Kendra and Bob are super awesome. I had not had the chance to meet them since they booked me from out of town. They were hilarious, easy going, laid back, not afraid of the camera (or me!) and so easy to talk to. Bob had about 1,000 different “looks” to work off of and constantly made each pose his own. Not too common for a dude at a photo session, but a very welcome change! They are getting married at the end of May and I cannot wait to spend a whole day with them!
The Scotts. I don’t even know where to begin about these 2 – I heart them SO much!
They are both named Scott. One is little and one is big. So they go by Big and Little. Adorable? Check.
For their engagement session they wanted to go to the airport, specifically, the McNamara Terminal. Well, you cannot just mosey into the airport with photography equipment and expect to get very far. So Little spent what felt like months going back and forth between the Westin and the TSA to arrange this. And it finally paid off.
This is probably one of the coolest, most unique sessions I have been a part of. There was SO much to shoot there. We started at the Westin. That hotel is perfection for a portrait session. Then into the terminal. After an odd and semi lengthy time at security with my giant rolling light, we were in. Amazing. My favorite spot has to be that strange light up tunnel. Those shots came out amazing.
Scotts – thank you for this idea and letting me be a part of it 
I heart you.

Heather + Ryan had a super laid back and classy wedding at Wabeek Country Club – one of my favorite places! Wabeek has such an incredible little garden out back with different sets of stairs and little paths, that it’s just perfect for posed photographs. And, thankfully Heather + Ryan chose to do a first look out here, because it turned out stunning.
Heather + Ryan rolled with the punches well. It was super windy that day and moving the ceremony inside did not freak anyone out – RARE!
It was a beautiful day with beautiful people and now, beautiful images

Shannon + Gerry are such an incredibly in love and amazing couple. They had a pretty bad year and luckily had their wedding to cap it off the right way. Incredibly happy.
They love to laugh. They love to have fun. They love to be near each other.
The way Gerry looks at Shannon will melt your heart. I will NEVER forget their first look because he showed so much genuine emotion that you couldn’t helped but be touched by it. He tries to play like he’s a big bad guy but he’s a softie and I love him.
Their wedding day was crazy yet relaxed. I don’t know how that’s possible. Probably because even in the midst of crazy, they are so calm that it spreads. I had such an amazing time with them and their families. It was truly a special wedding.

Amanda & Ralph were a referral from past client/intern/friend, Erica. She is the most awesome person ever so I knew her friends must be at least slightly awesome. And they were.
After a delightful church ceremony, where they constantly giggled toegther and smiled, we hit the area for some fun portraits wih the bridal party. We tried to go to a park, but there was a wedding there. So we, went to the library and made magic happen there. Then, thanks to my awsome second shooter, Wayne, we went to Partrige creek mall for a few more shots (even one at the Apple Store)! After the photos they went to a bar for a couple drinks bfore heading to the reception.
The reception was a laid back party of fun. So much
