Last week I had an engagement shoot with Billy and Kristen whose wedding I will be shooting next May!
We went up to Tanglewood on a foggy morning last week …
As always – check out the whole collection in the gallery!
Thanks again Billy & Kristen – can’t wait for your wedding – it will be here before you know it!
Aunt L came with me to Peggy’s wedding as my assistant – like I said before – Aunt L used to have Peggy in youth group so it was a great blessing for her to see the vows!
All the photos in this post are by Aunt L.
Thanks again Aunt L! It was a fun afternoon! Can’t wait to work Craig & Whitney’s wedding with you!
Sunday afternoon I had a few hours at a wedding to shoot. Peggy and I went to church together a LONG time ago when I was in middle school. We got in touch again through FACEBOOK and she wanted me to come to the wedding for a few hours to take “formal” portraits. My Aunt L was our youth group leader during that long ago time so she came along as my assistant!
The wedding was at Pinecroft Golf Course in Ridgebury – very close to my parents house!
Peggy and Ed had a BEAUTIFUL ceremony!
Peggy’s brother walked her down the aisle!
I love the look on Peggy’s face in that photo!
The bride’s son …
Peggy – thanks again for having us capture your day!
The lovely Jenna V was my assistant for the day – she went to high school with a TON of people in the wedding and at the wedding so it was cool for her to be there and have an “in” with everyone!
Thanks again Jenna – I love you dearly and I appreciate your help – you got some AMAZING shots!
All the photos in this post are by Jenna V!
Love that one!
Kidnapping the bride!
Thanks again Jenna!
Saturday brought a wedding in Troy with the lovely Jenna V!
The bride’s sister was in the Sechrist wedding (the photo that used to be my header) but she first heard of me through Jenna V! I have been so excited for this wedding! I knew quite a few people from the Sechrist wedding so it was nice to have a comfort level! I have a few more weddings with the same crowd of people coming up and am so excited about being familiar with everyone!
Jenna and I got to the church at 1 with the ceremony at 3 – taking most of the pictures we could before the ceremony. When we pulled up to the church there was a GIANT swarm of bees in a tree near where we wanted to shoot pictures – like nothing I have ever seen before.
We quietly avoided the bees and only had one incident where a bee got in the flower girl’s tulle of her dress.
What a BEAUTIFUL bride!
Melissa & Josh – thank you so much for having barden photography capture your day!
For the past three years I have written the names on the diplomas for NCA – I print off the names in a fancy font and then trace the name onto the diploma and write over the trace. Graduation was on Friday night and I finished the diplomas on Wednesday.
On Thursday the headmaster called me to see if I would do the photography for graduation since the usual photographer was out of town.
I took some quick candids at the end of the night.
I love this girlie! She is so sweet and caring and kind – I can’t wait to see what God has in store for her!
My former second shooter – ben v – a brother of the above mentioned sweetie!
*K* and *K* – this brother and sister hold a dear place in my heart!
The turkey won.
I had a wedding in Troy on Saturday and then a wedding in Ridgebury on Sunday so I figured it would make more sense to stay at my parents Saturday night. I left the wedding at about 7 on Saturday and headed “home”. About 2 miles from my parents house – a turkey FLEW out of the bushes and right into the grill of the Jeep. I saw a cloud of feathers and heard the THUMP.
WONDERFUL – I thought! C’mon life – give me a break somewhere …
I got to my parents house and noticed that the turkey did more damage than I thought a turkey could do!
The paint is all chipped off now – Jared was very sad!
I have an appt. to get an estimate tomorrow – when will it end?
My friend Mike Murray is an AMAZING artist!
I took a photo of Ella nearly two years ago that I adore – and wanted Mike to create a painting of the photo. We talked about it and he wanted to try a fabric canvas instead of a traditional painting. He was – and is – busy with Chiropractic school and didn’t have time to devote to the project immediately – I told him I didn’t have a deadline.
He dropped off his creation this weekend – about a year and a few months after we first talked – and it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT!
The photo of Ella on the L and the wonderful “painting” on the R.
I took it down to show Amy and Jim – and Ella had to get her picture with it!
*A* is on the L with “her Ella and *M* on the R with “her” Ella!
Thanks again Mike – it is AMAZING and completely blew past my expectations!
