A couple of my very dear friends are now engaged to be married! With all of the excitement of being asked to be in Josh and Kara's July wedding, and helping them find the perfect venue, I've got to say I'm relieved I have no special photographer duties revolving around the big event. Being a wedding photographer is really fun, when it's not super stressful and time consuming. But sometimes you just want to put the camera down and really enjoy the celebration. Of course, I'll still attempt to capture some fun times leading up to (and on!) their wedding, and that's why Kara asked me to tag along for their engagement video shoot with another talented friend, Jamie Campbell.
The morning before meeting up with Jamie and his assistant Sean, Kara and I tore through all of the inventory of vintage clothes I've been neglecting to list at Fine & Dandy Vintage. She ended up selecting this rust suede skirt and a breezy, peasant-yoke blouse that was a bit of a departure from her usual style, but still suited her quite nicely. I wore a short polka dotted skirt and a huge chunky-knit white sweater with a plaid shirt underneath. Kara said it was like we switched styles all of a sudden. You know, like in the movies. Which is just perfect, because Kara will be wearing that outfit in Jamie's movie of her and Josh. The video will be wonderful, I'm sure. And I'm looking forward to sharing it with you whenever production is complete.
P.S. Now I'm rather aching to add videographer to my long list of jobs.
**EDITED TO ADD: You can now find the video up online. There were no photos, just video. Check it out here.**
Lovely! Looks like a lot of fun. And what a cute couple.
xo,

Adorable! I was tickled to see another brunette Kara (like myself) with a long-haired fella (like my fella). Maybe it's a Kara thing!

Giedre, yep! Jamie just put the video up on his Vimeo account. It was just a video shoot, so no pictures. And I think it turned out to be pretty good, especially considering how windy it was. http://vimeo.com/32109256

Sherri, this actually wasn't a photoshoot, it was a video shoot, and the videographer actually already finished the video. You can check it out here: http://vimeo.com/32109256
