Our Love Session with This Modern Romance - Help Heal Isaac

Yesterday I read a post from photographer Stephanie Williams of This Modern Romance that really affected me personally. Her talented husband and photography partner, Isaac, has been battling with a sudden brain tumor and is recovering from a stroke caused by the tumor that has left much of his left side paralyzed.

Isaac and Stephanie Williams

I had long admired Stephanie and Isaac's work, and two years ago for our first anniversary Brandon and I were lucky enough to be able to have a day-after style anniversary session with them in Carmel, California where we were married. This charming, talented, funny and down-to-earth duo made us feel at ease and captured some of the loveliest pictures of us I've ever seen. We had such a great time hanging out with them during our session, and would have loved to have gone out for a drink and some dinner after our session with them, but alas they had to continue on down the coast to their home in Southern California. We've always talked of how much fun we had and how great they were to be with.

After seeing Stephanie's post yesterday, I wanted to help this amazing couple in any way I could. They have given Brandon and I (and all of their clients, or those who enjoy looking at beautiful work) an incredible gift of wonderful memories captured perfectly in some of the prettiest pictures ever. Isaac's  rehabilitation and medical bills will be expensive, and since they work as a team Stephanie will be soldiering on with work alone. If you can help out in any way (no amount is too small!) - I know Stephanie and Isaac would appreciate it more than words can say.

Day After Shoot: Aimee and Kumu

This day after shoot by photographer Jessica Kettle is pure loveliness! Aimee and Kumu were married in Hawaii, and had Jessica Kettle do a day after session in Seattle for them. I love the location where they shot - a lovely farm setting. Actually, I love everything about this shoot, but my favorite part would have to be the bride's dress, which the bride and her mother designed and made together!

How amazing were these? And that dress! Sigh...

Day After Shoot: Pernel and Aaron

Today's post features the cute couple from Friday's real wedding, Pernel and Aaron. Day after shoots can be much more relaxed and arty than on your wedding day, and allow the photographer to really get creative and take their time to get some amazing shots you just didn't have the time for on your big day. Pernel and Aaron's day after shoot was with photographer Stephanie Williams. From Stephanie: "When Pernel and Aaron contacted me for their wedding, I was already booked! But, I’m so glad they booked for a day after session! I really love shooting these types of sessions - there’s so much more freedom than on the wedding day! We had an adventure in Escondido, California, pulling off on the side of the road whenever we found a good spot to shoot. Pernel and Aaron make an unbelievably gorgeous couple, and we had so much fun at their session."
