The Hunts // April 19, 2024
On Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Alexandra's and Kyle's wedding at the Villa Venezia. As many of you know, I had been taking time off to be present for my son who was recently diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome. While I have been working behind the scenes, Alexandra's and Kyle's wedding marks my official return and I couldn't be happier to share this day with all of you!
First of all, Alexandra speaks my love-language (type-A organization!). Wedding photographers are a bit like wedding planners--we work with our couples to create day-of timelines down to the minute to ensure everything runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. But with Alexandra, I'm pretty sure I wasn't really needed all that much.
She was the first bride to ever present me with a family photo shot list complete with labeled photos of each family member---and, ladies and gentlemen, I'm here for it!! When our day started to run behind due to last-minute landscaping at the venue, that list saved the day and we got through more than 35 family photo combinations in about 25 minutes AND they got to enjoy their entire cocktail hour! Type-A personalities for the win!!
Secondly, Alexandra and Kyle were so kind, inviting, and just downright stunning! For me, wedding portraits are the best part of any wedding day and I could've photographed these two for hours (though Alexandra's Louboutins said otherwise!). Can we have a moment for those shoes though?!
Pretty sure they were worth the pain--though Alexandra will have to have the final say on that!
Wedding days never go exactly as planned--even for the most organized among us. Alexandra's and Kyle's day had a few hiccups (even a little sprinkling of rain right as the ceremony began--hello good luck!!), but, to me, it was still perfect. Two lovely people pledged their love to each other surrounded by the support of their cherished family and friends--and what could be more perfect than that?!
Please join me in congratulating Mr. & Mrs. Kyle and Alexandra Hunt!!
