~Ryan and Jessica~

Finally I am posting this wedding which took place on Friday November 27, in Sedona. Ryan and Jessica were referred to me by Heather and Albert (shot their wedding in May). I had only met them briefly at Heather and Albert's wedding, Jessica and Ryan live in Chicago. Even though I have not spent any time with this couple as soon as I showed up to shoot the wedding I felt like they were old friends. I was with the girls while they were getting ready and we were to meet up with the guys at a specific location for the bride and grooms first sighting (we did all the pictures before the ceremony). I had so much fun with Jessica and her gals (sisters!). While heading to the location for the first sighting we went the wrong way, no worries we just kept chatting like BFF's do. It was great girl time. Once we found the location we set Ryan up to wait for Jessica. They were so happy to see each other! So in love. You could see the emotion in their face's. The day was filled with lots of smiles and laughs. I had the best time with this couple! I was also very lucky to have Heather with me as a second shooter, she did a fantastic job and caught some great moments as well.


This is the first time Ryan and Jessica saw each other on their wedding day.

I love this image Heather too of Jessica by herself...
This last image Heather also took. Fantastic.

~George and Catherine~

Image
I met Catherine just about a month before her wedding and truly liked her instantly. When we met she came alone and was so calm about her wedding and what she was looking for. I was pleased she booked me and looked forward to working with her and meeting George. When I got to Catherine's house she was again very calm and taking her time getting ready. That is when I met George for the first time, he to was very calm taking his time getting ready. The wedding was very simple, two people in love getting married. Once the I do's were said the rest of the afternoon looked like the next few images. Giddy, smile's, more smiles of joy. I loved watching them and would get caught up in the moment. Had to remind myself to take pictures:-) Catherine looked so beautiful, very classy and George so handsome, movie star couple status I would say. Again, more smiles, giggles and glances. It was so special to watch, I mean to take pictures of.;-) To look over the pictures one would not noti

Ahh Stella

Image
When you get an email from the sister of a past pride asking if you could take pictures of her 6 month old baby girl, you say sure! When she ask you if you can meet at her sister-in-laws house to take the picture because she has a "fun house" you reply yes. Then you show up and see this beautiful baby girl and this incredibly decorated shabby chic house, you burst with excitement inside.. That is just what happened. Elaine emailed me to see if I could take pictures of Stella and asked if we could meet at her sister-in-laws house. Well, you can see for yourself that Stella is beautiful and the house was a photographer's dream. Elaine had all her own idea's for Miss Stella. We had so much fun and Stella was a trooper to say the least. I loved how Stella would smile at her mommy over and over again. She is truly a happy baby. This shoot inspired me to convert some of my office into a studio. I called my friend Nancy after the shoot and was blabbing away on how much fun
