I knew Katie & Charlie’s day was going to be pure magic the very moment I met them. These two are something beyond special. They’re funny, they’re caring, and they for sure know how to look absolutely amazing in front of the camera… Katie took the time to incorporate so many sweet, personal touches throughout their wedding day. From the bouquets of dried lavender that Katie tied herself… to sweet white pumpkins grown in Katie & her family’s gardens that were incorporated into reception center pieces… to sweet family heirlooms that Katie wore along with her bridal look, the time they’ve spent making memories at their venue leading up to their wedding day, and their ceremony that was officiated by Katie’s brother— their day was something so, so special. I cannot wait for you to get a peek into their wedding day at Chateau Bu De!!

Happy Friday!!! I thought about breaking up this post into a few, but I’m just SO excited to share #ALLTHETHINGS with you all at once… so that’s what we’re doing. Just a quick PSA: this post is LONG. But, if you like Charleston, are planning a trip to Charleston or are just curious about what we did while we were there on a bachelorette, I think you’ll love this post!

If you haven’t heard, the brand new Cait Kramer Photography Senior Experience launched just ONE WEEK AGO!! (To celebrate I’m giving away one FULL senior experience to a lucky Class of 2019 senior!! If you haven’t entered yet and want to learn more, get on it by clicking here!). I am so excited to re-introduce seniors into the Cait Kramer brand because, after all, I did get my start in photography by working with my classmates when I was in high school!!

We started our Monday morning by stalking the weather… seriously. I was checking Accuweather, Dark Sky & Weather.com every 5 minutes, Kerri was too, and so was my roommate! Each forecast we found showed something completely different, but most showed that the rain wasn’t going to be an issue! We were so hopeful that we could make this sweet DC engagement session a reality because Kerri & Matt drove in all the way from Kennett Square, PA!! (What an honor!!!)

I am bouncing up and down in my seat right now as I press publish on this announcement!!! I wasn’t sure if it was going to happen this week (Shoutout computer problems!!), but I am SO excited and humbled to share with you that: THE CAIT KRAEMR HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR EXPERIENCE IS OFFICIALLY A THING! Yes, that’s right friends! I’ve been hinting that I have been working on a big launch for a while now, and today is finally the day!!! I am so excited to begin welcoming sweet souls into the #CaitKramerSenior family!!

The timing of today’s post may seem pretty perfect, as there is a literal hurricane making a beeline to the East Coast, however, it has been an entire wedding season in the making! How on Earth does one plan for RAIN on their wedding day?!

These cuties started my weekend off with SO many smiles! Emily and Matt were so flexible before their engagement session! They had to deal with a few location changes because, as we kept an eye on the forecast, it definitely looked it was going to downpour for their entire session. We knew we needed a location with stunning views with or without rain, so we decided on Union Station!

FRIDAY!!! We made it to the end of a short week, and I am not going to lie… I spent most of my time trying to figure out what day it was. I’m heading into a few weekends that are light on weddings, and I am SO excited for some time to relax and travel to a few of my favorite places. This weekend, I have a sweet engagement session, and the rest of Saturday, I’m off to relax! I don’t know if I will know what to do with all of this free time!!

Ok… I definitely need to preface this post by saying that it was about a real feel of 101 degrees, and these two never complained once! We may have had insane humidity and tons of mosquitos swarming around our legs, but we also had some gorgeous light and nearly empty city parks (a rarity in DC!!). I am SO thankful for clients that trust their photographer, even when the situation being thrown at them is a little bit crazy! We got through the evening with cold water close on hand and a few breaks to cool down.

Doing a little happy dance over at my desk because IT’S FRIDAY, Y’ALL! Now, I’m not 100% sure why I get so excited about Friday these days… after all, I do work weekends and definitely don’t have Monday off for Labor Day, but I just can’t help it! Everyone is ALWAYS so happy on Friday, and it means that I (usually) get to work with a sweet couple the very next day. SO… even though my Friday’s don’t necessary mean the end of the workweek for me, CHEERS to the it being weekend eve!
