Daniel and Lydia I July 25, 200

{Sit back, grab a cup of coffee and put your feet up. This is a long one... ;) }

The weather was perfectly fitted for a lazy summer day, but the day was anything but lazy. From the early morning hours Lydia's friends and family worked to make her ceremony the black, cream and red vision she'd dreamed of for years. And it was well worth the work.

When Lydia and her father came though the old oak doors of the church, the stained glass windows illuminated the beaming bride. The congregation stood, holding candles as she came down the aisle to the wedding march played by a gorgeous and rare 18th century Organ.
Classic, yes. But traditional? No. Just sheer perfection.

Sneak peek...

Lydia and Daniel got married two weeks ago in Portland and since I know shes dying to see a picture.. here's a sneak peek from their day after session...

Wedding : Tiffany & Alex

*This wedding I was once again second shooting for the fabulous Shyla. ( who ps is nominated for Blu girl of the year pretty please vote for her!)*

Tiffany and Alex met when they were camp counselors one summer. It wasn't long before the attraction was evident for all to notice. As Tiffany's maid of honor said in her speech "we knew Alex was special from the moment we met him, but we knew he was for keeps when he would sit through 27 pictures to get one 'good' one."

Tiffany's love for pictures extended into her choice of photographers. She knew she had to have the best and thats why she searched until she found the perfect one. She took her choice to her dad telling him that pictures were going to last and she just had to have Shyla. Little did she know that her Dad had actually been Shyla's mentor in college. Small small world we live in.





This is during the 27 pictures speech...



After the dinner and dancing had started we stole the couple away to a made-in-heaven field that was caked with golden light... yum. {I truly do have a love affair with dusk... }

The Newlyweds I June 7, 2008

He spent fifteen hours making her a scrapbook for her birthday. Pictures of their past adorned the pages~ the outreach they did in Mexico. The road trip to Washington state. The murder mystery dinner theater. Their first kiss. He made sure to make a page dedicated to her birthday too, symbolized the present. And in the very back was a envelope all folded up. When Kim opened it she saw a picture of a ring, and "future?" scrawled next to it. Appropriately, Tom had bought her a three diamond ring. And the rest they say, is history...

I got to document one of the most important days of their present last Saturday. It was a beautiful wedding and I'm so lucky to have been apart of it. Thank you Tom and Kim for allowing me such a honor.



I just adore this picture! Something about it just makes me smile..

Brandon & Jessie I May 17, 2008

They wed on the lawn overlooking the lake at five in the evening. Brandon stood flanked by his groomsmen, nervously awaiting his bride. On the balconies of the resort, overlooking the ceremony lawn people watched for her entry. The music started and Jessie apeared, glorious to behold. She was beaming from head to toe, excited to marry her love. So excited in fact that when the minister started with "Jessie do you take-" she interjected an emphatic "I do!" before he had even finished. The friends and family attending laughed along with the couple at her eagerness and Brandon beamed at his bride, delighted to be wanted so much.

The flowers were beautiful. The Bride and Groom were all smiles. The lake glistened. The bridal party was full of disko divas who stayed on the dance floor all night long. And the favors were boxes of gourmet chocolate. Does it get any better then this?

Brandon and Jessie, thank you for allowing me to be apart of your celebration. And thank you for letting me steal more then one box of chocolate for the ride home! ;) Have a blast in costa rica! ~A

First comes love ...

They were high school sweethearts. And although parents will tell you first loves don't last, Rachel and Steve are living proof that they can, and do last. Their wedding was a celebration of their love and the long awaited joining of their lives.

Steve and Rachel~ Thank you so much for letting me be apart of your special day! I hope your honeymoon was amazing and that you did get to see monkeys in the trees!





My favorite part of a wedding~ without a doubt, is when the couple is introduced as Mr. and Mrs. ~ the bride is always beaming from head to toe!

Ed and Amber

Amber is another one of those amazing people I got to meet and become friends with because of work. We shared many boring happy hour shifts together and always found something to talk about. One thing we both had in common was the fact that both our ex boyfriends were extreamly alike, we were still very much in love with them, and still held on to the hope that someday... someday. Three years after meeting each other I married the man that I was still in love with. And last sunday, surrounded by family and friends, Amber married hers. What can you say but .. love conquers all.




















Ed watching his soon to be wife come down the aisle ... and his brother watching Eds reaction..
