Kelly + Matthew, Foster City Wedding Photographer

Before I had a studio, I would meet clients in coffee shops. This is dangerous work, because you have to show up super early…. and give happy coffee drinkers dirty looks and grunt as you hold your heavy flushmount albums in search for a table … until they are uncomfotable enough with you to move and forfeit their table to you. That being said, I preferred coffee shops with LOTS of space. And pastries. LOTS of pastries.

One day I was finishing up a meeting with one of my other fantastic couples, we went to leave. Realizing we were parked in the same direction we walked together, still talking. Afar, in the distance…. I heard what sounded like someone running. Not a big deal.

Then they kept coming.

Then…. the distant cry of ‘WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!’

I turned around, because, how likely is that that there would be more than one of us on the street…. and I have lured-away from her place of work in the coffee shop- the most adorable soon-to-be-client chasing me down the street.

I just loved how Kelly followed me out, and I could tell right away she was fun and spunky. After a much more formal sit-down meeting with her and Matthew and of course their dog Lou (oh lord, get ready for Lou…he is quite a handsome camera hog), I couldn’t wait to photograph them. I adore how playful these two are together.
