Crystal and David: the wedding

Crystal and David: the wedding
Crystal and David had the perfect weather for their fall wedding. I didn't photograph the 'getting ready', but I was there when they saw each other for the first time. Here are a few of my favorites from the day ...
First, Ben Barlage brought his vintage car. If any of you are looking to hire someone to drive you from place to place in style ... please let me know and I'll send over Ben's info. He is unbelieveably professional and, on top of that, a great guy.
Here is David seeing Crystal get out of the car ...


We had some time before the ceremony to do some photos of the couple ...


Love the shoes (and socks!) ...




David seeing his bride walk down the aisle ...


Yay! Married!!!
Some details from the reception ...


the seating cards were decorated (by Crystal) and each one hosted a dog from a rescue kennel that they made a doncation to help ...


the cake ...

David making his move ...
And Crystal paying him back!

after the dances, they played the newlywed game - it was funny!
the DJ would call out a question and the bride and groom had to hold up the shoe of the person they thought best represented the answer ... as you can see ... they didn't agree on all of them :) I think this might have been a question about who unloads the dishwasher when the dishes are clean ...
They had a photo booth set up for people to get photos done during the reception ... the DJ did the pictures for them, but I had to get one of the couple - too funny!
David and Crystal, you two are one of a kind and I enjoyed working with both of you so much. Congratulations and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!
Vendor Love:
Wedding location: Universalist Church

Caitlin: the senior session

Caitlin: the senior session

Caitlin's senior session was so much fun. She is an extremely talented artist and was up for anything. Here are a few of my favorite images from the session ...
'Are you sure you don't want to model?" I asked her. I mean ... seriously ...









Holy blue eyes!


When we were out of sunlight outside, we did a few shots in the studio to round out the session.






this last one is definitely a favorite!
Caitlin, it was so much fun working with you. Don't be surprised if I call on you to do some modeling :) Good luck finishing up your senior year and in your first year at art school!!!

Kim and JP: the engagement

Kim and JP: the engagement
Kim and JP's engagement session was at her parent's farm. I am always a huge fan of doing the engagement session somewhere that has some personal meaning to the couple (when possible). Their farm was the perfect backdrop and Kim and JP felt right at home. We met up early in the morning to take advantage of some nice morning light. Here are a few of my favorites from their session ...
So, I loved the idea of having the horses head in this picture ...
and it was a great idea ... right up until he bit JP on the shoulder!
Kim and JP, I can't wait for the wedding! Congratulations!!!
