If you have every stalked my blog before, you already know Kayla and her amazing work. Kayla has been assisting us with her amazing photography skills for the past few years or so all while running her own photography studio in Martinsville, IL called Kayla Elizabeth Photography. We absolutely LOVE this girl. She’s one of the best things that has ever happened to our business and we are so grateful to have her skills join us, even if its only a couple of times per month for weddings. She has captured some great moments for our brides and grooms over the years while assisting us and is credited with some lighting assistance with some of our most popular and favorite wedding portraits (she’s usually the one hiding with light in places only she can get to). She has toughed through challenging weather, Doug and I’s marital banter back and forth, and more stressful wedding scenarios then you can imagine all while always remaining calm and extremely helpful to us. We love you Kayla we really really do.
Enter Michael, her long-time boyfriend and soon to be husband. I won’t ever forget finding out about her engagement, a text came across my phone and it was a picture of Kayla’s ring on her hand and I screamed for joy in the hotel that I was staying in. I hopped on the bed saying “omg omg omg” and was so excited for her. Her wedding is coming up fast this year and we are so honored she chose us to document it, we know it will be an amazing day. Shooting a wedding for another photographer can be stressful but also a relief because we know that she will plan the wedding so that photography is important in the day (not to mention she knows good light so we know that will come into play with her planning). The engagement session brought very plain weather but we do love cloudy weather because we feel it makes colors pop all that much more and we had a blast taking them. The session was so relaxed and fun we know the wedding will be the same. We are so excited for the fall and for this wedding! Enjoy the engagement Kayla and Michael, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!
