster that one could say “oh crap!” And….I was in no hurry to reenact a scene from the film Birds!

The older you get, the more of a right you have to act immature, silly, and down right wacky {in the right environment}; well- maybe that’s how I justify my behavior as of late:) On Monday I turned 30…still far from my expiration date but a milestone to say the least! Do you ever get the crazy urge to just do something, and when I mean something I mean like jump into your child’s bubble bath with all of your clothes on and start a water fight? Spontaneously jump over the counter during a conversation with your husband? Maybe play late night pranks on your neighbors {that happen to be your co-workers}? Well I do! So, to combat aging, I believe spontaneous acts of loony behavior are a must!
Speaking of loony, we had Will and Kate’s wedding a few weeks back! Kate’s maiden name is “Looney” and even through she’s now a “Walters”- there’s no doubt that her fun loving, “Looney” spirit won’t be lost!
After their engagement session we counted down the days {which took up a lot of fingers and toes} ’til their wedding because we knew it was going to be 100% bliss, and it didn’t disappoint!
One of our favortie parts:
The duo adores the “Avett Brothers”, so as a surprise for Will, Kate decided to talk to his friends about them singing “January Wedding” at the reception. Little did she know, Will had the same idea- except he was going to sing it with his friends to Kate! The look on her face was priceless as Will took the stage!

When I say I’m rather backed up in the blogging department, I’m not exaggerating! And I’m sure if anyone notices…it’s our brides who are waiting patiently! This week, I’m sending myself off to the blogging cave!
Here in Florida, the weather is absolutely unpredictable! Almost all our couples have witnessed this is some form I’m sure, but I think Amber and Frank were handed the largest dose of weather unpredictability to date! We had an absolute blast working with It’s A Shore Thing at Rosemary Beach and were kept on our toes to say the least with Mother Nature’s ploys. Mid-way through the night, the venue had to be changed due to horrible storms…and lets just say somehow, the VUE chicks ended up transporting the cupcakes made by Confections on the Coast! Coincidence…I think not!
A few weeks ago, our hearts broke at the news of Amber’s father passing shortly after her wedding. We received a call from her today asking if we could send her a few images for his funeral this week. As heart breaking as it is to lose a loved one, it made Genya and I realize once again why we love what we do…..we were able to give Amber and her family images that they will treasure forever of her father on that special day! Regardless of the crazy weather, Amber and Frank’s wedding was truly beautiful and memorable!
It’s A Shore Thing…always making sure everything is covered!!!

One thing I love about being in the wedding industry are the friendships you develop with fellow vendors. I feel as though we are really just one big family down here!
Jennifer from It’s a Shore Thing popped in the studio one afternoon. While her and I sat and discussed all the benefits of social media and networking, Genya took little Harper off for a shoot! No, not Genya’s uber mini, Harper, but Jennifer’s. There quite the bond between Jennifer’s Haper and the VUE chicks….1) we have a Harper too and 2.) Wesleyann and Harper share the same birthday of Dec. 6th…who were both actually supposed to be Christmas Day babes!
Needless to say, we could go on and on about our love for Jennifer and her family! Be sure to visit her site…she does some pretty fabulous work {here are a few you might recognize | Karen + Lance, Jenni + Adam, and Alex + Trey}. Oh and you can follow her on twitter too {@ISTweddings}!
{these two were just too precious not to share…and made us giggle!}
