This seems to be a recurring theme among my clients! The fun part is, when I first met Aimee and Mike for their initial meeting, it was in San Francisco! Of course I don&#8217;t usually take cross-country flights to meet with potential clients, but it just worked out that I was going to tag along on my husband&#8217;s business trip around the time when Aimee contacted me about potentially photographing her wedding&#8230;And the rest is history!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m so glad Aimee and Mike decided to hire me for their beautiful fall wedding at <a href=\"http:\/\/highlandscountryclub.net\/\" target=\"blank\">Highlands Country Club<\/a> (one of my favorite venues, and I find myself working there frequently!). They are a wonderful couple, and their friends and family were so much fun to photograph. It was a beautiful wedding through and through.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/halbert_blog_A1.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/halbert_blog_B.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>I love when couples choose to do a first look &#8211; that private moment when they see each other for the very first time!<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/halbert_blog_F.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/halbert_blog_E.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>It is always so sweet to see a groom beaming at his beautiful bride, and Mike was all smiles!<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/halbert_blog_G.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kellyvasami.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/halbert_blog_H.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Aimee is truly one of the most joyous brides I have ever photographed!
