2019 Year in Review- Memphis Wedding Photographer- Kelly Ginn Photography

2019- The year of growth!

I’d like to start this post by saying you should never compare your life to someone else’s social media. Rarely do you see people post/talk about what went wrong, what they didn’t accomplish, or tough life lessons they‘ve learned. My friends and followers know my theme this year has been “no rain, no rainbows” so I’m here to recap our life in 2019. The rainbows, the rainy days, the sunny days, and the darkest storms.

This year, 54 couples trusted us in capturing their most important day. That’s about 5 more weddings than we’ve ever done in one year. We photographed our first lesbian wedding and it was one of the best weddings we’ve ever shot. We are in the beginning process of suing a car manufacturer for the Lemon of a vehicle they sold us. We finally, after five years of saving, got to spend over a week in Hawaii together and had the time of our lives. Our past home owner’s insurance was beyond unhelpful which resulted in us purchasing a brand new roof, out of our own pocket! We met Courtney Cox, Heather McMahan, Tommy Lee, Chris Delia, Brantley Gilbert, and Matt Nathanson, again- all of which were polite, kind, and charming. I struggled with PCOS health issues, which was challenging. We launched our own YouTube channel which has been so much fun learning about a new social media platform. We’ve had people step in and show up for us, when we trusted and affiliated ourselves with those who misled us. We started offering videography as an additional add on to our business. The support we’ve received from our new endeavor has blown our minds. We have friends from all walks of life struggling with difficulties that range from loneliness, illness, depression, uncertainty, and friends who are grieving the loss of their close loved ones. Our associate Madi’s business is absolutely booming and she has contributed far more to KGP than we ever could have imagined. 
I post all of this to show you with growth comes hardships, with success comes failures, with happiness comes grief, with joy comes sorrow, with strength comes weakness, and to enjoy the rainbow, you have to first endure the rain.

A giant thank you to ALL 54 of our couples who trusted us this year:
