Hello, and welcome to the KJ Blog! I'm Katelyn James, and my husband Michael and I are a wedding photography team based in Richmond, Virginia. We hope you grab some coffee (or a diet coke, in my case) and enjoy viewing our latest work, browsing resources for photographers, and getting a little peek into our life! Read more...
Looking for something in particular? Here are few places to start browsing:
Normally I refrain from posting one whole post about one feature but this one is special to me! Back in 2011, our wedding was published in an issue of The Knot for Va, Md and DC! I was just beside myself with excitement!!! At the time, print features were still new to me and so to see my OWN wedding in a magazine was just CRAZY! Well, fast forward 3 years later, my sister is getting to experience the same excitement!!!
There have been a LOT of giveaways happening lately. We’re currently hosting a giveaway for WPPI and voting began yesterday for our massive wedding giveaway. It’s just CRAZY! Often times, photographers get so carried away in marketing and blogging and emails and editing that they don’t take time to really enjoy their work. I know I fall into this category. Sometimes I forget that I didn’t just make money and serve people in 2014, I also created some really pretty pictures!!! Each year the Shoot & Share community hosts a MASSIVE contest for ALL TYPES of photographers! It’s awesome!!! … It’s also really addictive!
This is a BIG DAY on the blog!! Today we’re sharing the Top 10 Finalists for the Wedding Collective Giveaway!! We spent hours and hours reviewing their entries and I have to say, this wasn’t easy. It’s hard to narrow dozens and dozens of entries into just ten finalists. We laughed, we cried… and I was nervous the entire time! I remember when we hosted a workshop giveaway and it was up to Michael and I to pick the winner… it was miserable! I couldn’t decide and I cried on the living room floor for a good hour! Luckily this process wasn’t quite as hard on me because we had some help. However, I still had my obligatory “Giveway Breakdown”.
