It's been just over two weeks, and I can't stop listening to Mumford and Sons - The Cave. I think I would've loved that song regardless, but I heard it for the first time at Jessica and Derek's reception. The next day I bought the CD, and every time I listen to it, I think of their amazing wedding. Jessica and Derek were amazing to work with from the beginning, and I was totally impressed with their wedding details and style. I was so anxious to get the film back, and now I can't wait to finish editing. Let me just say that I loved all the colors, the J.Crew seersucker suits that the boys wore, as well as Jessica dress, and the bridesmaids dresses... And I could go on forever about the car and all the other amazing details. If you'd like to see a little more J.Crew style, check out their St. Augustine Engagement shoot here.

Jessica + Derek :: Engagement Shoot
I could create a long list of the things I love about Jessica and Derek, but let me just name three. First, I love that not only is Jessica constantly excited about the engagement shoot and wedding and always running ideas by me, but Derek is extremely involved as well! The second thing, they're great to be around. One of things that stands out from their engagement shoot is when I was telling them how I have an attachment to my old camera bag that I've had for close to 7 years, and Jessica said "Do you want me to take a picture of you with your bag?" The third thing, they know how to dress. Jessica had a wardrobe of J.Crew to choose from in the back of their car. Anyway, on to their engagement shoot! When I initially met with them, they described how they got engaged at Lindey's Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, and they talked about the charm of the restaurant and cobblestone streets... And then I thought, well if we can't go back to Columbus, I know the perfect place for the engagement shoot! We found an amazing old inn/restaurant where they brought menu's from Lindey's as well as several other fun props. Overall, they were looking for images that had a magazine/editorial feel, and I think I delivered!I know I said I'll only name three things, but I thought I would mention that I also love having dinner with my clients. And Jessica and Derek treated me to Outback takeout at their home last night, where they got to view all of their engagement images for the first time on their HDTV thanks to Apple TV.
