Rick and Michelle had a good mix of tradition and modern events the day of their wedding. One of my favorite things was Michelle's insight to arrange the "first look" before the ceremony. A beautiful traditional church followed by tons of dancing. Look out for her trash the dress shots.
Jerad and Sanja Bloom come from different countries with unique stories of major achievements. Both have a diverse family and group of friends present for their wedding. She loves to take photos, so the bar was raised for the day of her wedding. We shared their engagement, her bridals, a rehearsal dinner and wedding, so be on the look out for lots of photos from this couple.
First look at her bridals
She loves jewelry which is obvious.
Just like her the dress was imported.
This was their first look just before the wedding.
A Jewish tradition is the signing of the Ketubah.
The dance with the family and wedded couple being lifted in the chairs is called "The Hora."
Beth and Chris were my first couple ever to do a fashion type shoot with years ago. Before them there was no talk of wardrobe or accessories. Years later here we are on the home stretch of these two getting married. When asked what their story is and what they do so that I could decide how to shoot their photos, they said "we shop together."
Many brides have done what is known as "trash the dress," but my client wanted to take it a step farther. Here is what happens when you put two creative minds together and a dress that never needs to be pretty again. Shawn Kingsley, the designer, thought we were crazy. Hold your breath...
Bill and Megan are amazing. They let me join them on their engagements, her bridals, their wedding in Jamaica, her pregnancy and now 1-week-old baby photos. It is great to have friends that allow me to share these precious moments. It was our goal to capture real moments in places they really sleep and things that Reece likes to play with.
This is a chain Megan gave bill the day of their wedding, till today he has not removed it.
He works downtown, and she loves the parks. She is feisty and laughs all the time, and he lets her take the stage. They are a great example of how opposites attract. She has great taste in shoes and clothes. She did not ask he if she looked cute; all she wanted to know is which shoes go best with each outfit.
She likes to visit him downtown on Main Street.
She loves this tie on him, partially because she picked it out.
This is the exact bench where he proposed to her on one knee.
While she can appreciate architecture downtown, she also loves roses.
They both enjoy time spent away from distractions where they can talk about anything.
Shoes are her weakness.
He is a romantic.
