Eric and Rose

I've waited over a year for this wedding knowing it was going to be a very special event. I met with Rose and her parents and immediately felt comfortable and was hoping that I would be the wedding photographer for this family. Yeah I was!! Walking into the room where Rose was getting ready, the first thing I saw was her amazing wedding dress and it set the tone for the entire day.
Rose is one of the sweetest young ladies you will ever meet. I am not exaggerating. Very kind and polite. All that and natural beauty to go with it. Christy is responsible for the beautiful makeup on this special day.
I like this picture of Rose and her mom having a moment of down time together amongst the activity going on around them. Rose has a very wonderful family.
Eric and Rose had a minute alone together before the ceremony. While watching them you can sense the feeling of FINALLY our day is here.
The groomsmen all wore pink socks in honor of Rose.... Real men wear pink is what I say.
Let the party begin. Jeff with Ray the DJ had everyone dancing within minutes of the introduction and the dancing lasted all night long! One of the BEST receptions I have witnessed in a very long time. Way to rock it Jeff.
I had to post this picture of the men trying to catch the garter. They wanted it bad.Eric and Rose's wedding day didn't go quit as planned but you would never know it. At one point we had to ignore our timeline and just go with the flow, in which they did without letting anyone on to the stress of it. This was one special wedding for a very special couple. I found myself holding back tears so many times throughout the day, for so many events were so moving. Even right after the introduction of the couple at the reception Jeff had everyone on the dance floor, I mean everyone and it was so moving to watch. While at the reception I was chatting with Jeff about how wonderful this couple is and Jeff describe them perfectly by using the word "gracious". That is Eric and Rose a very gracious couple. Eric and Rose I absolutely loved being a part of your wedding and adore you both so much. I can not say enough wonderful things about the two of you and how you make people feel special when around you. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

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~

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
