It was a fabulous day on Friday, although it was a bit chilly.
Amy and AJ seemed to have been warmed by love to spend so much time outside {troopers indeed} as they said their vows and we took their pictures. They were surrounded by loving family and friends, and their adorable daughters.
First Look
Their Love is undeniable…
What a gorgeous couple! And, yes, Amy’s eyes are really that blue!
Amy and AJ’s little girls are heart breakers–so adorable.
Time for “I Do’s”
Amy’s gorgeous Mom [now I see where Amy got her looks and her gorgeous eyes 
].
This is one of my absolute favorite images from the day-so fun!
And some glam details…
Amy and AJ, I wish you a long life of happiness together! May your love grow stronger every day.

Right before leaving Washington to move to Ohio I was commissioned to photograph a wedding of Naomi and Courtland which happened to fall on the same day as my Mom’s birthday AND my nephew’s wedding. I was glad to shoot a wedding, but I was also bummed to miss such important family events. I was fortunate, however, to have made it to my new niece’s bridal shower.
Meet Rachel…
And now some of my other family members…
{We all were given necklaces and were not supposed to say the bride’s name to keep them, or, if we caught someone else saying her name we would get heir necklaces; the person with most necklaces got a prize. I, and most of us, lost ours to my ever watchful niece Kristina. I don’t know how, but she got to collect most of ours 
}
The kids were ADORABLE running in and out of the house. They were irresistible, actually, especially these two…
My great-niece’s toothless mouth is a photographer’s dream
I wish I was there for the wedding as well, as I heard that the couple was beautiful 
. However, I wish them all happiness, loyalty and faithfulness in the world. May their marriage be sweet as honey, and the bond between them strong as steel.

I am studying for a HUGE test that will take in a couple of days but I could not wait any longer to post a preview from the most recent wedding of Naomi and Courtland. Everything about them is colorful–their personalities, Naomi’s makeup, Courtland’s eyes and their celebration.
Naomi contacted me via e-mail a few months back and we did not actually get to meet until the day of their wedding. What a pleasant surprise it was to see her for the first time: big brown eyes, luscious red lips and long black eye lashes gently contoured her soft face. Vibrant, exuberant and totally fun… all of that to match Courtland’s seemingly quite persona and big blue eyes… So, you see, with all this, most images simply had to be in color. there is no way I would want to conceal all this beauty.
Here is the sneak peak, until after my huge fitness exam. Enjoy!
Naomi and Court, thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a huge day!

She was only 12 years old when she met him in an on-line game room. By 14 she told him that she would marry him. He thought she was nuts, as did everyone around her. A few years later they met in person… and it indeed was love at… first game It was written somewhere, some long time ago, that Regina would wed Phil, and they will live happily ever after.
When I first met Regina over a year ago she was already glowing with anticipation. There was so much to do, so much to plan, so much to dream about. Her eyes were bursting with happiness. I knew that she was in love.
On August 21st, Regina’s prophecy came true–she and Phil walked down the isle as Mr. and Mrs! I was fortunate to have captured their story.
