A while after booking us – I think it was right after the engagement session – we were having a beer at the Mercury Lounge and Clayton told me an awesome story about when they first met us: “Man, when we first came into your house, I could smell a poopy diaper… and I thought to myself, ‘these guys are real.’”
I laughed and shook my head. “Dude, you’re awesome for telling me that.”
I freaking love that story because honest conversations are such a breath of fresh air (opposite of a poopy diaper smell – haha).
Don’t worry, I’ve since vowed to change all diapers outside on days that we have clients coming over. And as for being ‘real’, the battle against becoming cardboard cutouts of ourselves continues onward.
Okay, now about this wedding: It’s definitely among my all-time-top-5. If you can’t tell by the many, many photos below – I just couldn’t help myself. We really connected with Clayton and Neda and had a blast shooting their wedding. And did I mention it was at the historical Granada Theater!? It was so different from the other wedding we shot there because of the way they set it up.. you’ll see!
Much love,
Austin (& Dara who is saying “Austin, come to bed already!”)
