Why do you see yourself as being Modern, Vintage, Classic, or Eclectic?

My style is definitely a mixture – modern, classic and eclectic. I love genuine moments, and strive to capture the unique, loving and fun personalities of my clients in the manner that suits them best. My style favors simplicity – clean lines, crisp colors, and a natural feel. I avoid heavy or trendy editing effects, and instead create beautiful images that will withstand the test of time.

What is your favorite wedding detail you’ve ever seen or created?

I’m horrible at choosing favorites, so I’m not going to! Instead, what I love is that every wedding detail is so unique to the couple. I’ve seen so many different ideas, all of which showcase the personalities of the brides and grooms. I never tire of getting to know my couples, and the details of their day are help me to understand what is most important to them.

What is your favorite store or brand?

I think I have too many favorites to name! I will tell you, though, that my favorite clothing item is a pair of Gap jeans (okay, I sheepishly admit, I have four of the same pair).

What is your favorite thing about weddings?

I love everything about weddings – the anticipation, the excitement, and of course the wonderful emotions throughout the day. I love seeing the personalities of my brides and grooms shine through in the details they chose to personalize their day. And I love that photography allows me to create pieces of art while telling the story of each couple I work with.

What qualities do you possess that enable you to work well with brides and grooms?

I’ve been told by many of my past clients that I’m a “calming influence” and I love that… wedding days can be chaotic and a bride definitely doesn’t need a photographer who’s causing her even more stress. I love that I can help create a mood on the day of the wedding and help everything flow smoothly. I’m an easy-going, “go with the flow” kind of gal, and with the ever changing nature of weddings, that’s a great quality to possess. Now, don’t get the wrong idea… when I need to step in and take charge to help the day move smoothly (like during the family portraits) I am more than happy to do so! I also pride myself in being a strong communicator – and I make a point to stay in close contact with couples both before and after the wedding. This ensures that I’m 110% prepared for the wedding day, and also helps my couples understand what happens afterwards. The process of choosing an album, gifts for family, wall portraits, etc., can be a daunting task, and I love helping couples through that process.

What steps do you take to ensure that your clients will have amazing wedding days when working with you?

I take great pride in what I do… I commit to providing you with strong communication, personalized customer service, flexibility, guidance and professionalism through 100% of the process. It’s my goal to not only meet, but to exceed, your expectations. I truly want you to love your experience with Karen Harrison Photography!

Elegant Lavender and Yellow Wedding Ideas via TheELD.com

Lavender and yellow has been a color palette that I’ve loved for quite some time, so of course it had to be part of our yellow wedding ideas miniseries [Click here to see the other looks]!  There’s something so beautiful about lavender’s pale shade of purple, and when paired with yellow, it’s both unique and elegant. Jason Mize Photography captured this elegant look beautifully, and it of course helps that he had gorgeous florals from FH Weddings & Events, some awesome stationery by Simply Designedand a fabulous model all dolled up by Michele Renee Hair & Makeup Studio showing off a Malindy Elene Bridal wedding dress!

Happy Friday everyone! I am so excited to share Chris and Elizabeth’s wedding from Pure7Studios with you today! It’s filled with fun shades of blue, orange, and teal, super sweet details, and some gorgeous moments between the bride and groom!

What (or who) helped you most in your planning process and/or on your wedding day?

We live in Atlanta and our wedding took place in WaterColor, Florida so the distance was a challenge with some things but between my mom (who lives in WaterColor) and Cheryl, our coordinator, I knew everything would be great. My mom and I are very close so I trusted her 100%. And Cheryl did such a great job putting all the pieces together that our wedding day was worry free… And that is saying a lot for me because I tend to be very type-a.

What was the most important thing to you when deciding who to work with for your wedding?

We were able to meet with a few potential vendors before we made the decision and I really just went with who I clicked with and felt like they were excited about the vision we had for our wedding. My parents also had some local references so those were definitely good insights as well.

What was your inspiration for your wedding details and/or design?

We really wanted our wedding to be a big celebration and wanted it to reflect the two of us. Also the water has been important to us from the beginning of our relationship and to both of our families so we wanted a little nautical twist. One morning a little ways into the planning I was starting to get a little overwhelmed with it all and I saw a little Anthropologie pouch on my dresser and that became the inspiration. My mom and I both carried them around in our purses until the wedding day.

What was your favorite thing about your wedding?

My favorite thing is just how much fun we had! So many of our family and friends were there and we felt so loved. And Cheryl took all the stress off of us so we could just relax and enjoy the day. And our band was the best! We still talk about what a great day it was!

What is your best piece of advice for other brides?

Make it a day you will love! Don’t worry about what you think you should have or if there might be something better out there. If you and your fiancé love it, it will truly be the perfect day for the two of you and in the end that is what is important. 

How sweet was that wedding? Truly! And I love her advice! “Make it a day you will love!”.

What are you doing to make sure you will be head over heels for your wedding day?

Can’t wait to hear all about it!
Cheers!
Samm
