Emily & Matt engagement

I'm sure you are all wondering what the hold up is on posts! I apologize, I'm sorting some things out and working on some new things, getting business stuff together, and starting out some new adventures with another local photographer. Here are some of my favorite images from a recent engagement shoot I tagged along on with Amelia, check out her blog for more from the day.

 

Emily and Matt were keen on some urban chic, so our first stop was a set of train tracks downtown. Where a few minutes into the shoot an engine went through hauling army tanks for what seemed like miles. That didn't last long.

Emily's killer dress is from the Sak's outlet. You didn't know there was a saks outlet? We didn't either. Thanks for the tip. I don't think it can make me tall & tan like Emily, though.

Meet Cooper, Emily & Matt's dog. Emily heard that dogs "will do anything for cheese" so she brought some string cheese along on the shoot. Cooper does like cheese, but I don't think he grasped the "do anything" part. He was super sweet and fun, though, and they make a really cute fam.

We also made it out to the Continental Bakery next to Chez Lulu where I learned a lot about bread (real french bread can only be made with four ingredients, for example, water, flour, yeast, and salt. thus, it's fat free!). If you haven't been to either I highly recommend it. The Chocolate Brioche is delicious, and at Chez Lulu you can't go wrong with the chevre salad or the walnut, goat cheese, and pear sandwich. Less important that how gorgeous they both look here, in my favorite shots of the day.

Heather & Myles Part II

As promised, there is a random delirium inspired bunny. By the way, for photographers, removing red-eye on bunnies is super easy. And they look more cuddly that way. Anyway, Heather & Myles' wedding was a blast and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it!

Heather & Myles, Part 1

Last Saturday Amelia and I were able to spend the whole day with a fun, spunky, beautiful bride, Heather, and her now husband, Myles! We started the morning hanging out with the girls while they had their hair done at Heather's parents gorgeous home. I loved so much about this wedding. Heather's bouquet was stunning, and her dress was so cute and different! She had her naturally curly hair put up to the side with real flowers added in.







The couple wanted to see each other before the ceremony, so we headed to a lakeside gazebo nearby to capture the moment. It was lovely! I really think I love weddings both ways, it's such a fun and beautiful thing to be able to capture up close, but of course when couples opt not to see each other you get to capture the sweet nervousness before the walk down the aisle. Garrett and I haven't decided what we're doing yet, but our day(s) aren't quite normal anyway.




Coming up soon, the ceremony and reception! Possibly including the bunny I terrified in my sleep induced giddyness toward the end of the night. If you're lucky.

Giant Post: Meghan and Byron

I can't really describe how connected I felt to this wedding. Amelia was friends with the family and the father of the bride is my puppy's vet! So it was a big family event, really. Towards the end you can see my new BFF Nina with her boyfriend (brother of the bride), Drew (look for a garter around his hand). You really couldn't ask for a more fun group of people, or a sweeter couple getting married. I wish them the most happiness in their lives together and I know I will always LOVE this wedding and the images.


Yeah, the guys got hot shaves. It was such a cool thing to be there for and photograph. And it makes me want to get pampered.




Such a fun reception! The food and the cakes were amazing, and we stayed even after the bride and groom left. It really was that fun.
