Lindsay and Justin’s Engagement Photos
I’ve been waiting for this session for a long time. And so have Lindsay and Justin. It’s pretty rare for a bride and groom to request snowy, cold weather. But the real challenge with this shoot was finding a day that was 1. available 2. no one was sick or injured 3. it wasn’t raining 4. snow was on the ground That day was Wednesday. We got together for their engagement photos at Mellon Park–and it was even sunny for a bit. Lindsay and Justin met at Mad Mex, and it is still one of their favorite spots (even after she worked there). Lindsay and Justin are adorable and hilarious.…

A Whole Decade
A whole decade (over 1/3 of my life) with one lucky guy. That’s right. 10 years ago today, I started dating Ryan. It started with a few casual after-class dates–the kind that aren’t really dates–when you are hungry after class and have to eat somewhere that accepts your campus meal plan.

Later, I learned that he was hiding (perhaps from fear of rejection?), but I found him and never let go. I’m so happy to be married to my best friend…

Kayt and Harry are engaged!
I just realized that my first engagement shoot of the year didn’t happen until February. Well again, a great way to start out the year with Kayt and Harry for their engagement shoot.

They share a great sense of humor and a love of their dog, “Bacon.” And they’re really cute too! Whoops for me in the mirror. This is one of Kayt’s favorite rooms in the house. The walls in this room are painted blue. And…

Tina and John’s Winter White Wedding at The Priory
Shooting Tina and John’s wedding was a great way to start my year. A beautiful couple, a fun wedding party, and some great locations really started things off right. I started my day with Tina, her bridesmaids, and her family to photograph some very important preparations. Though I don’t like to interfere too much with what is going on during the preparations, the lighting in this room was so great. I asked Tina if she would mind putting her dress on in this room instead of a bedroom with one shaded window–as a reward, she gets some nice lighting! Please note that the wedding date was January 29, 2011 in…
