I Adore Jason and Shea

Usually I post engagement pictures several months before the wedding. For Shea and Jason we were just happy to get the pictures done in time for the wedding. We had to reschedule several time's due to rain. I thought it would be fun to post some engagement pictures before the wedding pictures, kind of a before and after.
Wouldn't you agree that they are a beautiful couple. I just adore them. I met with Shea back in October, when Shea was interviewing me for the position of the wedding photographer I could tell that she was not only looking for a photographer that could take a good image but it was important to her that she was comfortable with them as well. Shea and Jason's wedding was at the magnificent Wrigley Mansion. Everything was perfect with the help of Simply Elegant Event and Floral Design. Shea and Jason had a butterfly theme for their wedding. Right after Jason and Shea kissed during the ceremony the guest released live butterfly's. There were little tin boxes on the tables that read "LOVE is like a butterfly, it goes where it pleases and it pleases where it goes". Beautiful. I want to say thanks to Tracy for shooting with me again. It always makes for a better day. Shea has impeccable taste, not only is her wedding dress fab, look at her shoes! Love them. Jason and Shea were both so calm and relaxed all day. I love this image of John (Shea's dad) walking her down to meet Jason for the ceremony.

These next two images are so sweet of Shea hugging her dad and then Jason. Shea and her dad have a very special relationship. I quote John in saying "she is my best friend" Jason and Shea are just so happy to be married.
Jason and Shea are not only a beautiful couple, they are intelligent and kind hearted and can they dance. They showed off some moves at the reception. You know blogging has become such important tool for my business and I wish I was better at expressing my feelings with words. At times like this when I would like to mention how Jason and Shea are one of those couples that I feel lucky to have met, but have a hard time expressing it through blogging. They are just very special and you know it when you are around them. Maybe I should take a writing class? I once again just feel blessed by the people I encounter such as Mr and Mrs Creed!

First of all, where oh where did you take the engagement photos? Love 'em! It was neat to see your point of view of the wedding, each artist having a different vision of the day. I know that they will love all the images if the rest look as great as the ones you posted on the blog!

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

~George and Catherine~

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
