VLV Photography

I will have the pleasure of photographing Matt & Kristie’s wedding this coming May and I’m pretty stoked!  Kristie is just a classy lady and we were on the same page from the get-go.  We just clicked and I can see why these two are crazy about each other.  They are just genuinely kind people who seem to really respect one another.  Their wedding will also be the first wedding of the year to kick of wedding season 2011.  {Dates usually book a year in advance, so if you’re still on the hunt for a photographer for your 2012 wedding-book early.} 

I gotta throw this in- have I mentioned before that I would LOVE to photograph a destination wedding?  I could use a destination anywhere but here about now with all this cold and snow that won’t go away.  I heard on the news today that in a town I can’t currently remember in Texas, it was 96 degrees today.  How can there be such a drastic temperature shift?  Anyway…Kristie and Matt don’t want to read my random ramblings…… 

We met at Blarney Stone Pub to start out our session.  I have never been there but a few family members of mine have and one of them loves the sweet potato fries.  Those sound good to me.  I do hope to give the place a try one of these days.  We got the place for an hour and I very much appreciate their generosity in making that possible.  This is a favorite place for Matt & Kristie and I’m just glad this worked out for them.  I was surprised though, that at barely 10am opening time, there were people already pouring in as they also serve breakfast.  Who knew??  Yep, on my to-do list of restaurants to try!

 So….now onto the images.  I had only seen pictures on the web of the inside and KNEW I’d need some lighting.  So this was my first engagement session where I got to play around with off-camera-flash {OCF}.  I gotta say….LOVE it.  The color is so rich and the whole ambiance of the place just really works with these “moody” images.  Hope you two like them!
