In college, one of my best friends had to sub-lease his bedroom for the summer in our 4 bedroom apartment. He said he found someone, and they seemed awesome but their was one catch... She was a female, and her name was Emily... She took a chance rooming with 3 guys for the summer, but we all truly hit it off. When she went back to Gainesville to finish her graduate degree, we all kept in touch, and actually visited UF several times to hang out with our new and awesome friend Emily. When I graduated, Emily moved to Tampa and we were both looking for an apartment closed to downtown, so we again became roommates, but this time on Harbour Island. Even though she was the perfect roommate, I could not have been more excited for her when she met John... It was so easy to see that they were great for each other, and no one saw that better than one of my closest friends Brandon. He was the one who sub-leased his room, and was very close friends with both Emily and John from the beginning. With Brandon's charisma and unique friendship with them both, it was almost a no-brainer when it came to choosing an officiant. Needless to say, this was a special wedding for me. Not only was their wedding weekend in Asheville, NC at an unbelievably epic venue, but my best friend officiated, my brother was a guest, and so were so many other friends. On top of all that, Emily and John know how to throw a great party. Although I photographed the day as I would for any of my clients, I definitely felt like a guest... Especially at the end of the reception! I love the images I was able to create, but do yourselves a favor and check out their wedding film by Nicholas & Keaton! I've seen it no less than 15 times. So many great memories!
