Sipe-Bottoms wedding, 9/1/2007

I got to know Cat at her bridal portrait session in Lenoir. We had such a blast that day, and I even got to eat dinner with her family. I really enjoy doing things like this with my clients, because it bridges the gap between professionalism and just having fun, and it really helps me to get to know them more. There was never a dull moment at her bridal shoot...Cat and her family are a riot and I had a blast with them. I like to refer to Cat's style as classic Hollywood, with a little bit of modern twist. Cat always reminded me of the classic Hollywood actressses of the 1930's and 1940's, always showing elegance, class, and beauty. I must say that this really jives well with my style because I've always loved everything about that era, from swing dancing to jazz to the glamour of it all. Because we share a similar propensity toward the same style, every single photo we took of Cat and Eric was always full of life and emotion. Yes, all of our photos were like this, but Cat and Eric were different. They share that love for life that adds that extra edge and personality in their photos. They love to have fun and they aren't afraid to show it. The whole Sipe family knows how to have fun, and they know how to show it too (great toast TJ!). Yes, I loved this wedding, and yes, it was one of my favorites. Every wedding is my favorite, but there was something different about Cat and Eric that added something special to this one, a sort of fun spin on that "je ne sais quoi." Needless to say, I'm sad that it's over, but I'm so happy for both of them. They are a wonderful couple and I wish them only the best in life. Want to see what I'm talking about?
