Photographer Crush

May 7th, 2010 @ 1:38 pm by Mrs. Pin Cushion

Last summer I developed a crush. In fact, it was a bit more than a crush. It was a semi-obsession. But don’t worry, it was a love affair that happened online. And Mr. Pin Cushion knew about it. This obsession was (okay, still is) with our photographer. I stumbled across her photography blog one day (after clicking from link to link and not remembering how I got to where I was) and fell in love. I had hardly looked for a wedding photographer, but when I saw this blog, I felt that I didn’t need to look any further. (I don’t normally ’believe’ in love at first sight… but perhaps love at first blog-site?)

The blog that I speak of is Steep Street. And my crush is on the fabulous photographer behind the blog, Kelty Luber of Steep Street Photography. Kelty is creative (how I would love to have a few strands of her artsy-craftsy DNA) and has a unique eye. Indulge me by checking out some of her photos (the kind that helped kindle my crush):

All photos from Steep Street Photography
(the second photo is an underwater engagement session-groovy!!)

After ogling her site for quite a while, I contacted Kelty. She was as fabulous as I had anticipated, and we arranged an engagement shoot for a time when I would be home in the Bay Area. After meeting with her for the shoot, my crush only grew deeper (don’t tell the mister, he might get jealous). Kelty is a stunning 6 foot tall redhead, she’s super-fly and has creativity seeping out of her pores. I want to be her when I grow up (wait, she’s only a year older than me? Dag nabbit!).

As a teaser, here are two photos from the engagement session we had with Kelty:

What wedding crushes have you developed throughout your planning (that you have or haven’t told your significant other about)?

oooh, I like Steep Street. Very nice! I have TONS of photography crushes! There’s http://benblood.com/ and http://www.christinechangphoto.com/
both amazing photographers that are photojournalistic but with a whimsical old-school feel. I feel like I’ve found that mixture with my photographer as well. I haven’t met her yet but through her website and blog, I feel like she’ll be so cool to work with, and I LOVE her style. Phoebe Joy Photography.

Miss P-Cushion I just got a little teary eyed! Your pictures are beautiful! On another more selfish note your bridesmaids are going to get some damn good pictures of themselves taken at your wedding! YES!
