Katy + Justin | Beech Mountain…and vampires?

Meet Katy + Justin…

“Love is in the air…or perhaps something else is lurking in the air?”

I have been holding off blogging about my sweet friends (Katy + Justin) for the last week now.  Why?  Well…you’ll see below.  Justin is an amazing industry professional in town (Director of Client Services for Best Impressions Catering).  He is highly respected and greatly loved by so many of us!!  I know for me personally, he has been our (Weddings and the City) ‘go-to-guy’ when planning weddings.  They always deliver…always!  From start to finish, we’ve never been disappointed with him, the BI staff or the great, Dave Byron!

Moving onto Katy.  I only recently learned (about a year ago) that Justin had a girlfriend…and for the better part of 10 years!  WHAT?!  Clearly we don’t have much time to socialize at our events, but even in small talk I had no idea.  So, of course I have been giving him a hard time about why it took him so long to pop the question…all in good fun and humor!!  Katy’s presence is calm, loving, observant and completely fun!!  She entrusted Lindsey and I to ‘take the ball and run with it’ when it came to styling her autumn-look.  You see – this was Katy’s look!!  She and Justin each made tremendous sacrifices for one another regarding this session.  Major compromise!  She wanted him in fall-orange hues.  Soft autumn romance.  Classic, timeless with a touch of whimsy.  And he wanted…well, he wanted………..

And that my friends, leads me to this.

Something completely different from how we typically approach a session.  Dark.  Hazy.  Mysterious.

Justin is a huge fan of vampire inspired movies, books and shows.  Twilight, Vampire Diaries, True Blood…you name it.  It’s his thing.  So when he mentioned taking this angle, of course I was up for the challenge!!  And despite Katy’s hesitation, she stood by her man!

Photographed on-location at the top of Beech Mountain, Justin dove into his inner self.  So much that for the sake of embarrassment, I chose not to post the “fangs and girl-plays-dead” images – I may have stretched it a little.

So posted here is a tasteful taste of what our morning looked like.

Special thanks to LRT and her mad talent!!  What an amazing time I had with you, lady!  Our little, quick trip to the mountains is a memory I’ll never forget.  Where are we going next?

Katy and Justin – I love you.  Adore you.  Cherish you.  Thank you for picking me!

Josh Dernosek - Ahhhh…. come on!!!! I was expecting some Edward Cullen type stuff.

Seriously though, KVP you are gifted. Katy and Justin look great and your artistic touch shouldn’t be overlooked. These are definitely more in the line of “Interview with a Vampire,” than “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

AWESOME!October 25, 2010 – 6:43 pm
