Cheers to this happy couple whom I’ve know for a few years. I met the Bride Dena a few years back when she was a high school senior. Her and her family have played a big roll in renewing my excitement for photography each time they hire us for a session. This wedding was no different. Travis and Dena chose the Indian Island Winery as the ideal location to say their   “I do’s”. One of the highlights of the wedding was a balloon release prior to the reception beginning, this was the first time I had seen one done at a wedding, and it was very sweet. Here are a few of the other sweet memories from the day.

Sometimes you run into a couple of down to earth people you wish you had met sooner in your life, Enter Theresa and Carl, happily married this past month. From the moment I discovered the bride was wearing her mother’s wedding dress, I was smitten with this wedding. With each new little surprise I found myself literally jumping with glee….transformer cuff-links, the first daughter to walk down the aisle, an engraved ring, a groom waiting to see her bride at the alter, a father giving the sermon, a grandfather who gossiped to me all about his “glory days” as a photojournalist, I really…..didn’t want to the day to end. Ask the bride and groom, when I found them sneaking a bit of down time away from the guests, I rearranged their cuddle time and created a whole series of images in which this first one is a part of.  Here is a peak at what my Saturday away from my kids looks like….. Congrats Lonnquists, you amazed me, really, may you be truly blessed with every happiness.

What a happy day! It was the most beautiful day for a wedding and thanks to mother nature no one was too hot, or too cold, or too much in a hurry to change into something else. It was a Blessed day for Kelsie  and Chris and I was thankful to be part of it. This was my first wedding after having baby number two and it felt great to be back behind the camera. Thanks to great assistance from Kandi Poppler for her many talents and helping me at this event. Here are a few of the images from the day.

Congrats to our many brides to be who recently got engaged. We’ve been receiving many calls and questions about our 2011 & 2012 wedding collections. If you’ve also recently decided to tie the knot, I would love to know all about it. I am IN LOVE with LOVE, and can’t get enough of the joy that a wedding day celebration brings. Featured here is a wedding from the summer of 2010, and one of the most memorable days I’ve had the chance to photograph.  By the time I jumped in the van at the end of the night, I felt it hard to leave, as if I had become part of their families.  Thank You Shawnna and Jay for reminding me how much TRUE LOVE means.

Our wedding collections include a complimentary engagement session, couple can do in studio and on location. We decided to split this couples sessions to two days and two seasons. Here is a sample of the few images we created this month in studio. When the snow melts and the ball parks open up, we plan to do images on location with them as well. Portraits created on-site and somewhere meaningful to the couple (or family) makes my job as a photographer Inspiring. I can’t wait for spring!

Congrats to this happy couple, they have a summer 2011 wedding planned!
