OK!! I hope you all survived the hurricane / tropical storm! I really hope all is well with my blog readers and no one was seriously effected by it. We actually shot a wedding that day but thats a whole other blog post! Today I’m sharing Julia and Greg’s Albany Country Club Wedding with you all!
It was August 20th 2011, one of the most beautiful days of the all summer Saturdays. For some reason this was the most requested date of the year aside from the obvious 9/10/11. Julia and Greg were the first to inquire about the date and they locked it down with the quickness. I counted how many times I wrote “sorry but we’re no longer available for your date” to other couples interested and it was 32! Thats crazy! Anyway I could not be happier I got to spend the day with these two. You might remember from their engagement session I was stoked to be shooting their wedding. Julia is always smiling and Greg knows what to do to keep her smiling. As I mentioned the day was perfect! My good pal and talented videographer Al Woodard was on the scene. Makeup artist Amy Elizabeth was in the house as well. All the ladies looked pretty darn fly! Julia hooked her bridesmaids up with these awesome bathrobes from Lacoste. Thats a smart gift, it’s something practical and stylish people will use. Way to use your head Julia! Onto Greg, or as Julia’s father likes to call him “Greggy”. I loved my mans look. A nice purchased suit for not only him but the rest of the guys. I like this look, I think it vibes great with the country club wedding. Onto decor, the flowers were provided by Surroundings Floral Studio and they looked awesome. Shout out to Kim at Albany Country Club who not only runs a tight ship but treats us vendors as if we’re members of the club. I love working there! Last but not least the Karen Lawrence Band was in the house and did their thing! I know their were a lot of other places we could have worked on August 20th 2011 but I’d take this wedding any day again! Not only was Julia and Greg a blast to work with but their family and friends were all pretty awesome as well. I hope you two love birds are enjoying Alaska and this blog post reaches you!
Peace,
JP

Shots I love – the first look, always. The look on Julia’s face says it all. So sweet and touching. “Dad on deck” is always great. The shot just before Mr and mrs, again, such feeling. And you know i love the mr and mrs – always the first moment of “YAY we’re MARRIED!!!!”
