Introducing our new Gift Registry!

With Black Friday quickly approaching it is apparent the holiday shopping season is in full swing. As Emily and I were thinking about what to get our loved ones this year it occurred to us that we almost always think of photography-related gifts first. (We just can't help it, its what we do!) And as we've had many of our couples ordering wedding and engagement prints for their loved ones for Christmas, we realized that giving the gift of memories is a wonderful idea. And so our Gift Registry was born.

Now, anyone can order Gift Certificates directly from our website by clicking on the Gift Registry button at the bottom of our homepage. We think the coolest part about this is that couples can "register" with Kismet Photography for their wedding, just like they would at Macy's or Target. All the couple has to do is tell their friends and families to go to our website where they can purchase Gift Certificates that can be applied towards any of our photography services or fine products.

Our Gift Certificates are not restricted to weddings as they make wonderful gifts for anyone and can be used to purchase portrait sessions and prints as well. Giving the gift of quality photography in the form of a beautiful wall portrait or a custom-designed album is timeless and will be cherished for generations to come.

Bianca & John's Wedding

Bianca and John's wedding took place this Saturday at the historic Lake Lure Inn, which just happens to be where "Dirty Dancing" was filmed, for all you Patrick Swayze fans (are there still any Patrick Swayze fans?).

Weddings are just naturally all day smile fests which usually leave the bride and groom with aching jaws, but by the end of the night, our faces were feeling the same way. From the lively conversations between Bianca, her mom and bridesmaids to the karaoke at the reception, Emily and I were smiling the whole day. Of course there were tear-jerker moments as well, especially seeing the look on John's face when he first saw his beautiful bride. As a bonus, one of our past couples, Tiffany & James, were at the wedding and it was great to see them again.

All in all it was a beautiful day packed with laughter and emotions. We were so happy to be there to watch it all unfold and capture the memories. One memory we will never forget is John's sister and a friend giving the couple a farewell serenade from the top of a table. Now that's a send-off!

Congrats Bianca & John to "the start of forever".
