Let’s face it. I’m pretty good at talking & most everyone wants to hear what I have to say. HA! Ok. That might be a little stretch of the truth…but yet I find myself back in the same place…without words. So I am going to let the photos do the talking with just a few interjections from me here & there…

Mary is an actress. Blake is a musician. Mary is my sister-in-law sister. Blake is my brother-in-law brother.

The energy between these two is magnetic. You don’t even have to be in their presence to feel it, you can see it.

Each invitation to the wedding was lovingly hand typed on Mary’s grandpas typewriter. Just wait till you see it…

And last but not least, the dress…worn by many an aunt & Mary’s Mother…awaiting its big day…

From the makeup & getting ready (nerves!) to the limo & the rose garden (fun!), from the lobby of the W Hotel to the dance (romance!), you couldn’t help but see the strong connection between Jenni & Jason all day long. So in love! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs!

& a big thanks to my second shooter Jen! Thank you for your talent & showing me some new tricks!

I love light. I love light that sneaks through half closed doors, light that bathes a bride & her bridesmaids getting ready, light that perfectly outlines a beautiful silhouette & light that dances & sparkles….I’m just about done editing the images from this beautifully bold & romantic November wedding…here’s just a quick sneak peek!

I knew this wedding was one that I was going to fall in love with photographing & I did! From the brides yellow shoes (her sister’s favorite color!) to their first look, from the affectionate & joyful ceremony to the Independent, from the cozy ambiance of their reception to the deserts handmade-with-love, this day was all about Alicia & Wade.

Alicia & Wade are the kind of people you meet & want to be around. They are smart, funny, honest & true to one another & to their friends & family. Throughout this entire process of meeting them, discussing the wedding & taking their engagement photos I honestly felt like we were old friends by the time the wedding came around!

Since the wedding Alicia & Wade have moved more than several states away from me. I am so happy for them & excited for all the adventures life is bringing to them! The atmosphere around them on their wedding day was electric & I am honored to have been a part of it. Congratulations!

It’s been so fun to photograph weddings this summer knowing that mine will be here soon! I just love seeing what other couples do & capturing what makes their wedding day special to them. For Gina & Brett their wedding day was about celebrating family, about remembering their loved ones who were there with them in spirit & about welcoming each others families into their lives. Their wedding day was about celebrating good friends, about letting loose, goofing off & being together. Their wedding day was simply perfect. Congratulations!
