{Keith + Desyré} Wedding day!

So, Keith and Desyré have gained the distinction of becoming the first couple to join the Whiteley Photography family!

This was such a fun day ofo shooting. They put their faith in my abilities and gave me free reign to shoot and document this day as I saw it. I hope that I didn’t let them down. I felt that in these photos I was able to pust the envelope of my skills and must say that I was very, very happy. I can only hope that they are as happy as I. God’s fingerprint was very evident that day. Here are a few shots from the day, and there will be more to come. Enjoy!

{Keith + Desyré} Engagement Session

Well it’s been quite a while since I have posted anything here, so I guess this post is long overdue. Meet Keith and Desyré. I wanted this shoot to really reflect who Keith and Desyré were, so we decided to do this shoot on the UC Davis campus. I am very glad that we made that decision because we had the whole campus to ourselves, and I really feel like this allowed them to relax and enjoy eachothers company while my camera and I were just along for the ride. When we started out the day, I started to give them some instruction on posing, and I asked them to give eachother a kiss. “Ummmm…we don’t kiss.” I’m sorry, what was that? “We haven’t been kissing for the last year or so.” And when were you going to mention this to your photographer who has been planing this shoot out for some time? “Um…sorry.” (they say with smirks on their faces.) Well, this was actually a blessing in disguise. Not only do I think that this is what enabled me to really capture the future Mr. and Mrs. Keith MacMillan, but it is also one of the things that makes the love that they both profess for Jesus Christ so obvious. They are both graduating from Davis and are both going to serve in the missionary field through Campus Crusade on the Davis campus.

They posted several of these shots on facebook and I noticed that one of their friends had noted how much they felt like the pictures had “captured the personality of the real you”. As a photographer, I think that may have been the greatest compliment that I had ever received. Thank you Keith and Desyré for letting me be the one to document the begining of the rest of your lives.

Look for their wedding photos in the near future! But for now, enjoy this engagement set!

[Michelle + Malachai]

Well, I had the chance to photograph another beautiful wedding with Sarah Dawson Photography. What a fantastic day. A gathering of friends and family to celebrate a couple that was truly a match made in heaven. Enjoy.

Dave Shilling - Nice work Clay! And you’re pretty classy to bump Sarah on every photo… I dig the processing on the last one… love to see that look applied to the others!
