:: published :: kallima photography in print & online!

well, this week was a good one.

i have worked really hard these passed 3 years to do what i do and do it well. i didnt have to work hard to love it, but i have busted my tail to meet and book awesome clients, make them look amazing, and make them love their photos. and i have to be honest and say that the real payoff is definitely the phone calls, texts, emails, and letters i get from clients that are happy…so happy…that is why i do what i do and that is why i love it!

getting published is truly the icing on the cake and seriously, i am so honored and humbled by it.

this week, sherene&nyugens November wedding in South Beach was featured in the Real brides, real advice section of Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Magazine. i was beyond happy…for them, for kallima photography…just plain happy. its pretty cool to see your photos, & the love you worked so hard to catch in them, right there on a nationally  printed magazine page. words cannot describe.

then, today Southern weddings blog featured rachael&ty’s january jacksonville beach wedding! 2 features in one week…well, lets just say im beside myself with glee.

thank you to Diane Rice at Destination weddings and honeymoons magazine for helping me out with submission! and thank you to emily at southern weddings blog for the same…you ladies were helpful and pleasant and i appreciate these acclamations so much.

To see me in Destination Weddings and Honeymoons magazine, go to your local Barnes and Noble  and pick up a copy of the May/June 2010 issue. The feature is on page 20, and my information on page 126 in the 411 section!

:: wedding :: angie&shawn

friends of darby steve mean awesome people. we’ve come to find this out. meet angie and shawn. i posted their eshoot last month, but you’ll get to know them a lot better here. their wedding day was sheer perfection. lots of friends, lots of family, style and fashion, laughter and good drinks, support and chaos, incredible food and beautiful location….all ingredients for your perfect wedding day.

we love angie because she is no-nonsense. we love shawn because he can make you smile and laugh faster than you can try not to. its so important to us to know our bride and grooms. really, really know them. angie & shawns wedding is the first in a long line of weddings we booked from darby & steve…meaning we get the privilege of seeing the same super awesome, super fun people at wedding after wedding after wedding….they’re all friends, they’re in each others bridal parties, they are each others wedding guests…it really is awesome and ben and i have such a good time. i honestly tried to narrow down as much as i could but buckle in, because i failed.

angie & shawn, we love you! congratulations and we’ll see you so soon for nick&stephanie’s wedding in May!
