Meet Brittney Love and Shana Perry, the
couple behind Love & Perry Photography.

What’s your favorite wedding memory?

We married in April of 2012 at Shana’s parents home in Boca Grande, FL.  At that time, same sex marriage was not legal in the state.  We did all of the festivities in Florida and made it legal when we got back home to Massachusetts.  There was a section of our ceremony that we turned to all of our guests and family and asked if they would vow their support and love for our union.  When we turned to them and our officiant asked the question, the crowd erupted in cheers and claps for us. The water works immediately followed from both of us as we truly have the best friends and family on the planet!

What’s the best advice you give to a couple about their wedding day?

The best advice we would give to our couples on their wedding day is to remember to stop for a minute and take it all in!  Couples plan for this day for a year, maybe more and it is important to enjoy it.  Don’t get caught up in the small stuff.  Hire professionals that you can trust and that are capable of directing the day for you. Before you know it, it’s all over and the memories of the day are what you have to hold onto for a lifetime.

As a vendor, what’s your favorite moment when working with a couple?

We often hear from our couples that their favorite moment of the day is when we take them out for some quiet moments and photos during the craziness that is a wedding day.  This moment is our favorite as well.  It is a time that we get to bond and make jokes with our couples and watch the love they have for one another.  It is such a special time for them.  A moment in time that they get to walk away from the noise, music and attention and just enjoy being a married couple.  Love it!

What do you love most about your work?

The aspect we love most about our work is the amazing people we have met in this industry.  From couples to families to vendors, we have made unbelievable connections and such great friendships through this line of work. Being able to make people happy through photographs and maintain lasting friendships is the best thing ever!

At 9am each day, you are...

Shana: Multi tasking…  Answering emails, cooking breakfast, dealing with our animals and getting ready for what the day has in store for us.

Brittney: Trolling Facebook and watching Shana do all of her 9am jobs :)

One piece of advice you would give to your 18 year old self?

Shana: If you think you know everything already…you really know nothing.  Take the time to learn and listen, you will go far.

Brittney: You’ll be just fine…

Current Netflix addiction?
