Curtis and I work together (at my day job) and when he asked me if I would consider photographing his wedding, I kindly declined… I explained to him that I’ve never shot a wedding before, and I didn’t feel I had the right experience, for such an important day, but, that I could recommend him to someone if he wanted.
You know what he said to me? “Well, how are you going to get experience if you don’t ever do it! Come on, you’ll be great, I have complete faith in you!” After thinking about it, and getting the gentle push from Curtis, I decided to go for it!
I am so glad I did! And, I am so thankful to the two of them for believing in me, when I didn’t believe in myself. Of course, they made it so easy by being so fabulous! I mean she is gorgeous, and he’s not too shabby himself!
The ceremony was held at the beautiful and intimate Maitland Art Center, in Maitland, Florida. The day couldn’t have been more beautiful. The couple invited their closest friends and family to celebrate this special day with them, and after their beautiful ceremony, they dined as husband and wife with their families at a local, Central Florida restaurant. Hawaii was their honeymoon destination, and I hear that they had an amazing time!
I want to give a special thank you to my friend Amber for being my co-photog for the day too. I couldn’t have done it without you!
Thank you again, Curtis and Amy…or should I say Mr. and Mrs. Hussleman! Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day and I hope I was able to capture all the special moments of it for you.
The couple did a “first look” which was so much fun, and it gave them the opportunity to soak in the moment! I recommend this to everyone! It is such a special moment (without all the nerves of walking down the isle and not tripping).
Amy’s little girl Lily sent butterflies off as the two were announced as husband and wife!
Love,
Jessica Liane
**UPDATE** Since I am so behind on my blog posts, I thought I would give an update on this couple’s story…they are expecting their first son together late July 2011! Can’t wait to meet their little man. Congrats on the new little addition to their beautiful family!
