Look, no one ever accused me of being an intense wedding blogger.  But I have a plan. Mwuahahaha! *insert sneaky laugh*

So, here goes.  This is only the second wedding I’ve posted on this blog in 2010.  And the first one I’ve EVER posted in this format. I guess we’ll see how it goes over!

OH MY. How I love this couple. Katie, I’m so grateful to have gained a wonderful friend in you, and Jonathan, I’m blessed to know you. The two of you have such incredible families and friends and a truly solid foundation to enter into your marriage upon.  I loved the energy, emotion and excitement of your wedding day.  Thank you for allowing me into your life.  My hope is that all of the images from your wedding reflect the two of you and nothing else, and have captured what this day was really about.  All of my love and best wishes to you both!

Side note: I LOVE the mix of film and digital in this wedding album.  The film images were shot on Fuji 160s and 400H, and Kodak BW400CN.

BECAUSE IT’S TIME FOR A SNEAK PEEK - MEET KATIE & JONATHAN

asp_kj_3

Super hot images to come. (It just seems like a good time for a sneak).

So, I got together with Katie and Jonathan recently to shoot their engagement session. I loved this session because they were just so FUN. At the end of the day, I want my clients to just have beautiful images and a great time…and these two really had fun with each other. It didn’t hurt that Katie might have a double life where she secretly models for a living. I would talk about a concept, and before I got halfway through, she’d say, “Like this?” and BLAM. It was ridiculous. She also laughed pretty much the entire time - so I guess we’re just very like-minded. (Picture me pointing back and forth a lot and going, “we’re like this!”).

I also really appreciated that Katie and Jonathan let me do whatever I wanted. They were up for anything - and I was bound and determined to push myself. We ended up with some pretty cool concepts…I’m not gonna lie. We also did a few things that were just absurd, but that’s part of the artistic experience, right? It’s going to be a lot of fun to share this session when its completed, because I can see a clearer direction of where I’m going as an artist. This has been a slam packed year, and it’s so rewarding to get to the end, look back, and see where your eye and vision are going.

Also, I shot a newborn yesterday - something I almost never do. He peed on a cake-platter. I’ll post some awesomeness from that soon - so there’s another sneak!
