REAL RICHMOND, VA WEDDING – KARA & GUSTAVE

Happy Wednesday Guys…I’m so excited to share Kara & Gustave’s wedding with you today.  Kara was the sweetest bride and the perfect client. The first time I met Kara was the week before her wedding…up until then, we had only communicated via email and phone.  When Kara first contacted me, she told me that her photographers were Jodi and Kurt of Jodi Miller Photography….well, she had me at Jodi Miller Photography!  Kara & Gustave’s wedding was so sweet and intimate….I truly loved working with her and having all of the florals captured by Jodi and Kurt was a bonus and what made their wedding so extra special to me personally, when I delivered Kara’s bouquet to her at the hotel, the reaction from her and her mom was priceless.  By the time I left and got back to my car, Kara had sent me a text message saying, ‘My bouquet is perfect Janie, I’m so happy!’  And this my friends, is why I do what I do…..xoxoxo  Enjoy the beautiful images captured by Jodi and Kurt!!
