Catherine & Matthew

You know your guests are having a good time when they're rolling up their pants during the reception (to their knees!).

No, seriously.

I've worked with the DJ (Bert) at another wedding and he's simply fantastic-- one of the best DJ's I've worked with.  He knows how to get the crowd up and dancing!

Catherine and Matthew are two very sweet people, and I have to say that Matt was a good sport during the formals portion of the wedding. Believe it or not, I get quite a few people who, well... probably prefer not looking at the camera for photos.  And that's the beauty of being creative... in this case, I think we captured some nice shots ;-)  That's one thing I love about weddings...

You do things on the spot, all depending on each couple's personality.
And then you capture that moment.

Here are some of their moments...

Ahh...... to be a kid again....

One day, while riding in the car, my son was pointing to the playground.. so of course I pulled over.  Lucky for me I had my cam too--- and took a few shots :-)

I admit, as a child, I was never a big fan of the "swing".  LOL.. I remember getting motion sickness from swinging too much!  So my son definitely didn't inherit THIS from me.. he LOVES the swing and can't get enough!!




LOL.. this one makes me laugh.

I LUV RAD... Ohhh....

I am in LOVE!!

First, I have to thank fellow photographer Eric for introducing me to TOTALLY RAD, which contains a series of Actions that I can execute in Photoshop.  For future weddings, I will be totally using these actions to accent a photos in each wedding-it provides a *kick* to photos-- I will have to post some images I've used the actions with... I'm just so excited right now!!! WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!  

(It's kinda like Homer Simpson and Donuts... mmmm... donuts..... that's the type of obsession I have with TOTALLY RAD right now... mmmmm.... donuts..... now I'm hungry...... )

Amy & Beau

It was such a windy day today... but Amy and Beau were so great despite the cold!!  Poor Amy wore her mittens today and put her hood on (it was THAT chilly).

It's truly amazing how you can take advantage of the weather and the atmosphere (and the couple) that you've been given... I love working with adults who are big kids at heart!! :-)

Since I'm changing systems and software, minimal editing has been done to these photos.. for now ;-)
Here are just a few samples of our day...
