Kelsey Propaganda

This is a fun little video that Kelsey and I made earlier this year. To give you some background, there's a photographer in Louisianna named Kelly Moore who is the absolute best wedding photographer in existence, in our opinion. Kelly and three other great photographers put on a photography workshop for women that Kelsey really wanted to attend, but since it's in San Diego, we couldn't really afford tuition and travel costs. But they offered a scholarship to the winner of their contest - basically they asked people to submit anything, as long as it had the words "Love Affair" in it (the name of the workshop). This is our submission - I thought it was worth sharing! Kelsey didn't win, but that's okay because we found another great workshop that we can attend together instead!

Marcia & Troy - August 9, 2008

There were a lot of couples that got married on 8/8/08 for good luck. Marcia and Troy got married the next day - they told me they don't need luck to keep their love alive! These two loved each other very much and were so much fun to work with!

When I first met with Marcia and Troy, Marcia told me that her biggest "splurge" would be her wedding dress, which she ordered from Italy. True to her word, the dress looked amazing!

My own lovely wife, Kelsey assisted me for this wedding. (She was 8 months pregnant at the time, but she stayed strong all day and had a lot of fun!) This last picture is one of her shots.

Sondra & Travis - July 25, 2008

Sondra and Travis were a great couple to work with. They were a lot of fun and it was great to watch them thoroughly enjoy their day!

We had originally planned to go to a park for group photos, but just as we were about to leave, it started to rain! By the time the rain stopped, we didn't have time to make it to the park and back, so Kelsey and I scoped out our options and found this great spot nearby. The only problem was that it was across a busy street - but as you can see, the bride had no problem stopping traffic!

Everyone had a great time at Sondra and Travis' reception. My favorite part was when Travis wheeled his grandmother out onto the dance floor where she joined in with the party!

Amanda & Neil - June 28, 2008

The day after Rachel and Billy's wedding, Kelsey and I trekked up to the north shore of Lake Superior for another awesome wedding. Amanda and Neil are a very cute couple and I love this video because everything was just so beautiful all day long! Whenever I watch this video, I find myself lusting over the strawberries on their cake. I mean seriously, how do you find so many plump strawberries like that in Minnesota?

Rachel & Billy - June 27, 2008

Rachel & Billy are possibly the nicest people I've ever met. And I know a lot of nice people! When I first met with Rachel & Billy, I thought they were only looking for a videographer. When I mentioned that my wife does photography, they wanted to book her right there without even seeing her work! I'm not sure what prompted the blind faith, but I'm glad I got to work alongside Kelsey for their wedding. We were both able to get to know them a little bit and Kelsey got some great pictures from the day. They mentioned that they'd like to expand their family sometime in the future - we're excited to meet their new addition(s) whenever the time comes!

Sheila & Charles - June 13, 2008

Sheila & Charles' wedding featured the most fun reception-entrance dance I've seen (with lots of Liberian spirit), the best salad I've ever eaten, and a beautiful in-love couple. I was so impressed by how the participants in their wedding didn't rush anything. They took the time to savor every moment and truly experience the events of their day - which challenged me to do the same everyday.
