Lindsey + Michael’s Wedding

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Fall weddings can be so beautiful, and Lindsey and Michael’s was especially so.   I took their engagement photos in July, and what a long time ago that already seems!  It was great getting to know them both.  Congratulations you two!

Carrie + Sean’s Wedding

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Carrie and Sean were married two weeks ago, and every part of the wedding was beautiful!  A few years ago I photographed Carrie’s sister Christina’s wedding to Brad, and it was an honor to photograph another wedding in the family. It is fabulous to see couples in love, and it was visible throughout the day in the way Carrie and Sean looked at each other.

Sarah + Ryan’s Wedding

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Sarah and Ryan had a beautiful wedding with a dramatic fall theme a few weeks ago at the Renaissance Hotel.  I hadn’t met them until the day of their wedding, but I already knew I would like them…  and what nice people they are!  Here they are in front of the backdrop where they were married:

Sitara + Mark’s Wedding

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Two weekends ago I photographed Sitara and Mark’s wedding.  Everything about the wedding was personal to them–from the ceremony in her parents’ backyard to the vows and blending of traditions.  It was a beautiful and colorful day, fitting for such a lovely couple.
