Although I have not known Kristen and Jamie personally but for a few months, in my (and many others) photography world, they were FAMOUS.

When I was really starting to put a lot of time, focus, and energy into my camera and learning as much as I could about photography, my sister said “You HAVE to check these two out!” (she used to live with Kristen and Jamie while attending UMD.) The blog post she showed me on Kristen’s website is still my favorite to date, check it out! So months and years had passed, I had followed Kristen’s blog and Facebook page, liked photos, showed her to all of my friends and other photographers. Finally,  my sister got engaged, AND booked Kristen and Jamie to shoot her wedding! I was ECSTATIC! I finally got to see them at work. I do have to admit, I was star struck! You can check out Chris and Sarah’s wedding photos here.

A few weeks passed after the wedding and I got a friend request from Kristen on Facebook with a very exciting message that she was looking for someone to help shoot a wedding. By this time I am dancing all over my apartment, um . . . YES! Why wouldn’t I want the experience of a lifetime??

Which brings me to THE experience. Kristen was the Matron of Honor in her best friend, Rachel’s, wedding. Rachel wanted the creative eye of a wonderful photographer but the company of her best friend on such a special day. SOOO that is where they included me. I accompanied Jamie while Kristen fulfilled her duties as MOH and than took over so they could enjoy the rest of the celebration with friend and family, together!

Kristen and Jamie, you guys are the coolest! Thank you for the experience and providing me with your expertise! I am SO grateful!

Below I have posted just a few images from the day.
