Adeline & Grace Wins the Brides Choice Award!

Tiffany — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:27:45 +0000

A few weeks back I received a sweet email from a client:

“I wanted to send you an email because my brother got married last week and it was so much fun! I thought of you though because the photographer they used really made us appreciate your work. He was very nice and took great pictures (and he actually did a little dancing to “Baby Got Back” at one point) but he was not nearly as organized as you were. We really appreciate how committed you were to make sure that all of the moments at our wedding were captured and every time I look at any of our pictures, I can’t help but smile!!! You were absolutely wonderful to work with and we can’t wait to have another reason to have you photograph us again! Happy New Year and all the best to you and your family!”

I always try to go above and beyond for my clients and emails like this make me smile. With that being said I’m happy to announce we’ve won the bride’s choice award again!

Style Me Pretty Feature!!!

Erica — Sun, 22 May 2011 20:15:35 +0000

We are so excited to be featured on Style Me Pretty’s Little Black book today.
This shoot was something I have wanted to do for a long time. I have been , like many inspired by music.. I always thought it would be a fantastic idea to conceptually photograph a wedding or a event inspired form the visual ideas and feelings that certain songs evoke. Although” Bye Bye Miss American Pie”, by: Don McClean is actually a very sad song, the visual images of an simpler time in American history is really what I envisioned. The shoot came to life thanks to all the wonderful vendors that creatively expanded on this idea and made even better. I always say it takes a team.

Please go to the link below to see more and leave a comment . We would love to hear you thoughts!
