Best of 2014… part 1
2014 was one of our favorite years to capture the weddings of couples who became friends. This was our tenth year of capturing weddings for couples. Each year we are met with new discoveries as we meet new people and bring our cameras into venues that we have never seen. This year was perhaps the most pleasantly surprising. We travelled a bit, covering events in New York City and Chicago, Cleveland and Missoula capturing images at some of our favorite landmarks. I hope you enjoy this part 1 of our favorite memories:)
Ashley & Rob | Married!
When Ashley and Robert came across my site they were living in Texas. They were planning a wedding at a resort near Ashley’s hometown of Missoula, Montana. The resort happened to be the Double Arrow Resort, which is in the town I grew up in. I actually worked at the lodge for a while as a teenager. Since meeting Robert and Ashley the first time, I knew I was going to experience a beautiful wedding that was going to be outdoors in what I now believe to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. Needless to say, I was excited for this one. Here is one of my favorite images…Ashley + Rob Married in Montana!
Robert and Ashley, congrats and thank you for having us be a part of your wedding day. It was remarkable. I felt like it was meant to be that we were able to photograph it for you.
David & Brittany | Married!
This is a special blog entry for me because it’s David’s wedding! When David first started working with me here at Finest Moments, I knew right away he was special. He has an eye for beauty and a really creative outlook. Chances are, if you’ve followed our blog for a while, you might recognize David. He’s been a trusty sidekick at many weddings with both me and Mat. He’s also been a lightroom guru during the days of 70+ weddings and year and my leading fashion counselor;) I never imagined that in a short time I would be photographing his marriage. David and I have spent quite a bit of time together. I remember editing photos with him in the studio a few days after he met Brittany. It seemed like he’s was talking real serious about her real soon. He had found his match. I met Brittany a few times before the wedding, but photographing the wedding is where I really saw what captivated David. It just seems like when they are together there is an abundance of joy. That’s a good thing. I think you will see what I mean. Here’s one of my favorites from the day…
Congrats David and Brittany! We love you guys and are excited to see the path you blaze together. Jesse + Nelli
Theresa & Miguel | Married
Miguel and Theresa are both living in New York City these days, but celebrated their wedding at a few of my favorite downtown Cleveland locations: St. John’s and the Old Courthouse. We started the day off at the Hyatt Arcade, where both Miguel and Theresa were getting ready. I could tell as soon as I met all the groomsmen, family and bridal party that this was going to be a fun day. You could see right away how happy everyone was for these two. Nelli and I both really appreciated Theresa and Miguel’s style. From the planning packet they sent out, to the decorations, to their avatar logo – it was all super stylish. You could tell that they were artists that used their wedding to express their style, and I love that. Here’s one of my favorites…
Thank you so much Miguel and Theresa. It’s was great to be able to spend this day with you. It was great meeting all of the family and guests. Congrats to you both! We’re looking forward to hearing about the honeymoon.
