Billy and Christine

I just gotta say it: I dig Christine. We've been friends for a while now and I was so pumped when she asked me to shoot her wedding!  A few years back, Christine and I were on the same mission to trip to Spain, where both of us had some amazing revelations.  Christine, remember when we were on the subway in Atocha and we both started laughing way too loud because I told you I thought I might like Jon Hessel?  And what about that time that the one girl told me I missed out on a lot of midget scholarships for college because I was just a few inches too tall?  Yeah, she was a peach.  

Christine and Billy were SO easy to photograph... the way they love each other makes my job easy :).  Here are some of my favorites from their engagement shoot.

Nichole + Chip

I met Chip and Nichole at a surprise party for one of our mutual friends at a winery in Augusta last year, and I was elated when they asked me to shoot their wedding! Nicole did such a fantastic job with the details of her event, which was held at one of my very favorite places, the Sheldon Concert Hall.  

Warning: lots of pics contained in this post.  Call me indecisive, but I just couldn't narrow down my favorites. 


Cool cake shot by my ever-talented Jon.

The venue had such amazing light and detail.

Final preparation for the lovely Nichole.

Jon grabbed this shot while the girls were getting ready.  We LOVE the Sheldon.  And check out that sunflare.  Yeah, you've learned well, grasshopper :).

Adorable flower girl.

One of the cool things about this wedding was that they had a bluegrass band play for part of the ceremony.  And, as coincidence would have it, this was the very band we heard at the winery the day I met Chip and Nichole!  I snagged this shot while the band was rehearsing.

Chip's parents were so happy :). I grabbed a ton of shots of them exchanging smiles while the bride and groom said their vows.

Perfect window for a silhouette.

After it got dark, we headed just down the street to shoot in front of the Fox.  And it was our lucky day because the road in front of the theatre, which is usually a very busy street, was shut down temporarily because of an event that was held earlier that day.  So we literally had the whole street to ourselves. 
Photobucket

Have you ever seen Grand St. this quiet?  We sure did get there at a perfect time! Just a few minutes after we finished shooting, the street was opened back up.

First dance

And I had to include one of Jon, shot with my new fisheye lens.  He's talented and a looker.  I am one lucky chica :).

Marvelous Monday #23 ::

I'm sick today.  

Watering eyes.  
Burning throat.  
General feeling of exaggerated ickiness.  
Can't really take any medicines because I'm prego. 

Nothing marvelous about that.

Sneak Peak :: Mike and Emily Day After Session

Mike and Emily were married a few weeks ago, and because they had a limited amount of time for photos, we scheduled a Day After Session for some more casual photos.  We met up with them the day after their ceremony at the Chase in the Central West End for some photos. Here are some of my faves...

Isn't Emily Beautiful?

We had to stop by Design Within Reach, a CWE furniture with some awesome pieces I need to have right now.  Like this lamp.  dang.  how cool is that.

And I'll take one of those hanging light thingys too.  Might as well make it two while we're at it.

Mike and Emily first met at Starbucks.  So, it was only fitting that we stopped by the cwe starbucks for an Americano :). 
Photobucket

And then, Emily jumped in the fountain.  It was a pretty docile situation....

... And then Emily got pretty brave.
Photobucket

Total awesomeness.
