Brides

I realized recently that I have several wonderful bridal sessions from last year that I haven't shared yet....

Hotch & Mel - The Engagement

Meet Hotch and Melissa.  They are getting married in just a couple weeks and I'm getting excited!  We had their engagement session recently where I was able to get to know the two of them a little.  It was a lot of fun (although I was told afterwards that Hotch fullfilled his quota of talking for about a week) and aren't these two photogenic!  And Melissa with those eyes!

 

Blake

Blake's family has been on here several times throughout the years, first with his mom's wedding and then his sister's senior portraits.  I guess in my head he's still been that little boy....but no more!  Just look at this heartbreaker!

Maddison (1 Year!)

 Look who's 1!  It seems like I just met this little girl but a whole year has passed since then.  This was an especially special session as it is the first one we've done with the whole family together outside the hospital.  You may remember that her brother Ethan (in the orange shirt) has been in the hospital waiting for a heart transplant.  Well, he now has a new heart and you would never know he had anything wrong with him.  Enjoy the Sneak Peak of this little cutie!

Kelsey

Kelsey's session was super-fun.  She brought some music with a custom playlist for our shoot and there was a lot of spinning going on!  

Just look at this great smile!

Nicole

I had the chance to photograph a couple senior sessions before the Easter weekend and the beautiful Nicole was one of them.  Isn't she stunning?!

James & Lourdes (the Wedding)

This past week, James and Lourdes got married and I have to say, this may be one of my favorite weddings that I've had the opportunity to photograph.  I felt like their wedding day was full of everything a wedding day should be full of - I don't think I've ever seen a more relaxed bride and groom who were so obviously in love with each other and who enjoyed their day more.  And the DETAILS!  Lourdes and James did so much work on their reception site and enlisted the help of so many of their friends who, from what I was told, worked really hard to make it beautiful and special....and it really was.  James is an arborist and he and his groomsmen cut up trees for pathways, tables, seating areas, mulch to cover the ground... (you get the picture).  One of Lourdes' bridesmaids is an artist and she created many (if not all) of the decorations.  Everyone pitched in to bring it all together.  Everywhere you looked it seemed that there was something that was personal to one of them.  Needless to say, i've gone a bit overboard on some of my detail shots, so bear with me!
