Sigh*

December 22, 2011


Oh my goodness, Jeremy and I loooooove these photos so much, Clayton! We poured over them last night, and got all giggly, teary, and nostalgic at the sight of every single image. I can hardly wait to stare at them again tonight when we try to narrow down our favorites – what a tall task that is going to be, seeing as I adore them all. Thank you so much for creating these lasting pieces of art out of one of the most meaningful days of our lives! These photographs are truly the most amazing gift I’ve ever laid my eyes on, and I feel so honored and lucky to get to see our story through your lens. :) Wishing you and your sweet (and your puppies) a very happy, healthy, and love-filled holiday! -Jennifer

Kelsey said: I love the flower head piece! I am using http://www.dallashouseofflowers.com but I don’t see those head pieces, where did you order yours? Natalie said: I love that it’s so happy and beautiful, yet the surroundings are all dying neutrals. It makes the bride and groom look otherworldly.

On a technical note just wanted to mention that Pinterest users (we are an ever-growing promotion grapevine obsessed with weddings and other beautiful things) looking to share your photos have a bit of a problem where the header image pops up and sits on top of a big chunk of the photos. Not a big deal nor a complaint – just wanted to let you know.

Again, unbelievably beautiful wedding, I might steal the groom’s wardrobe, especially the hat, for my dude at our wedding. Although I love his sparingly-haired head and he’s completely comfortable with himself, he looks pretty foxy in hats like that. Thanks Clayton! maria said: i love your processing! these images are lovely. truly lovely! Kelsea said: A wedding of simple grace, sprinkled in splashes of color. Gorgeous. Will your work ever not take my breath away? Caitlin said: this is one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve seen and you captured it perfectly. Did you use the 45mmTS for this? Michelle said: *Sigh*…… more perfection x Sachin Khona said: Dude, these are so beautiful. Love every single image here! Bethany said: this wedding really suits you Clayton!! A-mazing!!!! Sandra Fazzino Photography said: It was really nice to see your earlier work today. Thanks for reposting to FB. Seeing your work now and comparing it to what was done only a couple years ago reminds me – it’s ok – in time the flower will bloom. I LOVE looking at YOUR garden. You’ve honed it in oh-so-well. Love and light and a happy Thanksgiving! Jackie Sirmopoulos said: Clayton, Ashley and Stephen are two very uniquely creative people who fit perfectly together. I am in AWW of your work and am so impressed with the beautiful shots of them. No one other than you could have shot this wedding “Ashley/Stephen” style . The pictures are breathtaking and truly reflect the couple’s love and style. These are absolutely priceless! Sincerely, Jackie Sirmopoulos Brent Deitrich - Live View Studios said: Freaking awesome dude. Amazing. Katie said: These are simple gorgeous! Ria said: In love with these.
