Yeah so we're a little behind on blogging. It's wedding season, what can we say?! If you really want the latest in Kismet goodness, your best bet is to head on over to the Kismet Photography Facebook Fan page. We post our newest stuff there first and all you have to do is "Like" us and you'll be notified whenever we do. You can also feel free to tell us you "Like" everything we post. It's good for our self esteem. :)
And now for the epic blog post of Kerri & Brian!
We don't typically do morning shoots, partly because fewer people want to get up early if they aren't working and partly because it can be a bit cold, especially in the early spring months. But it actually can be a great time to do it because fewer places are packed with people yet, especially Downtown Greenville. Kerri & Brian's was engagement portraits were done just a couple days before the wedding as that is the earliest Brian (an Air Force pilot stationed in Florida) could be in town before the wedding.
Oh and the light can be really nice too.
Gee do you think they were happy to be getting married in a couple days?!
And now for something completely different...Kerri's amazing bridal portraits shot at and around her family's farm. There are a lot of them but we couldn't resist. The location was very cool, she was just too beautiful and they are just so stinkin' great!
See what we mean!?!
Kerri, mild-mannered office worker by day; by night, a stunning bride with the power to level small buildings and not even get her beautiful white heels dirty.
And did we mention the awesomely unique dress she wore? Loved the flowy-ness (sp?).
To top it all of we had a huge field of amber grass back-lit by the setting sun. Too bad it's just an image and you can't hear the choir of heavenly angels singing in the background. :/
For any photographers out there reading this, these next two are great examples of varying perspectives. She didn't move but we still were able to get two totally different shots.
Loved the hair piece she wore from Etsy. Brides, you should check it out.
The Wedding Day!
The couple's First Look. Always a beautiful moment.
How convenient that they knew someone with a classic corvette that just happened to match the wedding color?! BONUS!
Love the motion and expression in this shot from their First Dance. Sometimes a perfectly sharp image with frozen motion is not the best way to capture a scene. Sometimes you want to show that your subjects are in fact moving.
These two lovebirds couldn't help but smile, laugh and enjoy their wedding day, despite the rain that moved their beautiful country-themed reception under cover.
Kerri's brother-in-law's band, Pipers Down, did a great job.
That a boy Brian. Don't let one morsel of that sinfully delicious chocolate groom's cake go to waste!
Before they jetted off to their exotic honeymoon destination, we got a few of our signature "End of the Night" shots. We like to end a couple's album with something a bit more romantic and moody (or playful and spunky or sensual and sexy if either suits the couple more).

Practicing their dance moves for their first dance.
Yeah we could tell Molly has grown on Richard just a little.
Interesting little factoid, I just realized this is the second time we have shot a 221 street number sign this year. The other was for Club 221 in Greenville for another couple's engagement shoot (coming soon).
Lisa and Richard are wine enthusiasts and their kitchen is what sold them on their house. 2 birds, 1 stone.
Lisa made a cool "memory box" to hold all of their dating memorabilia.
