The White Twins


by Gretchen L. Carletta

During the 2011 wedding season I had a rare opportunity to photograph Twin Brides!

Two separate weddings... Two individual Styles... Two beautiful brides...


Unbeknownst to the twin sisters, I was contacted by both Jessie and Jamie...independently of each other. While doing the initial call with Jessie and Brandon who were planning their wedding from a distance...we realized that I had an appointment scheduled in two days to meet for an initial planning session with Jessie's twin sister, Jamie, and her fiancé Jon!! What a laugh we enjoyed. By the time Jamie and Jon arrived with the twins' Mom it already felt like family.


It was wonderful to get to know both brides and their grooms through the planning process. Quirks like a "Trash the Dress" session came up for one while the other had already planned the preservation of Her dress! We enjoyed engagement sessions together furthering our relationship in the planning!


Having the opportunity to photograph engagement sessions with these couples truly enhanced our relationships, making photographing each wedding day that much more natural, fun and comfortable!
Like being with great friends...


After Jessie and Brandon's May wedding, I just couldn't wait until Jamie and Jon's in August! The family was so much fun, just full of energy, dancing and enjoying life! I have never been so thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the same family again just three months later... and the August wedding was equally as fun and fabulous...

My best wishes to these newly weds for a lifetime of happiness!
It was a pleasure to capture these gorgeous wedding days...
