My Wife Is A Smokin’ Hot Cheerleader
My Wife Is A Smokin’ Hot Cheerleader

So one of the many many perks of being married is you get to inherit a lot of “stuff”.  One of the items that made it’s way into our house was a wood cutout of my wife when she was a high school cheerleader. Take a look.

Super awesome right?  Anyway, I have no idea where the wallet size photos that she got 15 years ago went.  Even the mighty 8×10 prints have gone missing.  The only thing that stood the test of time was this 12 inch tall cut out.  I can’t even begin to guess what her dad “overpaid” for this thing?  29.99?  49.99?  Did he drop 74.99 on this?  I don’t know and I don’t care, and the reality is he does not know or care either.  I’m just glad we have it.  It’s a tangible thing we can pick up and hold, our kids love to look at it and it’s one of our most valuable family heirlooms.  (That might be a stretch but you get the point.)

The same is true of your wedding album.  Today everyone Facebooks and tweets photos left and right and it may seem silly to get a big giant book that tells the story of your day, but the reality is hard drives crash, prints come and go, and how would you feel if all your awesome wedding photos were only on MySpace. :)  Yeah, exactly.  A nice wedding album will last a super long time.  It’s something you and your kids will eventually look at and something that will get passed down.  How awesome would it be to have a wedding album from your grandparents wedding?


The thing is, you don’t have to just take my word for it.  A few months ago I photographed another wedding photographer’s wedding.  Megan is super computer savvy and takes more photos in 1 week than you might in 3 months so “digital files” are something she knows how to deal with.  But she also knows that just having a “disc” is not enough.  In the end she wanted an album.  I’m super glad Megan & Mitch got one and it’s heading out the door to them today but before it left I thought I’d share a few images with you and let you take peek inside.  Enjoy.


You can take a look at her whole album below.

Hey you know how The Knot gives out all those fancy pants awards to the best wedding photographers?  Well sometimes those photographers have to get married and THEY have to pick a wedding photographer.  :)  Megan won a fancy pants award from The Knot this year.  She also got engaged and picked me to shoot her wedding.  Not an official award, but a pretty good compliment right? :)

Alrighty then. On to the images!

Let’s see…. where to start…

Should I start with the fact that Megan is a photographer and is super picky about who photographs her?

Should I start with the fact that her dress could have done this bridal session all on it’s own.  (It’s that amazing.)

Should I start with the fact that Megan & Mitch’s engagement session was so epic I had been looking forward to her bridals since I finished shooting her Engagements?

Should I start with the fact that I can’t wait to see what crazy magical wedding goodness I’ll be able to document with my friends the McKellars at Megan’s June wedding?

Should I start with the fact that I was so eager to post these that I forgot to comment on them before I published the post earlier today?

I know…. I’ll start with one of the first frames I shot at her bridal session…. BOOM!
