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…

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!

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!

The white dress your mother wore on her wedding day. What is beautiful? Distressed & loved flooring. What is beautiful? A loving, protective glance & a firm hold. What is beautiful? Empty space. What is beautiful? A broken window. What is beautiful? The touch of his hand in yours. What is beautiful? A puppy in a tux. What is beautiful? Sunshine & a smile. What is beautiful? A kiss & embrace on a bridge. What is beautiful? Alicia & Wade. Congratulations on your engagement! I simply can’t wait to photograph this wedding in September!

I couldn’t be more happy for them!
