One of the things I like to talk to brides and grooms about is how to have better images on your wedding day.  There are several things to remember: *While walking down the isle, hold your bouquet waist level.  You want your bouquet waist level in most of your images.   This tip is for the bride as well as the brides maids. *When you have your first kiss, hold the kiss for 3 or 4 seconds to ensure I have several opportunities to capture that kiss.  Also, make sure you are touching each other.  If hands are straight to your side, it does not look right in the image.  You loose the warmth of that first kiss.  Hold hands or hold each other.  Groom can touch brides face, just make sure you both make a connection with your hands on each other when you kiss. *During your images of just the two of you, the same applies, hug, snuggle, touch each others faces.  I tend to shoot a lot of candid shots so they look more natural of the two of you interacting. *Be natural, even when I pose you, I will ask you to stand how you normally […]

I had the pleasure of working with Mat & Kat to capture some truly beautiful images of Kat’s baby bump.  When she told me she wanted to do this style of session, I was extremely excited.  I don’t get a chance to capture such intimate maternity images very often!  Here are some of my favorite from the session beginning with just the two of them and then getting into more of a boudoir style maternity shoot with Kat.  Enjoy! Let me explain this silly image.  Matt wanted to mess with his co-workers and asked me if I could put his head on Kat’s body to make him look pregnant so this is the result.  I think it’s pretty funny!

Nicole & Stephen met on Match.com; Stephen had actually forgotten to cancel his subscription the month Nicole signed up.  Stephen winked at Nicole, Nicole winked back at him, and then Stephen sent Nicole a message.  They proceeded to talk for two weeks before Nicole finally agreed to an in person date at Chilis on August 20th, 2008.  Stephen & Nicole only dated for 4 months before Stephen proposed. They both just knew it was right. He proposed on Dec 15, 2008. Stephen recreated their 1st date, taking Nicole back to Chilis, where they sat in the same booth they did on their first date.  Then Stephen & Nicole went to the fountains at the Stonecrest shopping center where they had talked for 2 hours the night of their first date. Stephen made Nicole sit in the same place (even though it was wet from rain), and placed Nicole’s purse between them like she had on the first date.  Next thing Nicole knew, Stephen is telling her how much he loved her, and how two days before when Stephen saw Nicole at the finish line of his first half marathon, he knew she was the one for him. Stephen had Nicole […]
