How and why did Brides & Dolls come about, you ask? Meagan tells you all about it...
On June 7, 2014, I asked Kelly if she could shoot a wedding with me. My original 2nd shooter had something come up last minute and though Kelly owns her own business, she came along and helped me out. She’s an incredible photographer. In fact, she was actually my wedding photographer! How’s that for an endorsement!? We had so much fun shooting that Charleston wedding that I remember driving home and jokingly mentioning to her that we should just make a new company and shoot weddings together all the time! Little did I know…
I invited her to shoot a few more weddings with me and I continued to marvel at how well we worked together. Then, as I began editing the images from those weddings, it became clear how perfectly we compliment one another with our differing shooting styles. My strength resides in my ability to capture the real, candid moments as they happen and my outgoing personality during the wedding day. Kelly’s strengths are in covering all those gorgeous wedding details flawlessly and her romantic, creative ability to pose her brides so they look like they belong on the cover of a magazine. We really are the yin to each other’s yang.
The other thing that I love about Kelly is that she cares every bit as much as I do that the bride not only gets gorgeous images, but that her wedding day experience is everything she dreamt it would be. There are plenty of photographers who aren’t concerned with putting their client at ease, or making sure they’re enjoying the picture taking process (something that accounts for hours of your wedding day). Working with someone who is consistently upbeat, positive and caring makes such a difference. And Kelly has positivity in spades.
