Fawn Christiansen Photography on the COVER of San Diego Exquisite Weddings Magazine!

I pinch myself a lot.. This job of mine that I love is pretty amazing. When I think of the big steps I have taken, especially in the beginning.. it was SO scary.. More like the LEAPS I took... Announcing "I am a Photographer" then I remember my first PAYING gig.. oh. it was stressful.

But with practice, determination and not being afraid to go for it..

well.. it is pretty wonderful when a moment like this happens..

San Diego Exquisite Weddings Magazine hired me to shoot a 12 page editorial for their magazine with a POTENTIAL cover.

Well..

I got the cover and it is on newsstands now.

I mean??

really.

Seeing your work in print is beyond fabulous and walking into Barnes and Noble and seeing it, MY cover sitting all pretty.. all glossy and bright..

it is beyond surreal..

Man. I am one lucky girl.

sometimes when i am editing.. a photo just takes my breath way.. this is one of them.

my job..

"My job is to give you photos that will remind you why you had that damn expensive party in the first place" 

see a great article here.

 

when a wedding is done, it is bittersweet, i feel happy to give the images, happy when i get a response of gratitude and i love that i am providing something that couples will seriously have forever!! i mean, wedding photos are FOREVER, one of the only things that you really have forever from your special day.. {well, besides love, affection and an amazing best friend}

i have been working hard on the little touches.. your sweet package you get to hold in your hands of that amazing story..

the story of your wedding..

 

 

San Diego Exquisite Weddings Magazine

 So i shot my first editorial and it was for the awesome magazine San Diego Exquisite Weddings.. It is so surreal.. To see my work in a glossy hand held magazine is SO crazy cool! The fact they asked ME to shoot, pick the model AND location.. It is pretty nuts! This photog gig just keeps getting better and better!! It really is amazing what you can accomplish if you just go for it.. Don't be afraid of rejection and do what you get most excited about! What makes you tick.. You won't be disappointed.

Happy Wednesday lovelies.. xo-f
