Tiffany & Rick's engagement session

Ok, these guys are endless fun.


I think this one is my favorite from the session ~






This awning was a fun find. Tiffany & Rick's theme is black and white stripes!

Ok, maybe this one is my favorite...


You have to give credit to a girl who'll scale a tree in 4" heels. :D
Rick made getting down a wee bit easier...






The site of their first date!

Letterpress invitations from Studio on Fire ~ sans script

I'm a huge fan of Studio on Fire. I have to admit, it was the studio's name that caught my eye...then I scrolled through pages and pages of stunning work. They continuously post their new work on their Beast Pieces blog and I'm wowed every time. Today I'm especially in love with these minimalist invitations. Definitely check out their blog and take a look at the mix-tape invites, too.

More to come, but here's a glimpse ~

jill & wes' wedding

Today I went to a blogging bootcamp workshop. I whined about how I take pictures so I don't have to describe things, memories, emotions, and the like. And how I'm a terrible blogger - I'll sit on a post out of the frustration that comes with trying to find the right words. It was then pointed out to me that I'm a photographer and I shouldn't feel the need to tell you how fantastic my couples' weddings are...I am in the position to just show you. So that's what I'm going to try to do from now on. Perhaps a few comments here and a couple of adjectives there, but my job is to tell wedding stories through images...and I should stick to it!

So FINALLY onto Jill and Wes' wedding!




I'm totally going to brag about these next two shots. They were taken in the dark. No lights. Windowless church basement cafeteria. And they are officially two of my favorite portraits. I'm going to yank these out next time I'm asked if I can work in less than ideal lighting situations. ;) But I really do love these "nothing but the girl" shots...no busy distracting backgrounds, just a lovely bride.




Love these little moments during ceremonies.

Wes really wanted to ring the church bell when the ceremony was over. He was pretty happy!



Their wedding party took the term "party bus" rather seriously. :)







These guys = awesome.









One of the great things about Jill and Wes' wedding was that they were able to attend their cocktail hour. It was wonderful to see them relaxing and being able to chat with everyone casually. We had plenty of time to get fun photos and they didn't miss a moment of their day. And while I hope I've shown you, I still have to say what a fantastic day it was.

sending some love out to evelyn <3

I actually yelled "woohoo" when I got Dan's email saying he and his fiancée, Evelyn, decided to hire Christa to shoot their wedding. 'Coz they freakin' rock and while I won't be there, I still get to see their wedding photos.

I always tell our clients when I meet with them that we are not fast. We do not have a quick turn around time...what we produce takes time and a great deal of attention. I want them to know this ahead of time so they can avoid biting their nails and checking their in-boxes every day for the "all done!" email. However....I get the feeling it will be Christa & Kate receiving those "are we there yet? are we there yet?" emails all this season...from ME. The girls are photographing for so many fabulous couples and I just know they're going to want to slap me for pestering them to see if they have the images ready for me yet. I'll be dying to see them.

Anyway, Eve had some lovely things to say about us on her blog...thanks for making me blush, Eve. :P

new website is live!

Well, one thing that wasn't stalled by the fire: the new website! It's officially up and running. Yeay!

Please take a look; lots of new images and some old gold. Enjoy!
