Vintage Engagement Photography - Julie and Jeremy

it was another day of editing photos, re-designing wedding books, and responding to emails, when i noted an inquiry from a newly engaged gentleman...

As for the conceptions we have of the wedding, we have gleaned a majority of them from the film (and the book?) The Great Gatsby. We think of phonographs, croquet, bronze cake pans in the shapes of fish, old glass globed ticker tape machines, champagne-colored vests, champagne glass pyramids and solid gold Cadillacs (not really).

those are the words of jeremy king. i can't tell you how excited carlie & i are after this last engagement shoot! julie & jeremy won our hearts immediately, in this first email.

their style matches our heart. and that makes our job much more enjoyable and much less of a job.

so, this past sunday, as we strolled through an open field, and found a quaint alcove of foliage, i felt taken back. it was as if my eyes were looking through filters of old film-grain and classic romanticism.

thank you julie & jeremy, for inviting us into your story. being english majors, graduates from uc berkley, we know you are as intoxicated with the idea of story as carlie & i, which makes your invitation that much more special.

  42. My fiance and I grew up with Jeremy. High school was our favorite time with the gent, as we were all budding musicians who enjoyed frequent endevors to the local burger joint for food competitions.

    We always knew that Jeremy would find a lady just as unique as his own personality and when we saw their engagement and wedding photos, we were thrilled to learn that Jeremy also found photographers who were equally unique. Since landing on your blog, I've checked back daily to read your posts and ooze with adoration as I browse your work..truly amazing.

    Cheers to Jeremy's love! And cheers to you, amazing photographers who "get" that there's a story out there to capture and enjoy. =)
