“One of my close friends is an amazing photographer. We have got to use him for our wedding pictures,” I said confidently to Amy as we were sitting down to do some wedding planning.
“Well, one of my best friends, Kate, is an amazing photographer and I’ve always wanted to use her,” she snapped back.
Uh oh. After looking at both of their websites, we were still in a gridlock. We were “over-blessed.” In the end, I deferred to my beautiful bride to be (lesson I have quickly learned) and let her make the decision. We would use my close friend for the wedding and her friend Kate for the engagement pictures since she wanted Kate to be in the wedding.
Problem solved and one early morning in June we met up with Kate to take our engagement pictures. We started at Safe Haven, the family homeless shelter where me and Amy met, and then moved onto downtown to take “artsy fartsy pics.” It didn’t feel like a photo shoot. It was me and Amy just hanging out, talking and occasionally doing what Kate asked us to.
I have to admit that I didn’t think our pictures would be the best. I am just not the most photogenic person in the world and am highly critical of any picture that I see myself in.
The results blew me away. Kate Whitmore is just plain talented. She has a gift and the world is so lucky that she pursued this passion. Check out her blog and portfolio HERE. Although she does live in Atlanta, she comes to Nashville for work quite a bit and is is the definition of amazing when it comes to photography.
Thanks Kate! You are a HUGE blessing and an even better friend to our life.
