Reena and Michael: the wedding

Reena and Michael: the wedding

I am FINALLY getting around to posting a few pictures from Reena and Michael's wedding from September. Yikes! Is it really November??

Reena and Michael are two people who lead their lives by their hearts. They truly are two of the most beautiful people I have ever met: inside and out.

Here is Reena getting her Brideface on. Gotta love Nancy. She is a genius with the makeup!

Michael preparing for the big day ...

Reena is absolutely stunning.

After the Indian wedding ceremony ... everyone in the wedding party changed into their western attire for the reception ... here are the men enjoying a cold beverage

How adorable are these bridesmaid dresses? Seriously ... I want one.

The new Mr. and Mrs being introduced.

And just in case there were any questions ... Michael is quite the dancer :)

Michael and Reena, CONGRATULATIONS to you both! I wish you a lifetime of happiness. Next time I am up in Columbus, we'll go out for some Jeni's!!!

Catherine and Jeremy: the engagement

Catherine and Jeremy: the engagement

Catherine and Jeremy are two people who you meet and think ... those two are PERFECT for each other. I met with them about photographing their wedding and was SOLD. I even wished the wedding was sooner! We had a fantastic session and I think I adore them even more.

Catherine said to me ... 'wow. I'm really nervous. How do all of your couple's make it look so easy?' ... I told her ... 'people are going to look at your pictures and say the same thing' - they really just enjoyed being with each other and that is what it is all about. Here are a few of my favorites ...

BTW - the fabulously talented, Nancy, from Brideface did Catherine's makeup. Wowza!

I had a great time photographing these two ... we had such a beautiful night and the trees were all in their 'prime' for color. Not to mention that these two are super photogenic. So, there were a ton of pictures that I loved, but here are just a few ...

Lucas: the one year shoot

Lucas: one year

I couldn't believe how much he had grown since our last session!!! He is becoming such a handsome little man and definitely one of my favorites to shoot! He is always in such a good mood and LOVES the camera. We had a great session (as usual with Lucas) ... here are a few of my favorites ...

I love how he carries his monkey like it is a 'fresh kill' ...

He kept reaching out to grab the camera ... and I love this shot! He's such a joy to be around that I was even smiling as I was wiping his little fingerprints off the lens when I got home that evening. So cute.

snuggled up with mom ...

Dana and Alan wanted to do their engagement session near their home and I loved the idea. I headed over on a gorgeous evening and we had such fun wandering the streets and finding fun new places to shoot. Here are a couple of my favorites from our session ...

Dana and Alan, I can't wait for the wedding!!!!
