I just had a cancellation and have an opening for September 17th. So if you haven’t booked your wedding photographer and you’re getting married on September 17th, send me and email!

On Saturday my brother-in-law got married. I was a bit worried with the weather not cooperating since Thursday and Friday were not nice, but Saturday turned out to be pretty descent weather for a March Wedding! We were even able to go outside (and run back in to get warmed up).  Jesse and Laura are a little bit country, so there were splashes here and there to show that. Three of my children were in the wedding (and I have to say, they did extremely well walking and behaving!) so I made sure to include a couple of them as well. Now that the wedding stress is over, they can get on and enjoy married life!

Finishing up Elaine’s photos, and thought I’d post a couple of her and her girls.  We did one serious photo (like they did in the old in days) just for the fun of it. Can you imagine if this is how you had to do your wedding photos so that the camera could capture the image properly? yikes!

Luckily, we can now have fun and not worry about not smiling and staying still!

Last Saturday was the last wedding of the season for me, and it was a great one! I am going to do a bit of a post overload since it’s my last wedding (the guys probably deserve a post of their own for all the jumping around and funny posing they were doing, but I’m just gonna do it all at once) so hope you don’t mind!

It was a beautiful day, no rain, a bit of a breeze, and Elaine was stunningly beautiful inside and out. You could tell from the very beginning of the day that family meant so much to both the grooms side and brides side, which always sets a great mood for the day. Elaine is probably the most organized bride I have ever dealt with. She had me go to take photos of the guys at 11 first, and honestly, I was so surprised when I walked in and they were all standing waiting and ready. They even undressed for me so that I could get photos of them “getting read”! Then we headed outside and although it took them a bit to get warmed up (except for Brock and Pete and Jeff) they were game for whatever.

Then when I arrived at Elaine’s house, all of the girls were ready, in their dresses and Elaine was ready to jump into hers as soon as I said so…wow, that hardly ever happens for me! But it was great cause we were able to spend so much time on photos, and not be rushed at all! And I have to say, I got a chuckle when I saw the programs and the favors, because normally it is the grooms name first, but not for this wedding, it was Elaine and Matt’s Wedding I think Matt is just so easy going, and Elaine is a born leader, so they fit very well together.

I have to admit, when I was packing it up and leaving at 11pm, I was tired, and my feet hurt. But it was so much fun watching everyone dance and see how close the families were. Congrats Elaine and Matt, and thanks for letting me be part of your day!

It started 15 years ago on the steps of the West Highschool…David and Rosie met in highschool, and have now become husband and wife. The rain held off for the ceremony, and then it poured, but by the time we got into town for photos, it held off for a little bit. Rosie looked beautiful and David was as handsome as ever. Congrats you two!

Jason and Linda had a nice evening wedding.  They kept their wedding party small and intimate and as well as the ceremony. I had a lot of fun with the two of them, very easy going and happy to do whatever (like Linda climbing a fence with her dress on). Because the wedding was in the evening, we did not have a lot of light after the ceremony, so we ended up going to the studio to finish up some more photos (first time doing that with a bride and groom!). Here are a few…

I had so much fun yesterday photographing Nick and Sam. Everyone was up for whatever, and excited for photos, Nick especially.  It was so nice to watch the love between these two. Nick was so doting on Sam all day long, making sure her feet didn’t hurt too much And Sam, you looked absolutely stunning. I learned quickly that if there was a problem, just blame Jeff! And I have to say Jeff, that one where you guys were jumping….it’s a good thing I didn’t notice you only stepped off the ledge! Here’s a sneak peak…

I can’t believe a year has already gone by since my good friend Sarah got married to Rich! And soon they will be welcoming their little girl into the world, how exciting. Just wanted to say congrats you two!

Yesterday was Erik and Anna’s wedding, and the rain held off for us! It was a beautiful day, a beautiful bride, and beautiful ceremony. Anna and Erik both have these big bright smiles, and you could really see the love they have for each other. And she photographs amazingly, she was liking the ‘attitude’ poses and was getting very good at them. Here’s a sneak peak…

And just on a side note. I’d like to send my condolences to the family. The morning of Anna’s wedding, her Grandma, Lillian Bickle passed away. She had been suffering from cancer and decided she would go up to Heaven where she could watch her granddaughter get married from the best seat around. You will be greatly missed by many Lil, and Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary today. You lived a full and blessed life.
