Growing as a business is kind of like growing as a person. When you first start your business, everything is an experiment. In photography world, that means everything from the type of clients you attract and work with to the type of color treatment you use on your photos. It’s usually not until years  later that you truly discover who you are and what your style is.

I am finally at that place.  :)  :)  :)

What you see now is the final outcome of what has been in the making since April 2011. Whew!

My incredibly talented designer, Ryan at Second Street Creative, was so patient with me. I brought a million and one ideas to the table and yet, somehow, he was able to refine and channel my thoughts. And later, bring my ideas to life!

I wanted something romantic and sophisticated, yet fun and light-hearted. Something that reflected who I am as a photographer and just as importantly, who I am as a person. And I think we achieved just that.

Now, WATCH THIS.

This video has been in the works for a YEAR. Yes, you read it correctly… a full 365 days. It was worth the wait, though, because it’s everything I wanted in a documentary piece and more. My hope is that you will watch it and have a better understanding of who I am and why I do what I do.

Overall, I am beyond thrilled and feel like everything couldn’t have come together any more perfectly and seamlessly. I hope you all enjoy the new look of Sarah Rominger Photography, please let me know what you think! I’d love to hear some feedback   :)

An enormous ‘thank you’ goes out to everyone who helped me along the way:

Chris Rominger, Rebecca Coombs, Mandii Green, Kate Monroe, Alisha Silver, Josh Gull, Casey & Josh Schneider, Meghan Decker, Tutti Fruitti Frozen Yogurt of Asheville, Mitchell’s Tuxedos.

 

Ronna and Jason. Totally precious.

Much to the surprise of Ronna’s 12 year old self, Ronna and Jason are a military couple. After graduation, Jason felt the calling of his civic duty and decided to join the Navy. And Ronna, already head-over-heels for Jason, was gracious, understanding, and in full support of his decision.

Oh, sweet Ronna. I think her wedding date changed three times only three short months before her wedding.  I remember her saying, “I tend to call myself a chill A-type.  I get my stuff done, but I don’t freak out if it doesn’t go according to plan.” Thank goodness for her go-with-the-flow personality  :)

We met only days before the wedding and immediately hit it off. Mostly, because we all have a similar sense of humor – we’re all upfront and honest and enjoy a little playful banter  ;)

On July 3, 2011 at the beautiful Claxton Farm in Weaverville, NC, Ronna + Jason finally tied the knot!

 

Fun fact: This gorgeous veil is a family heirloom and was also worn by Ronna’s sister at her wedding this past October  :)
