Let me start out this blog by saying since all you couples out there continue to allow me to blog and share your images with the world that it was only fair that when the day came for Kris Ann & myself to share ours we would. Last week we we’re in Las Vegas for WPPI, food & fun but also to have our engagement session done. I believe WPPI drew an astounding number of photographers this year, somewhere over 14,000 I think. I also strongly believe we had one of the best photographers within that 14,000 shoot our stuff. That’s just how I roll the dice……..

So if you remember I proposed to Kris Ann last July and she said yes. Well since then the most common question people ask me when talking about our wedding is “So, who’s going to shoot your wedding?” So the million-dollar question can finally be answered. Jessica Claire, I first stumbled on Jessica’s blog sometime last April and fell in love with her eye. Without a doubt in mind I was like, when I get married some day I’m hiring this girl. I got to say going into this shoot I was a little nervous or had just this funny feeling at first to be in front of the camera. I’m just not used to it, but with Jess I didn’t have to think about lenses or f-stops and that made me really at ease. As you’ll see below, she killed it. Man I knew these images would be great but wow! I’m glad to say that I experienced that level of excitement when viewing these images that I only hope to deliver to you all when I post yours!

Enjoy,

JP

All 30 (huge post) can be found on Jessica’s blog, one that I enjoy following.

Just wanted to let you all know you can find us this Saturday January 31 at Well Wed’s, Wedding Affair in Saratoga Springs. Where in toga you might ask? Only my single favorite room of all time The Canfield Casino. We would love for you to stop by, introduce yourself or just say hi.

Ok so I never ask you blog readers for a favor but I need one. My boy from college Mike Goubeaux, is a director, designer & editor and he’s in the top 5 for a Doritos® commercial he recently directed. It’s titled “Too Delicious” and can be seen along with the other top 5 HERE. I know my faithful blog readers could do me a solid by voting everyday, once a day until January 25. It would mean a lot to Mike and myself. What’s the prize you might ask? Well he has a chance for his commercial to air during the first quarter of the super bowl. This would be unbelievable exposure for the most watched commercial night of the year and could open all kinds of doors for this talented young man. So please please please, go on, get your vote on!

Thanks
JP
