Miranda and Joe's engagement

Miranda and Joe's engagement
Miranda booked me for her wedding ages ago (it seems) - so, it was great to see her again! Plus I got to meet Joe for the first time. What a fun couple! Joe is so funny! He had Miranda and I laughing A LOT! We headed over to Ault Park for their engagement photos. We had fun running around the park even though we couldn't go up to the Pavilion (there was a wedding in progress).
Here are a few images from our time together ...
Love the smile in this one!
Just ONE of many of Joe's antics!
a great quiet moment ...
You know me ... I had to shoot some of that beautiful hazy late evening sun!
since the pavilion was closed off, we headed over to this arbor for a couple of shots ...
Ummmm ... hello gorgeous blue eyes!!
and the ring shot ...
Miranda and Joe, I had a great time with you two! Looking forward to the wedding!

Unusual weather

So, I feel kind of like we are in that movie 'The Day After Tomorrow' with all of these weird weather patterns we've been getting ... that coupled with the earthquake we had a month or so ago. Good grief!
Today was almost completely a 'wash' since I don't turn my computer on or plug in any of my hard drives if there is lightning. And I think we can say that we have had our fair share of THAT the last two days. Our power was out for over 4 hrs today which REALLY stunk!!
Hopefully tomorrow will be better ...

Carrie and Jeremy's wedding

Carrie and Jeremy's wedding
Carrie and Jeremy got ready and had their reception at the French House. It was my first time shooting there and I have to say that I fell in love immediately. Everything about this place screams vintage :) I loved all of the vintage wallpaper and running through all of the different rooms. I had such a good time with Carrie and Jeremy at their engagement shoot that I knew the ceremony and reception would be fabulous!
Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day ...
First we have the handmade programs ...
Carrie 'unwrapping' the dress ...
and here it is in all of it's glory ...
the shoes ....
a shot of Carrie getting her makeup done ...
and getting the dress on!!!
Carrie looking absolutely gorgeous ...
Jeremy getting ready with his guys ...
the guys heading down for pictures ...
Carrie and Jeremy did not want to see each other or even 'talk' to each other before the ceremony ... but when I asked Carrie if she wanted to have a 'moment' alone with him (not talking or seeing, but rather just 'being') she loved the idea. So, they had this quiet moment before heading off to the church.
Carrie coming down the aisle ...
the church was FANTASTIC!!
Mr. and Mrs!!
Our dashing groom ...
a couple of portraits of the two of them ...
then it was off to the reception ...
cutting the cake ...
ah .. young love :)
their first dance ...
a dance for mother and son ...
father/daughter dance ...
the end of the evening ... a beautiful ceremony and an even more beautiful couple ...
SLIDESHOW

Carrie and Jeremy, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.

A big thank you to Karen for helping me out at this wedding! I always have a great time working with you!

May is gone

So another month has somehow slipped by and it felt like just yesterday that spring arrived. Amazing

I hope everyone was out enjoying the weather today because tomorrow it is back to work.
