Well this is Sara and Todd’s run on the internet. I believe they will be signing autographs this Friday from 5:00-8:00pm at Barnes and Noble….Kidding. I woke up this morning to the sweetest post on The Brides Cafe on Kellan Studios featuring Sara and Todd’s super fly shoot and giving us some big, fat sloppy kisses of praise. If you missed their shoot first time around, you have to take a second and check it out. Truly, one of our favorites this year!

“Whirling Turban” Lifestyle shoot with The Brides Cafe

Kelly — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:40:43 +0000

We were so honored to be asked by Janie at The Brides Cafe to come photograph another lifestyle shoot. Back in the fall we photographed a collaborative effort with Janie and Courtney of Merriment Events, called“Stitch in Time”. We had an awesome time working together so when Janie was sent some incredible vintage dresses from Whirling Turban she was ready for us to reunite for another shoot. If you are into vintage dresses you MUST spend some time on Whirling Turbans site…amazing!

We asked our friend Sara, of our recent three part series labeled “Todd and Sara” to come stand in as a model. I wish you could understand how insanely cold it was outside. It was literally only in the 20’s with a severe windchill. These girls were TROOPERS. With goosebumps and chattering teeth they soldiered on as if it were a lovely spring day.

We had to give in and let them wear their coats. I mean we are humane :-)

Enjoy the story of Jill and Chris’s engagement, a “Stitch in Time”.

“Chris takes his girlfriend, Jill, to his family’s farm for what seems to be a quiet Sunday lunch with family….something they do most every week. It was a tradition in their family every year at Christmastime that Chris’s parents would make intricate webs of yarn for the children to follow throughout the house… under chairs, over table tops, through doorways…to a special gift they would find at the end of the yarn. Chris has adapted that tradition for his proposal for Jill. Along the strand of yarn he has tied pieces of memorabilia- pictures from their trip to Paris last year, a concert ticket, a hand written love note…at the end of the yarn our groom waits for his fiance to be, with a ring. Since they just had lunch at home Chris packs sweets and hot apple cider (it’s beginning to get chilly outside) to enjoy after the proposal. Of course, he has brought her flowers too….”

This shoot was only made possible through the amazing team work and creativity of the following people/vendors. Go give them some love.
