Cheryl and Chris, Vail, Colorado

Otaaaaaaay I’m a little behind with my blogging, it’s been busy over here, and over there… (CO and AZ). The new studio in Scottsdale is coming right along and I just literally got back from AZ about an hour ago.

How would you like to see some wedding photos of a couple of serious snowboarder/surfer dude/dudettes?

Meet Chris and Cheryl. When I first met with them, we had a consultation at the studio, it seemed I was a little bit out of their planned budget for photography. They left, and I sadly thought I’d never hear back from them because they were such cool peeps. Over a month later, Cheryl called me back asking if I still had the date available. After looking at lots of other photographers, they decided to re-adjust their budget for photography and came back to me. I remember them saying that they love my style and that it’s cool, not cheesy. Thanks!

So with that in mind, I really wanted to do a great job and make sure they got some perftastic images. They didn’t want ANY shots that were “cheesy” (posed). I managed to get them to pose for just a few. They hated it, but I think they will like this photo. :)

Let’s rewind once again… lots of great candid shots at this wedding. I know Chris and Cheryl really wanted me to put my focus on their wedding guests. Just what I love to do most! Bridesmaid and Cheryl’s mom.

They would only let me pose them for photos as long as they could do a punch-kick. OK, sounds good to me!
