For the Couple on the Beach

Colleen and Jeff are hundreds of miles away in beautiful Hawaii right now and they still took the time to check my blog for their wedding photos! The little taste from right after the wedding posted last week only satisfied them for so long and they were requesting more.

So here you are guys! Thank you so much for including me as a part of your wedding day. It was such a joy and pleasure getting to know the two of you as a couple and if my instincts are right, you will hopefully be enjoying these while sitting on the beach drinking a mai tai.

ALOHA!


...speaking of mai tai's...yum. The couple's signature drink at the wedding.










Colleen had all of her bridesmaids sign the bottom of her shoes
(note that it is in blue sharpie). I love the idea and it made for a cool shot.





Matt from Say Pickles referred to this as the Reservior Dog shot.






This is one of my favorites from the day. It looks so vintage.


Gorgeous Venue...of course.


















I couldn't resist this shot when I looked up at the ceiling and saw the disco ball.

Okay. So I changed my mind. THIS is my favorite shot.

Congratulations Colleen and Jeff! May 10th, 2008

Colleen and Jeff - May 10th, 2008

Kristin and Andrew

Kristin and Andrew are the type of couple that love stories are written about...

I had the pleasure of meeting this disgustingly cute couple while working with Vanessa Photography this past Saturday. The groomsmen were handsome, the bridesmaids were beautiful, the venue was serene - and of course our bride and groom were not only gorgeous, but just so unbelievable excited to be marrying one another.

After the wedding as I was looking through my images, I noticed that in pretty much every single photo where they are looking at each other, they just have these huge goofy smiles on their faces - you could tell that they were just so in awe of one another and that they really could not wait to spend the rest of their lives together. It is just so cool when you get the opportunity to photography a couple like them and every once in a while a wedding comes along where I find myself almost tearing during parts of it - yup...this was one of those weddings :)


Beautiful Bride


...plus Handsome Groom

equals Gorgeous Couple


Their first kiss as husband and wife was so cute. He gave her a little dip - it was romantic.


Note the goofy in-love smile I was referring to earlier :)
He played nice with the cake. She did not. And even though she had just smeared frosting all over his face in front of 200 people, he still kissed her.

Sometimes the Weather Man isn't right...

This weekend was suppose to be a total washout (literally...rain everywhere) and instead, it was gorgeous on Saturday for Beckie and Andre's wedding and it was beautiful and sunny this morning for my engagement session up in Ipswich. As it was quite the hectic weekend, I am still sorting through a lot of photos, but I was able to grab one that stood out to me from the engagement session this morning. I just love the mood of this photo and thought I would at least give everyone an sampling from the weekend before I get around to uploading more photos.

So as always, enjoy! A LOT more the come soon....

Mexico

I finally made it around to editing a few favorites from my trip to Mexico. There was a lot of photos to go through, so this may be the first round of many. When I left, I told myself that I really wanted to try to capture bright, bold colors, whether that be in floral, the ocean, sky or architecture...looking through, I think I did a pretty good job! Mexico was great and I look forward to going back some day to explore the little towns and villages that I only briefly got a glimpse of while I was there...after all, this past vacation was all about relaxation.

Enjoy!
