Kara + David are complete dolls. I know I say that often, but that doesn’t discredit how precious these babes are.
(I’ll just pretend I didn’t shoot these back in June. Better late than never, right?)
Kara contacted me about her wedding when John and I were still living in San Francisco. I assured her I’d be back in Memphis long before then, and she told me she was considering October 22nd as a potential wedding date. That also happens to be John and my anniversary, so right away I felt like it was meant to be.
There aren’t enough letters in any alphabet in the world for me to describe how amazing it would be for us to be able to shoot on our anniversary. When Kara confirmed the date and hired us, we jumped for joy.
Kara and David wanted to do some of their engagement photos at The Junior League, where they actually got married just a few weeks ago. We then headed down to the river to end their session. This was actually the first time we’d ever met Kara and David in person. They were just as charming as we imagined, but extremely much taller than we thought. I’m talking supermodel height. I am a pretty average height, on a good day, I’m 5’7. John is also a giant– 6’2, but he was NO match for David who soared above him. More like, Goliath, huh? (As I get older, my jokes get more corny, but that’s funny right there, you know it.)
Kara and David both had the best outfit choices, and Kara’s makeup was stunning thanks to the very talented Kasey Acuff. There is a reason everyone refers to her as “Queen Kasey.” It’s a super good idea to have her do your makeup for your engagement photos so you can figure out what photographs well, and who doesn’t just love feeling fancy when you’re being photographed.
Kara and David, thank you for being so wonderful and allowing us to be a part of the most special time in your lives! We cannot wait to share your wedding!
