Two weekends ago Brandon and I got to photograph an engagement shoot out in Sandestin with one of the most awesome couples we've ever worked with. ever. To give you a little back story...picture it, a very early morning in early October last year. Brandon and I got up super early because we had to be at the hospital by 6am as I was having an unexpected surgery that morning. As Brandon always does, he turned on the laptop that sits at our kitchen bar and eagerly awaited it to boot up...hoping, hoping, hoping that we'd have an email from someone who was interested in us taking their picture. What can I say, we were still so new to photography at that time...and we had already gone through all the family members that let us use them as photogaphy guinea pigs!;) So as I sat on the edge of the coffee table pulling on my tennis shoes I heard a tiny little gasp come from the direction of where Brandon was sitting behind the computer. I ran to read what he was reading, we had gotten 2 emails from brides-to-be that were interested in having us shoot their weddings. Little did I know that one of them would over the next 10 months become my new internet BFF.;)
Caitlin and Brandon have been such an amazing couple to work with! Over the last 10 months Caitlin and I have talked, laughed, and really gotten to know each other (all by email) and that made such a huge impact on their engagement shoot (take note of that future Addilay Photography brides;) Over the last few months Caitlin and I had a lot of fun planning out their engagement shoot. Everything just seemed to be perfect-the details, the location, the attire...you would think that we had a stylist working on the shoot- it was just that perfect! We had a beautiful "toasting of their engagement" theme and a "LOST" theme at the beach that left them with nothing but a few personal cherished items (golf clubs for him and books for her), but most importantly each other.
We cannot wait to do Caitlin and Brandon's wedding in October, at the Destin Culinary Center. Knowing Cailin, I'm sure every last detail will be modern and simple, yet uniquely magnificant! C+B, we are so excited for your wedding!! Not only because it's sure to be a chic and beautiful affair, but also because we are looking forward to our new friends getting married.
See you in 68 days....
B+S
P.S...As I was finishing this post Brandon came and got me and showed me that he had finished C+B's slideshow and I thought that'd be WAY more fun to blog on then just a few pictures! I hope you guys love it as much as I do.
