Comfort Photography-The Blog!: Mr. and Mrs. Blase!!

When Lizzy told me that she was getting married, I was so excited! I first met Lizzy back in the days of Myspace, (remember that?) I was just delving into the wide world of Senior Portrait Photography and I was looking for my first ambassador/model/street-team-member. I didn't know what I was even going to call this person, but I was looking for someone to help me jump start the portrait side of my business. Some how I found Lizzy. She was willing to help from the beginning...she wasn't even a senior then. She was either a Sophomore or a Junior. (I checked Facebook, and we've been friends on there since March 2008) We kept in touch and eventually scheduled a photo shoot. She was and is such a sweetheart, so easy to work with and fun. She made me excited about my decision to start photographing seniors more.

Fast-forward to September 2010, Lizzy posted this sweet message on my wall:

Lizzy: Comfort! I can't believe how far you've come since you first shot me :) your pictures are so beautiful! Hope all is well :) PS- will you do my engagement and wedding pictures too?!

Me: Hey Lizzy girl!! Thank you so much!!! And duh, I better be doing your engagement and wedding pics one day....but not anytime soon missy!!

Little did I know that just over a year after this message she would actually be walking down the aisle!!

February 2011:

Me: Oh Lizzy I can't believe you're growing up on me lol...HAppy Birthday!! And you just have to let me photograph your wedding....i wouldn't have it any other way and I wont take no for an answer :) ♥

Lizzy: end of Spring/beginning of Summer is what we're planning for! So I reallly hope you aren't too busy because I couldn't have a wedding without you as my photographer!

Lizzy kept me involved all along the way, from color schemes to dresses, she kept me in the loop the whole time. I was so excited when I got to meet Curt at our engagement session one week before the wedding. Curt is in the Air Force, so planning a wedding was a bit challenging. I am so glad that their timing worked out perfectly.

I am so happy to have been a part of their big day. It has been awesome to watch Lizzy go from a high school student to a blushing bride. Now she's off to North Dakota to start a new chapter in life. Thank God for Facebook and texting!! I will no doubt be creepin' on her profile to make sure that I don't have to do her maternity pics soon. Not ready for that!! :)
