Jayson & Chelsey are all kinds of Amazing.

Jayson & Chelsey are all kinds of amazing. They are my ninja second shooters who help make weddings run smoothly, photograph the guys getting ready and carry my bags. They fix dresses, organize family photos and hold light stands. And they are both unbelievable amazing photographers.  They also happen to be 2 of the nicest people I’ve ever met and I’m honored to work beside them. I want to make sure that I said thank you to them this year for all their help!

Jayson is an incredible photographer. He is also hilarious. His funny Facebook captions always make me laugh. He’s not afraid to get dirty :)

I think that this was my 4th year shooting with Chelsey. I have no words for how grateful I am to know her so I’ll just point out the obvious: she’s super pretty.

Chelsey also happens to be an expert dress bustler & adjuster. I have photographic evidence as proof!

Thank you Jayson & Chelsey for everything that you do!

Three Things Thursday: Garland, Food & Black Friday Deals

     *   I love garland. I think garland looks great at weddings – especially the wedding ceremony. I’m not sure if I’m crafty enough  to make my own garland but in case you are, here is a handy tutorial on how to make garland in 10 different ways!

     *   I’ve been something of a foodie addict lately. Not food addict – a foodie addict. I’m not what you’d call a cultured foodie – I am in no way knowledgeable about anything food related – but I feel if I hang out with some, perhaps their knowledge  will rub off on me. My latest reading additions are Honey & Jam & Kiss My Spatula. Check them out for some delicious recipes and visual fests!  

*   I’ve got my eye on some goodies for Black Friday. Photography Concentrate will be having Black Friday deals on all their tutorials and I can’t recommend them enough. I keep meaning to do a review on them, but until I get around to doing that I’ll just say that each tutorial is awesome and they are rumored to be a smoking good price this Friday.

p.s. Isn’t the new Mrs. Gurba beautiful?
