Brides Talk: Rachel

Last June, I had the honor to be Rachel & Jeff’s photographer.  It’s hard not to just adore a client that greets you upon arrival with your favorite snack food!!  Rachel is also seriously just a great person.  No matter what went wrong, she kept her cool and never got frazzled.  It’s easy to love clients that roll with the punches!  Their wedding was a photographers dream with a beautiful ceremony location and an equally stunning reception hall.  I absolutely loved all of the personal touches that Rachel incorporated into her wedding including all of the old family photos from weddings!!!  Thanks again for hiring me and allowing me to be a part of your magical day!

When I began planning my wedding, finding the perfect photographer was extremely important to me.  I decided I really liked the photojournalistic style of wedding photography and began looking for photographers in this style.  I felt like every photographer I found in this style was too fake… the pictures all looked like posed models who were never smiling and their real personalities weren’t coming through.  I then turned to the knot and that is where I found Corey.  When I looked at her website, I immediately fell in love.  She was EXACTLY what I was looking for.  She uses the perfect balance of the photojournalistic style, yet she also seizes the fun essence of her couples and the moments of their weddings.  Since I live in South Carolina, I had to plan my wedding from afar, and after talking with Corey on the phone I booked her immediately.  I couldn’t be happier with my decision. There is not a single moment from my wedding that wasn’t captured on film — even moments that I didn’t know occurred!  The pictures are absolutely gorgeous, while still showing Jeff and my personalities along with all of our friends and families.  Wedding days and honeymoons end, and flowers die.  But the pictures Corey took are the only part of our wedding that will last a lifetime.  I am so glad that I chose Corey to be the one to capture those lifelong memories.

One of my favorite shots of the ‘cake’ EVER!
