After my last post featuring many beautiful winter scenes I feel cold. Time for a quick spring warm up!

Oh and if you haven’t found us on Facebook here’s how to join our fan page!

Hope to see you there!

I’m really excited about these images… so much so that my mind goes a little blank and I think…nobody really wants to hear me blather on about the weather etc etc right? But I DO need to mention the weather – it will give you some perspective on how amazing James and Chelsea are (not to mention the crew I had with me!) I had been watching the weather and hearing highs of -6 C and sunny and thinking…ok if I shoot fast we should make it…-6 isn’t bad. Well the morning of this particular session dawned neither clear nor bright – but the hoar frost on the trees that morning was spectacular. As if God had painted each tree with frosty snowy icing! The downside of this was that it was cold…freaking cold…and nowhere near -6. I think we hit -15 C that morning. Added to this my very talented brother in law Andrew Pohl was filming this particular shoot for another project we are working on together (more of that to come). So I of course did not want to wear my big puffy winter jacket… and of course James and Chelsea didn’t want to spend the whole time in boots and hats and mitts and parkas… so we decided to see how far we could get before we were frozen.

My friends….frozen came and left us a several times in this shoot…more often than not numb took over…which made it not so bad. James and Chelsea lasted 2.5 hours! (can you hear me slow clapping them?) This resulted in some seriously awesome images. So thank you to them for sticking it out and for Brian (who again took some of my favorite shots from the day) and Andrew who stuck it out with us as well! Enjoy the sneak peek!

Chelsea…you are gorgeous…look at those eyes!!!

James isn’t so bad either! I think he looks like Matt Damon…



Then we headed to the park…

Thanks again you guys! I can’t wait to do this again in a few more months!

Had this sweet little 6 month old in my studio a couple weeks ago. And by sweet – I mean absolutely charming! Full of smiles he was probably one of the easiest sessions I’ve had in a while!

This blog post is long long long overdue – and it’s taken me even longer because I had trouble deciding even which images to include – we have so many that I’m thrilled with!

First we met up at Heather’s house for the traditional figuring out of the dress – I mean getting dressed…

Meanwhile Brian caught up with Kevin and two of the groomsmen. We were missing Heather’s brother at this point, but I still love this shot Brian took.

Flowers and Rings…they make my day! (one of my favorite parts of shooting a wedding is shooting all the detail shots. I love everything about them – the details are part of what makes your wedding day so unique for every couple!)

Heather and Kevin were married in an absolutely beautiful ceremony at Central Baptist Church. I have to put a plug in here for their lighting. If you have the chance to use stage lighting…DO! It’s wonderful to work with and many of our images were taken without the use of a flash.

After the ceremony we went off to do some formals! Here’s one of ALL the groomsmen (and adorable ring bearers – who did amazing I might add).

And on to the Rutherford House! I had never been here before Kevin and Heather took me. What an amazing house. So many great places to shoot!

And on to the reception! A number of birthdays were being celebrated…including Heather’s! (Brian says that Kevin is a smart man to have arranged that! He only has to remember one day!)

To get the lovely couple to kiss a representative(s) had to come up and sing a song or recite a poem. I loved this performance!

And the result…

Thanks Kevin and Heather for letting us be a part of your day with you.
