While we were waiting....

Here is Cara! This was taken at the JW Marriott Resort and Spa in Las Vegas!

This was late after the reception had ended, close to midnight. Neal, myself and majority of the wedding party were waiting to catch a shuttle to the hotel on the strip. While we were waiting, Cara was dancing around the hotel in the hallway. The hallways were very long with some nice lighting from above. We had packed up all of our gear but Neal put together one of the cameras and used the natural lighting in the hallway. He directed Cara to stay close to the wall and had her walk like she was on the catwalk back and forth! Her bridesmaids were telling her to "strut her stuff!" and Cara was having a great time with it. This was one of the images he took! It looks like it was planned, but it was spur of the moment and happened within the matter of 30 seconds. Great job strutting your stuff Cara! :-)

MAGAZINE GROOM

Here is Justin's solo from his wedding! 

Doesn't he look so good! While I stayed with the ladies, Neal snuck over to the see the guys. He found a spot with great lighting for Justin. Neal had Justin pose in his three piece suit. This pose definitely matched his look!

We know weddings are mostly about the bride! But we always need to show the groom some love!

PEEKING THROUGH THE LEAVES

I love this image from Erica and Justin's engagement session!

They also had their shoot in the Village of Lewiston. But this looks completely different from the recent images you saw from Kelsey and Jarrett. We love shooting through trees or leaves in the foreground. The yellow leaves are so pretty paired with the colors of their outfits!

HAPPY WEDDING DAY KELSEY & JARRET!

Kelsey and Jarret are getting married today! They are getting married at Salvatore's Garden Place Hotel.

One last image from their engagement session in the Village of Lewiston. I love when people bring a few props for a save the date. This was super cute. I love the black and gold. We hung it on a telephone pole and had Kelsey and Jarrett in background out of focus. I really love this!

Love & Laughter

Kelsey and Jarrett are getting married tomorrow!

We go back to their engagement session in the Village of Lewiston. We took a walk around the area and just stopped along the way. We came across these beautiful green vines and had to stop. Kelsey and Jarrett had such a great connection between one another. They were always laughing and smiling. 

We can't wait until tomorrow to capture their very special day!

Chasing the light at Knox Farm!

We are taking you back to Tiffany and Colin's engagement session at Knox Farm State Park!

The sun was setting and we were in a hurry to capture it. On the way, the light was pouring in between the barns. We had to stop. Tiffany and Colin faced each other and they were glowing from the sun light. I love their shadows! I love the vibrant red color of the barn, mixed with the dark colors of the clouds. Then there is the blue from the sky peeking through. Everything works so well together and it turned out beautiful!

RAINY ENGAGMENT SESSION

Erica and Justin's engagement session started out beautiful. There was no chance of rain in the forecast and it was pretty mild out. After an outfit change down by the Lewiston waterfront, the wind picked up, and it started to rain. We actually had a few minutes of snow at one point and it was right about the time this photo was taken!

We all made a decision to try and finish the shoot. Well, I am sure glad we did! This image is so cool. We only had Erica and Justin out in the rain for a few seconds and then they took cover. The only building with a roof was the Silo Restaurant. It did the job. Once Neal and I had lighting ready to go, we called them to run out. Erica and Justin had a lot of fun with it too! 

I love how the rain/snow mix is all lit up and Erica and Justin have big smiles and laughs. Thank you Erica and Justin for toughing out the unexpected bad weather!

Avanti Mansion Wedding by Candlelight 

WOW!! That's all I can say right now about this image! Christina and Nick had their wedding at the Avanti Mansion.

They had an intimate candlelight ceremony at Avanti Mansion. It was beautiful! The room was dark with a nice glow from only the candles that surrounded the entire room. This photo was taken during the reception. We only had a small window of time to capture photos outside. Neal knew he wanted to get this image so he let the crowd and staff clear the room. We asked the staff at Avanti if they could relight the candles on the mantle for the image and they did so without any questions asked. That's why we love to work there, the staff members are incredibly helpful. We wanted this photo to be a very intimate and romantic style of image. We had Nick take Christina in for an intimate kiss but we told him not go all the way. I love the way Christina has her hand on Nick's arm. Everything worked out amazing. They both look stunning! This image is beautiful in color but to make it feel more timeless and dramatic Neal turned to Black and White.

CAKE SMASH ROUND 2

Olivia is one! 

We had back to back cake smashes recently at Neal Urban Studio. The second was just as great as the first! Olivia was wonderful. She was such a happy baby. All we needed to do was sing some Mickey Mouse songs and she was all smiles. When they arrived we already had the set up ready. I had no idea what color mom was planning on for Olivia's tutu! I matched my colors to how I wanted them to look. Well, we hit it right on the nose. Olivia came in with the same scheme. It was perfect!

Olivia was not so sure about the cake at first. With a little help from mom, she dug right in. In the end, she had more cake on her feet than on her hands. She was covered. This was an image before the entire destruction. She just looks too cute for words!

FIRST BIRTHDAY CAKE SMASH!

Jenna is 1!!!

This was such a fun cake smash session in Neal Urban Studio! Jenna was so cute and full of smiles. She was a little unsure at first about the cake. Once she had a little taste, it was all over. She dug right in! She was smiling and giggling the whole time. Jenna was clapping her hands and waving them all around. Cake was flying everywhere. It was awesome! And just look at those baby blues! What a doll!
