Killian Palms Country Club Wedding | Stephanie + Frank

This past weekend we had the honor and privilege of capturing Stephanie and Frank’s big day! From the moment we first sat down with them to discuss their wedding, we knew they were going to be so much fun and an amazing couple to work with. The way they make each other laugh and love each other is everything we could ask for in a couple! The few days leading up to their wedding Stephanie was so nervous about everything, but we kept assuring her that everything would be perfect, and it truly was! Frank of course was cool, calm, and collected throughout the entire day. He’s such a wonderful person and is one of the most kind-hearted guys we have ever met.

They started their day getting ready at the Marriot alongside their closest family and friends. When we entered Stephanie’s getting ready suite we were in a dream! She told us she read our Bridal Guide and made sure there was plenty of room and natural light streaming in. (You see what I mean, they were so amazing to work with) As their day continued we were just so excited for them to see each other and to get them in front of our cameras. We enjoyed ourselves so much during the entire day and we are so excited to share this stunning wedding with you!

This trend 🥹

What a beautiful journey this has been and we’re just so grateful for the way the Lord has moved in our lives and business. 

We’ve learned so much along the way and are filled with gratitude for the life we live 🩷
We help them build a timeline 🙌🏼

Here’s the deal: most of our couples have never gotten married before and aren’t sure how much time is needed for photos of each portion of their day.

That’s where we come in ☺️

We’ve shot about 200 weddings and we know how much time is needed to allow for photos to be captured without being in a time crunch and feeling flustered!

So we help take that burden off our bride’s shoulders and, if they’re working with a planner, we merge the timelines to make for a seamless wedding day 🫶🏼

The ultimate goal is for us to help relieve stress and for our couples not to have to worry at all about the logistics of photos on their wedding day!
We let them know that it’s totally normal to feel awkward the first 10-15 min of the session 😅

It takes the pressure and expectations off of them and helps them relax almost instantly! 

And it’s our job as their photographers to help them feel comfortable and at ease (even with a camera pointed at them) during our time together.

Making our couples comfortable (especially the guys, who normally don’t like photos lol) is top priority and sometimes letting them know it’s ok to feel awkward clears the air! 

Go ahead and share this with an engaged couple that needs this reminder 🙌🏼
