Meet Meg & Dan.

Yep, that is them.  That is what they act like, really.  So what if they are doctors!!  I had just taken a “normal” shot of them and said, “Wow! I think I just got a normal picture of the two of you!”

And right away they both strike a pose.  They really do think alike!

My favorite shot of Neil’s!

And this one was taken with a home made lens.  I love to play with it!

At the end of the night I took Meg and Dan up to their suite at the Inn on Broadway.  Their tenderness toward each other is so beautiful to observe!

You two were so amazing to hang out with for a day.  I hope I get to spend more time with you in the future!

All the best,

Silly Ceremonies, Touching Toasts and Delightful Dances.

Yes, I’m sorry. I have considered joining the group Alliteration Addicts Annonymous, but it seemed like an oxy moron, so I decided against it. So you must forgive me.

If you have been following the story, Meg and Dan were married on May 17, 2008 at The Inn on Broaday in Rochester, New York. Although they are both ineffably brilliant, it is the kindness of their spirits that stands out the most!

Dan seemed to be laughing the entire day!

However, things get quite serious when he must insist on a REAL diamond for Meg! (this image, shot by Neil, who totally rocks by the way)

The ring pop had to go. A suitable replacement was found! (fantastic ring shot by the one and only Neil).

An Eye For Detail

Have you an eye for detail?

This image, by the way, was totally unpromted by me. In fact I was warned by Dan & Meg, and I quote, “Dan is a whore and happy to be shot anywhere, anytime. His best man is also a whore, actually he’s a bigger whore and goofier.” I was happy to know upfront that I was dealing with people who LOVE to be photographed!

Anyway, the point is! Yes I have a point! Shoot what is happening! Photograph what you see.

It could be a detail.

Or a gentle moment.

Either way, it all helps to complete the story. And on a day like this, there is much to be remembered!

Preparing for Perfection.

What makes a wedding day perfect? Beauty? Love? There is no answer, it differs for everyone.

For Meg & Dan the answer is each other. They were so completely free to be themselves in their relationship!

Southern Love & Southern Style!

liesl May 18th, 2008

We thought you might like to know, we are migrating south! Love is a destination, and we plan to take it with us! You may have noticed some blog posts lately from the North Carolina area, that is where we are headed! Still available for travel world wide, but we will call Charlotte, NC our new home by the end of the summer.

So I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding in Pinehurst, NC at the Fair Barn on May 3! Kristen & Mark were excellent hosts, as was their family!

Kristen smiles at the ring bearer before the official hand-off!
