From the Bride:

OK! WOW! SO I’ve been on the phone with my sister and we went over these photos over and over! YOU DELIVERED EVERYTHING I HAD HOPED FOR AND THEN SOME! You captured all the joy and fun and happiness and goofiness and seriousness and love that all these people have for one another, not just Glenn and I but the whole special group. It feels like this was how I wanted the pictures to turn out and you made it real! I cannot wait to see the rest, what a completely satisfying moment for GLenn and I!

I have to tell you how homemade this wedding was. I think you’ll enjoy it.  My husband to be did my hair, for his first time and got it perfectly. I honestly believe the deeper coloring made it photograph better and made my eyes pop bluer in the pics! It just worked! And you were right, the lighting was beautiful!

I called to order flowers a few months ago…the bill was going to be ridiculous…so I called Harris Teeter and asked if I could order flowers there and make my own. They let me! So…even though the other  florist places were way cool, since I had done flowers in a past job, I couldn’t overpay by a few thousand dollars….seriously, so I did them. They had dreamy flowers, really, for all the flowers and enuf leftover to fill the bathtub it cost less than the quotes I got for the bride bouquet alone. Truly!  So we pooled our abilities, (Glenn and I made the pies, ironically he was a pastry chef in another life and could have made a fabulous wedding cake, he did both his sister’s cakes, but we like pie better..) He tortured me with mock up wedding cakes to sample and pick from only to decide we liked fruit pies best! Glenn is a mad good cook, so he knew to ask the right questions for the caterers and they were FANTASTIC!

All in all it was a wedding with tons of personal touches throughout- and then adding the cast of characters these families unite, photo -op heaven.

Extremely satisfying, I’m just so pleased already I cannot tell you!  I think they are so fun and so well done- they speak volumes for your talent and should be shared. I feel like the emotional happiness was captured- and everything came together to really make them extra special- mother nature included! Just exceptional. – All My Best, Heidi

Can your Photographer "Show the Love"?

June 30th, 2009

I often describe that you have to “feel comfortable” with your photographer but what exactly does this mean? I believe that if you are having a wonderful time getting your photographs taken you can relax and show your true love for one another. This does not happen by having a stuffy photographer setting you up for “candid” poses and randomly running around shooting every which way. It takes a trained eye and trained personality to have you in the right place at the right moment while making you feel relaxed to get what I call the “show the love” photos. This photograph could have been “posed” looking at the camera or at each other-it wouldn’t give the look it has though. It has the look of love because Joey is actually pulling Josie towards him to whisper in her ear. I simply told them to stand in a place I knew would look hot with the sun flare in the background and teased him saying that “Why does he have to make us all stand on the beach taking these photos?” and that “It is all his idea”, of course it was not. Saying this relaxed him into grabbing her for this beautiful shot-you see the love in it and I strive for this with every couple. – Julie
