Kim and Craig’s Keene Wedding

by Steve Holmes on June 28, 2010

I first met Kim and Craig over a year ago, and I knew right away their wedding was going to be a fun one to photograph. I had the opportunity to work with the two of them during their engagement session and also photographed Kim and her brother in the fall, so I got to know them well before the wedding.

They had a great day. Their ceremony and reception were at the Keene Country Club, and it was such a nice celebration of their love. There was a little bit of rain during the afternoon, but that didn’t stop us for getting fun group portraits on the front porch, and we were treated to clear skies for more outdoor portraits later in the afternoon.

Kim and Craig are such wonderful people, and there wedding definitely was a fun one to photograph!

I had the chance to photograph Kim and her brother as a gift for their mother last fall, and I was really excited to see one of the photos on the cuff links she gave to her brother.

Steve,

The photos are great!

Your professionalism and personality added to the fun atmosphere of the wedding.

(By the way, where do I send the money for your Blackmail Picture Avoidance Program?)

Hey Curt,

One of my associates will be contacting you directly about the BPAP; cash is the only payment accepted.

In all seriousness, it was nice meeting you at the wedding. I can tell you and Craig have a great relationship, and I had fun photographing all of you. Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad to hear you like the photos!

Best,
Steve
