Last week Kristin and I had our engagement session with 2 of the sweetest and fun loving people we know! Choosing a photographer was going to be an incredibly hard decision.. In fact its funny how much people get and understand that.. I think every time someone finds out either I or Kristin is engaged they never fail to ask… “Well whose going to do your pictures” I think its totally sweet and thoughtful that they understand how difficult it was going to be for us to make that decision.
We met with several just down right astonishing photographers. Ones that I look up to and respect quite a bit for the presence and impact they have made on the industry. However it wasn’t until after we met with Jasmine Star to do our wedding that we just knew that her and JD were the perfect candidates to document a big part of our perfectly imperfect love story! Not only do they produce just rockin’ images, they really take the time to invest in their clients personally.
Now it wasn’t the first time we had met JD and Jasmine, but the first time as clients.. and right from the very beginning Jasmine was so comfortable, easy to talk to, friendly and exciting..even a little loud… haha ok a lot loud but we loved it!! She treated us in a way that made us feel comfortable to be open with her but still confident with her professionalism. A perfect combination of both that really put both Kristin and I at ease.. Jasmine has a real honest and sincere genuineness about her that just really captivated our hearts and were totally content and at peace about ending the search for our wedding photographer.
I think the biggest thing that really drew us into using Jasmine and JD for our wedding was the fact that their love for each other and Jesus was so evident in their lives. Something that I pray everyday is in mine as well. I think there has to be a deeper connection with your photographer than just the images.. Being a photographer myself I see the importance of this everyday. You want someone who wants to know you and takes the time to do so. Someone who will take the time to figure out how to best represent who you are. And when your done with your experience whether its just a meeting or photo shoot you should feel like you have known them for years. That’s when you know its a right fit.. and that’s exactly what we felt. If all this just wasn’t enough Jasmine has this real humble transparency about her, a characteristic that we really respected, especially coming from someone as successful as her! Just blew us away! It is no wonder why they are as successful as they are. They have really set the bar high for industry professionals both for image quality, and loving their clients!
We couldn’t be more confident and happier with our selection of using JD and Jasmine! Our photos are awesome and I cant wait for our wedding!! Seriously cant wait its going to be so much fun!! I want to shoot with them everyday!
Here is a little teaser of our engagement shoot.. you can see more on her blog or check out our little slideshow from the day.
