Behind The Glass

"They say a picture is worth a thousand words but I truly believe, and can attest to it, that Forrest’s photos are worth so much more than that! I could write pages of praises about my experience with Forrest Blake Photography but I’ll try to be brief.

Forrest was so much more than a photographer for us, he helped plan and coordinate every aspect of our elopement.... and then did it again when we had to reschedule and plan in an entirely new state/environment/season due to wildfires..... and then again when I discovered a fear of heights the night before our elopement day. All without judgement, stress, complaints, or negativity! The day of our elopement he immediately made my husband and myself feel like we were just hanging out with an old friend. This meant the world to me and you can see how comfortable we are in all of the photos... none of the stiff, awkward, weirdness you’d expect when standing in front of a strangers camera all day.

And the photos, y’all, I AM OBSESSED!!!! I knew they’d be amazing but I did not know just how amazing they’d truly be. I want to share them with everyone, and do, and get endless compliments on them! And sure, it’s easy to make a bride or groom look good, but it isn’t easy to share the story of their day and feel the emotions and excitement in a still frame yet Forrest Blake Photography did that for me. I get to look back at my wedding photos and feel every emotion I did that day over and over.

So, to all of my brides or grooms out there, if you’re reading this and considering Forrest Blake Photography I would strongly encourage you reach out immediately and without hesitation. I could not have asked for a better photographer and friend through my elopement journey."
