September 16, 2011 Julie & Andy's wedding day. A day of much anticipation, not only for Julie, Andy and their families, but also for Gueller's Photography. As the story has it; Julie was hired by Steve when she was 15 years old. She would be a production assistant at our studio. We knew her parents; Marge and Steve, Julie went to school with our son's Mitch & Ryan. She was involved in many activities in school. Steve, her Dad always brought attention to Julie as soon as the dance team was introduced, he would yell her name (quite enduring)! It was their signature! Since Julie was only 15 yrs. old we had to pick her up to bring her to work at times. Describing Julie as having a vibrant personality would be an understatement!! She is never afraid to speak her mind, voice an opinion, sarcasm comes to her naturally, she is full of life, are you getting the picture? In addition to my description above, she is a creative, hard working individual. Julie was a part of our studio all through high school and college, she became part of the family! When she asked us to photograph her wedding, first I said I would need to approve of this guy "Andy" before I said yes!! Andy passed my inspection, so this day was very special for the Gueller family as well.
Julie, a graphic designer by career, is very detailed oriented. I knew from the start she would be telling us what to do! She did not disappoint. Steve and I have been photographing weddings for say somewhere in the line of thirty years... Julie sent me at three page outline of the images we should not forget!! Where, when how, etc... I love it when brides are so organized. All i's were dotted and the t's were crossed. This wedding was going to be on schedule!
Andy wasn't sure about all these "pictures", wasn't it going to take forever? Julie's response... suck it up, it's very important!! YEAH Julie!! Needless to say we had a blast photographing Julie and Andy. I think we may have won Andy over when we photographed his body art (tattoo's) on the fire escape of the Inn where they were staying. It is our goal to make the photography FUN and not dreaded during the day.
Julie was radiant, the bridesmaids gorgeous, the groomsmen shall we say fun, and Andy very handsome. Celebrating their lives and love had so much meaning to us. Thank you Julie and Andy for including us on your special day. Steve, myself, Eric, Mitch and Ryan wish you love, laughter and as much happiness as your hearts can hold. Congratulations!
