Flowers girls on peep! Now I’m talking about a bucha cuties right here .. Kate + Tyler snapped by Mike for @chellisemichaelphotography ♥️🙌🏼 I grew up without my Father around but we eventually reconnected when I was 16. We only had 2 years of building a friendship before he died in a car accident. During this time I went to Lake Powell every Memorial & Labor Day weekend to camp on the beach with friends where my Dads best friend since childhood, Chuck, also happened to live with his family. I always invited him to join me and my girlfriends on the lake so with his crooked pilots hat, hilarious jokes, and big laugh, he became our “Captain Chuck” and watched over us. He would bring us ice from town, cruised us all over the Lake in his little speed boat and shared so many crazy stories about my free-spirited wild child father. At the end of our 5 day camping trip, we looked forward to a home cooked meal and a real shower at his home before heading back to Phx. These trips became so special to me because Chuck had become the key to knowing more - if not everything about my Dad. All my life, I had only heard from my family the bad stuff he did - which was totally accurate but as his daughter, I craved the good stuff too. I wanted to know about his personality, his sense of humor, his troubles, his stories, and his tattoos. So to this day, and after 20+ years - Chuck shares the best of him with me because he knows no other side. I decided very early on to never let Chuck out of my life. After my Lake Powell years, I kept calling him and he kept up on me too.. When we do get to see each other, he looks at me with proud, Fatherly eyes, he tears up when I tell him I love him, and he even grilled Mike on the phone the first time he talked to him. All the Dad stuff I never had but wanted I get from this man and we both know that my Dad is chillin up in heaven so damn happy that his bestie is looking out for me on his behalf. - Here’s to you Chuck and to all the Dads out there. 💕 Wedding photos by @wscottchester Dropped down from Heaven this one ... @cobrakaye ♥️🙌🏼 Shot by Mike + Chellise for @chellisemichaelphotography #nolaweddingphotographer C+C gettin all kissy kissy on their wedding day 💋🙌🏼♥️ shot by Falcon for @chellisemichaelphotography NOLA?

I'm talkin' 5 stars. + Has photographed lots o' weddings + Has a style of shooting that is aligned with our brand . Visit our website, please. We do not train on style, you just gotta have it, baby. Non-cheesy- non-traditional. + Knows how to shoot in harsh light, soft light, crap light, and no light. + Would never ever set up a First Look with a tapping on the shoulder. (this results in an automatic firing) + Likes to dance. + Hates uplighting. + Is confident and takes creative risks. + Doesn’t follow trends. + BONUS ROUND: Someone who hates marketing, admin, and editing.

Travel is normal for us, so we hope you like it and yes - Tulum. Full commitment to this is required. Ideally, we want someone who is interested in working alongside us for a good 3+ years. We put ALOT of work and heart into coaching, therefore, we want someone who is as committed as we are. ** CMP owns all copyrights to CMP wedding photos, meaning, you can’t use them for your own portfolio. Ever ( foreverer-ever-eva-evah?) YUP. This part typically turns those off that want to work with us just to build their portfolio and then peace out. Not our scene. —— Still into it? Okaaay then... MUSTS: 2 + full frame Canon or Nikon cameras, your own fancy lenses, and off camera flashes. A strong portfolio. Documentary and Portraits are absolutely necessary for consideration.
