Suzie & Bill | Longwood Gardens E-Session

Posted in Engagements

I had the recent pleasure of hanging out with Suzie and Bill at Longwood Gardens for their engagement session. We had a lot of fun! I know I say that about all my couples, but I can’t help it if my clients just ROCK! LOL It would have been extremely difficult NOT to have fun photographing these two – we could hardly keep a straight face the whole time! Wait until you see all the funny faces!

I was sitting at my desk, eating Wheat Thins and trying to edit these pictures, but I had to stop munchin cuz I was so afraid of choking from the laughter!! Every time I thought I was done laughing, I found another picture to laugh about. We really had a lot of fun!

Bill actually works with my husband – God help him. (j/k honey!) No, but seriously, I have to give a shout-out to my hubby, Marc, for getting on Bill’s case to call me about his wedding. He’s turning out to be one of my best advocates! (As if he had a choice – Bwwahahahaha! Ok – joking again. :) Once Bill & Suzie came to see me, we just clicked right away! They’re a fantastic couple and it is such a pleasure ( I know I sound like a broken record!) to have them as clients. :)

Ok, ok…on to the pictures!

There was this cool waterfall/fountain thingie in one of the atriums.

I think this one might be my fav. Not sure yet, but Suzie just
knew how to work it, girl. Damn.

I love the symmetry here.


A little role reversal, anyone? I told you these two were funny!

If you only knew how many shots it took to get this one…
let’s just say it resulted in a lot of funny faces!

She only LOOKS this innocent. Mmmhmm.

Love love love her highlights. Gorgeous.

Awww, they DO play nice! ;)
This is contestant #2 for my favorite. :)


…and here is contestant #3…I can’t make up my mind! :)

These guys are too funny!
Feroche.


I told you she only LOOKS innocent!! This girl gets what she wants – watch out!
LOL (Just so you know – all she wanted was a kiss hehe)


A little collage of silliness, just for fun. :)

Thanks for hangin out with me, guys and giving me so many laughs. :) Can’t wait for the wedding!

Alicia & Clay | 06.07.08 Maryland Wedding

Posted in Weddings

Alicia & Clay are awesome people. Can I just say that? Clay is a firefighter for Cecilton Volunteer Fire Company and Alicia is an EMT there as well. So when they came to me to shoot their wedding, I was immediately aware of how special they both were and I felt so honored to be the one to preserve their wedding day in pictures. :)

The wedding was held in the quaint Mt. Olivet Church, in Galena, MD and the reception was held at the Cecilton Volunteer Fire Banquet Hall. Appropriate, no? :) It was a blistering HOT and humid day, but we all made it through! We shot the bridal party pictures down at the same marina where they chose to have their engagement session. I have to say we were all quite tempted to take a dip in the water, with the extreme heat!! LOL

Enough chatter……on to the pictures!

The Details:

Alicia picked out a great color combination for spring – pink and yellow. The colors were so light and airy, it was almost easy to forget how crazy hot it was. Almost. ;)



Getting Ready:

Our sweet little flowergirl was VERY camera shy.



Ain’t she a knockout?! Work it girl! :)
The Ceremony:

Alicia’s Pop-pop walked her down the aisle.

She was biting her lip not to cry! Too sweet!



The Portraits:
These guys were such troopers to get as many photos as we did in
the horrible heat. The heat was brutal but they really hung in there!

Alicia’s dress had a lot of toule so we had to have a little fun with it. :)

My 2nd shooter for the day, Kalen, came up with this idea. Great job, Kalen!





The Reception:

This was Alicia & Clay’s Guestbook that we made from their engagement
photos – it was a big hit! People were talking about it all night.
You can view the entire design here.

Remember our shy little flowergirl? I think she
warmed up to me a little by the end of the night. :)

Alicia and her brother, Dominick, shared a very emotional and special dance together.

Truth be told, I usually do a good job at not crying at weddings, but when I saw the mascara running down her face, I lost it! I had to really work hard to regain my composure and keep shooting, but part of me thinks that the photos came out even better because I did get emotional. What do you think?

A little Chicken Dance action? Anybody?
And of course one more fun party shot!

Thanks so much guys for including me in your special day and for being
such troopers during the portraits in the extreme heat!

Featured on Wedding Chicks!

Posted in Studio News

There is this really awesome wedding planning blog out there, brides, in case you haven’t stumbled on it yet and it’s called Wedding Chicks! It’s headed up by Amy & Jocey, of Amy Squires Photography and Joceybella Invites, respectively. These 2 ladies are the cream of the crop as far as knowing their wedding stuff!

Anyway, they’re doing a feature called 50 States, 50 venues and Greenville Country Club was featured for Delaware. What a fabulous venue (and one of my favorite to work!) to represent our small state! I’m proud to say that one of Amy & Casey’s wedding images was used to showcase the amazing GCC in their feature. :) Check it out! Be sure to keep watching their blog for the rest of the 50 states and of course amazing wedding details and planning advice as well.

Thanks Amy & Jocey for the feature and the mention! I’m honored that you used one of my images to represent such an awesome venue and our humble little state. :)
