Posted by on Aug 26, 2010 in Blog, Featured, For Photographers, Portrait | Comments Off There is something to be said for the well posed, beautifully choreographed wedding photo.  The light is shining ever so softly over the couple’s shoulders as they kiss and all seems right in the world.  The wedding party perfectly walks in unison and cheers as the newly married couple kisses.  There is an element of control that I like… or if I’m more...

Beautiful Sunrise

Posted by on Aug 22, 2010 in From Jenn | Comments Off On one hand I have the lovely blessing of a puppy who doesn’t get the concept of weekends. But on the other hand, I get to get up and see lovely sunrises like the one this morning. The sun was rising over the fog, and it was just beautiful. Happy Sunday – make it a great...

What I loved about their wedding is that their personality shined through in every detail. From the bold pink and black combinations, to the chucks on the guy's feet, their wedding was perfectly them. I also loved getting to know their friends and family - this couple is dearly loved by many, and it was great to hear all of the well wishes and stories about the couple.

Not necessarily because the decorations were perfect (which they were), or the bride was stunning (because believe me she was!), but because of the rich, beautiful relationships they share with their friends and family. To be a part of their celebration was truly an honor! I always say I have the best...

I loved the old Victorian House where the girls got ready, the many, many beautiful photo locations, and of course the awesome old chair we found on the porch (more on that later!). Or maybe it wasn’t the...
