Annie & Rick – 6.5.09

Thursday, June 18, 2009 Posted in Weddings

I had never met Annie or Rick prior to the day of there wedding. Annie contacted me about shooting her wedding back in early 2007 but it was postponed for a time. When they contacted me again a year later with their new date I was already retained by another client. Annie sent me an email saying that they wanted me to photograph their wedding no matter what so we found a date that worked for both of us. She sent in her contract and deposit BUT we still had not met.

Two years later, on a very rainy and chilly Friday, we finally met. And I fell in love with her! She was so not what I expected. She was much much more! She was so happy, even though it was pouring and she was having an outdoor reception. I felt an instant connection to her. Her personality is contagious! She and Rick were willing to do whatever it took to get great wedding photos, including a 40 minute portrait session in the pouring rain. I had a total blast photographing their wedding.

I want to thank Pete Malone who came out last minute to help me when I needed him! You’re always there for me buddy Thanks!
