Stella Photography : Grand Opening!

Wow! We must say are thrilled, yet humbled by the turnout at our Grand Opening last week. To be surrounded by the support and love of our family, friends and clients was very special to both of us! A huge thank you to the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce for welcoming us as members and for organizing the ribbon cutting. We really appreciate all you’ve done to promote the growth of our business.

We must especially thank the vendors we used for the party. Hey There Cupcake Bakeshop brought the house down, right along with Prairie Thunder Baking Company. The food was fantastic!

Additionally, we must thank our good client-turned-friend Quannah Harris for EVERYTHING she helped with the week of our opening….it wouldn’t have been such a success without you! We love you, Quannah!

Michele Lesseg, bartender extraordinaire, you are amazing. We love you more than words and cannot thank you enough for taking care of us on our big day! You are now pretty close to being our number #1 friend! :)

To our husbands, we love you so much! Thanks for being so handy… and for lifting all the heavy stuff.

To everyone else….we are so blessed to do what we do with the amazing people in our lives….THANK YOU!!

A special thanks to our friend Aaron Snow for snapping these moments!
