  • Welcome to Kelly Braman Photography

 

 

Meet Johnny and Kristin! I just adore winter wonderland weddings and this one will not disappoint!  This wedding was full of family, tradition, heritage, joy and love!!  Ukranian and Greek heritages were merged together to create an authentic and unique wedding day! I loved hearing all about their religion and heritages!  It was one of the most important parts of the day for many!  You will see from the images I captured that this wedding was Amazing!  There were so many little details that went into making this wedding stand out.  From the decor(simply breathtaking!) to the beautiful ceremony, the girls hand made scarves and sparkly accents, to the reindeer greeting guests as they arrived! Yes..I said REINDEER! How fun is that?  Kristin’s vision truly came to life and I felt honored to be able to document their story!

 

Johnny and Kristin..I hope you have a fabulous time on your honeymoon! Karyn and I had such a great time at your wedding and I loved being a part of your amazing celebration!!!! I LOVE what I capurted for you! You two are such sweethearts and I can’t wait to photograph your little ones in the future!! 😉

 

blessings,

kellyb.

    Dee - What a perfect winter wedding! The bride is GORGEOUS!!! I swear you get better with every session/wedding! You will always be my favorite photog!ReplyCancel

Oh, my! Where did 2011 go??!?!  Whew…what a year it has been!  I have been blessed beyond measure and I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of my wonderful clients! It has been such a pleasure getting to know my couples and families and I am incredibly honored to have been a small part of your stories!  Each and every bride is so unique and special and I love being a part of your joy!  I have enjoyed meeting my familes and seniors and loved snuggling  your new babies and children. Thank you for choosing me to photograph your most special milestones and celebrations!  I truly do take my job seriously in the fact that these are such precious and sacred memories. One day you will look back on these images with tears and laughter and sighs of times long past. I can promise you…you will NEVER regret this investment in your memories and I promise to always photograph your events and sessions as if they are my own!

 

So…with that…I wish EACH AND EVERY ONE  of my blog readers, friends, clients (& clients who have turned into friends 🙂 and new readers a Very Merry Christmas!!!!!!!  I want to also add that although I do not often share my personal thoughts on the blog…I have to give ALL of my thanks to God. Without Him I would not have been blessed with this talent He has given me.

 

Oh, and one last thing 🙂 …we welcomed a new addition to our family last week…we call him our Christmas Baby:  Meet Sullivan Braman…aka..SullyB.  We are completely smitten with him!!

 

SullyB.

    Dee - I love SullyB!!!!! Can’t wait to meet him! And I love you, Kellyb! Most talented friend I have 🙂ReplyCancel

Meet Brian and Sarah! I met this lovely couple last year and when they contacted me regarding wedding photography…I couldn’t have been happier! I adore their family and Sarah has the sweetest mama and sister(well, and grandma, and grandpa, and aunt and uncle and dad and and…her whole darn family is sweet! forgive me if I left anyone out…you were all so nice!)! I knew this wedding was going to be laid back, beautiful and joyful! You will see from the images I captured..it was all of that and more!

I met with Sarah and her mom, Janel, a couple of weeks prior to the wedding to go over all of the details surrounding the day. Sarah mentioned that her and Brian Loved Mad Men(such a great series!) I came up with a few ideas to tie that in with photography and it was fun to incorporate that feel into their day. Sarah also mentioned Old Hollywood! I think she pulled it off and I LOVE what I captured for them! Sarah was a beautiful bride and simply the sweetest! Brian is a man of faith and I honestly think that was my favorite part of their wedding! The love they have for each other and their committment to God. The ceremony was touching and I loved hearing their story! What a beautiful day!

Brian and Sarah! Thank you for allowing me to document your love. You were surrounded by your closest friends and family and you truly could feel the love in the room! Congratulations and much love!

blessings,
