Goodbye 2009

I feel like I always tell you that I love my clients...but I really do. I just put together a grid of all of my 2009 weddings and I was smiling extra wide:) I can't believe that another season has passed me by and I feel so lucky to have shared in all of the weddings that I did this season. I shot 22 weddings in 2009 and this year we are only taking 15 wedding commissions—and we are BOOKED! I am honestly humbled by all of you that invite me to share in your most special day and who always recommend me to your friends and family—really, I am truly honored. Thank you to all of my amazing 2009 clients (portrait ones too), you made this another amazing year for me:)

Happy Holidays!

I am just wishing all of you an amazing holiday and a happy new year! The studio will be closed from today, December 24th, through January 3rd. I will return all phone calls after January 3rd and will have some email correspondence but it may be slow over the holiday week. I hope you all find time to relax over the holiday and rejuvenate for next year with your family and friends around you—I know I will:)

Here is the front of my holiday card that I sent out to my clients this week (okay, okay, I'm a little last minute). All of these photos were taken in photobooths at our 2009 weddings. I really do hope all of your days are merry and bright:)

Lynn & Rob :: Married

Lynn and Rob were my first snowy wedding that I have ever shot and I loved it! We got the snow a bit late, but I had to go out and have a little bit of fun with it and Lynn and Rob were totally game to endure the freezing cold for a minute—wait, have I mentioned lately that I love my clients?!?! Anyway, these two were so amazing and the weather didn't seem to phase them at all.

The day started off at the Charles Hotel. Lynn had this beautiful bouquet and that brooch was her grandmother's...I thought it was such a nice touch:)


Um...have I mentioned before that I love a first look? If you are having a late fall or winter wedding you will be facing dark conditions after the ceremony for your portrait hour and you probably were not imagining all of your formals shot inside with a flash. So all of my late fall/winter brides choose to do a first look (even outside—bless you Lynn for braving the cold in your strapless gown) and about half of my clients opt for a first look just to get all of the formals out of the way so that they can enjoy the day with their family, friends, and each other. I just love the anticipation in these two shots below:)


And I looooove the reactions!


See what I mean?!?!


Yay Charles Hotel for putting on the lights early for us...you rock!


Angela's shot...lourrrvvve it:)


Just a favorite walking image when we headed back in from the cold.


I loved the light that was pouring into Noir.





I love this laugh pic...definitely one of my favorites of the day.


I just thought the light here was really neat and the hanging beads were great too.


Through the beads.


I really liked this series that Angela took...and the backlighting is just perfect.

This was also Angela's idea and the way the light is coming in with all that color in the background is amazing!


Just another one for good measure:)


One more quick stop outside.


Um...yeah...this couple can rock some shoe shots:)


This group was great...especially when I asked them to walk in the freezing cold rain. It was totally worth it though for this rockin' shot!


Amazing ring shot by Angela.


One last snow shot. I love the flare here and how it is soft on them and focused on the snow...lourrvvve it!



Lynn and Rob, thanks for inviting us to be a part of your day...I loved that you two didn't mind the weather and even incorporated it into your images. I hope your honeymoon was awesome!
