Finishing Touches

liesl August 22nd, 2008

What makes a wedding personal? Speeches is easily one of the top answers. Seth had nearly the whole room in tears as he gave a sincere word of gratitude to Rachel, I was so thrilled to catch these expressions.

I love this, he just could NOT stop looking at her, it really did make me teary-eyed! Luckily I could still see to click the shutter!

What other touches make a wedding unique?

Familiar emotions

Noni. It just doesn’t get any cuter than Noni.

Noni is the beloved Grandmother, and I LOVE grandparents. After the above shot I took one more of her laughing. She was apologizing for noticing me, because she knew I was a “photojournalist.” She was trying to act natural for me, way too cute!

And to end the family emotions part of the story, every father’s dream. The moment before the longest walk of his life!

I love how close people let me get to them at such a time. It really is an honor. They were trying so hard not to cry, and it was expressed through big big smiles! It is so precious.

Story Time.

After all the packing, loading and unpacking that goes with moving, I am positively thrilled to be back to telling stories. All these memories and stories have been sitting on the back burner of my mind for so long! Thank goodness they did not burn to a crisp! Well, at least, I hope not . . .

Seth & Rachel are two precious souls, I will always remember their sweet spirits. I think you will see what I mean . . .

Story time starts at the salon, as it does for many brides!

And it continues with good friends!

The result? Well, stunning!

More story time tomorrow!

The face of God smiles on me

Neil August 2nd, 2008

“Hey Neil - were the pictures good?”

“um, aaah, well….the face of God smiled on me”

I can’t really explain it any other way…in case you were wondering what I was doing earlier tonight.

We had to tolerate thunderstorm downpours - but we got to receive the blessings of the August sunset. If you’re planning an August wedding in Upstate New York be sure to plan some time for sunset portraits.
