Happy Dyngus Day!

Hope everyone had a great Easter and hope everyone enjoys their Dyngus Day!  

Our wedding season starts this weekend!  Sorry I don't have much to report lately.  The rainy weather is perfect for keeping me indoors as I try to complete all of my computer work.

Today's photo is of Jennifer and Andrew.  A wedding that's in my todo list to edit.  People with chemistry like this make my job very easy!

Face to Face

Allow me to introduce everyone to our new niece and goddaughter!  Thanks to Apple's Facetime we are able to see her from over 2,000 miles away.  She doesn't have much to say now but we look forward to many more talks in the future!

Shoes? What shoes?

I had a fun engagement shoot yesterday with Vanessa & Anthony.  I should warn my clients beforehand that when you shoot with me, do not buy new shoes!  

The first thing I made Vanessa & Anthony do was climb up and down a gigantic hill that was a little on the muddy side.  The photo below was one of the first shots of the day.  After the photo was taken Vanessa took her shoes off and started to walk barefoot.  I looked at Vanessa's shoes that were muddy and made a comment: "Oh boy, I hope those shoes aren't your favorite pair?"  And she replied: "No, they're brand new!"

Ohhh noooo.... I felt so bad.  She was a great sport about it.  She just kept smiling because she now has an excuse to go shopping for a new pair!  

For now on, if you're going to shoot with me, bring a pair of sneakers that you can slip on and off.  I tend to find locations that are off the beaten path, literally!

We were lucky that the rain held off until we were done shooting.  I got a lot of good photos from this shoot so I'm sure I will post more in the near future.  I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy 1 month!

Today is the one month anniversary of blogging and posting a new photo everyday.  Wedding season starts next week so month 2 will be a bigger milestone!  

I hope everyone is enjoying my daily blog posts.  Thank you all for visiting!  Be sure to share and tell your friends by clicking the link below each blog to share on Facebook & Twitter.  I am just getting warmed up and have a lot more to share!!

Todays photo(s) of the day are from one of my favorite highlights from the 2010 wedding season!  The photos are from my cousin Rachel's wedding when we went to her husbands golf course he used to work at.

The entire wedding party got golf carts.  Danielle and I were in the front leading the pack of 12 golf carts.  We were driving down a steep hill, I looked behind me to make sure everyone was following and noticed that a few golf carts decided to take an alternate route!

Wedding planning without the stress!

Happy Thursday everyone!  The weekend is almost here.  We've been looking over our wedding schedule and we have some really amazing weddings with some amazing people this season.  I can't wait to capture some magic this year!!

Today we met with a wedding planner for our own wedding.  I never thought we would go with one, but she will be planning our reception here in New York while we are getting married in California.  If you want weight off your shoulders and less stress then I highly recommend going with one!

Todays photo of the day is of two flower girls playing by the fountain during a cocktail hour.

All dolled up

Unfortunately our hectic schedule doesn't allow us to shoot many portrait sessions anymore.  Our season starts next week so we're trying to fit in as much as we can.  

This is Mia.  She's 6 months old and LOVED the camera!  Here she is sitting at Daddy's computer desk.

 

Here she is in a cute little dress and a hat to match.  A future model in the making!

Magical

Yesterday Danielle's brother and sister-in-law welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world!  

They live in California and we saw her live thanks to Apple's Facetime.  It felt like we were there in person and living in an Apple commercial.   It was really emotional to see something so small and precious from over 2,000 miles away.  Gotta love technology!

I cannot wait to meet my goddaughter in person!!

Photo of the day comes from a wedding I took a couple seasons ago.  I always loved this photo but never showed it off until now.  Enjoy.

E-Shoot and Post Bridal Dress Shoot Now Sold Separately!

How cool are these??  Yesterday I got a package from WPPI (click here to get the back story).  Inside the package were three of my awards.  This was my first photo competition I competed in so you'll have to excuse my excitement!  I can't wait to find somewhere to hang these beauties in my studio!

We now have new packages for those who can't book us for their wedding!  Whether if we are already booked for your date, you found out about us too late or whatever the case may be...  We now offer the Engagement Session and Post Bridal Dress Shoot separately!

Todays photo(s) of the day are of Jennifer on her "Post Bridal Dress Shoot".  What I love about this photo shoot is that it's done whenever and wherever you decide!  It's laid back and a lot of fun!  

- Going on vacation and want to bring me and your wedding dress along?  We have a package for that!

- Just get back from your honeymoon and want some more amazing photos?  We have a package for that!

News of News

We've been getting a lot of e-mails from students/people who want to intern with us.  We're thinking about taking them in.  We'll be responding to your e-mails soon, thank you for your patience.

We have more news coming out later this week for those of you who wanted me as your wedding photographer but I was already booked.  We will have alternative options for you soon!

Todays photo is fitting for a Monday.  It's Samantha getting ready in her old bedroom at her parents house.  Usually there are a handful of bridesmaids in the room.  It's often loud and crazy.  Samantha's bridesmaids stayed downstairs and I got to capture Samantha getting ready.  It was serene and beautiful.
