We've been out!

Thu, 05 Mar 2009 17:39:45 GMT

We've been out for awhile as we have been traveling to Las Vegas, Chicago, and Chicago again this week. So much is in store for this coming year as we're starting off with some exciting engagement sessions and weddings in April. We're also launching our brand spankin' new site (which looks amazing!). We can't wait to launch it in April with brand new content. We're also going to try to add some video content as well to bring you along with our travels.

Stay tuned for the details!

New Albums!

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 20:09:50 GMT

The wedding season has officially slowed down for the year, but that doesn't mean we slow down working! We've been constantly getting orders for albums and prints. I love getting new albums in the mail because the the smell of new leather is just so nice! Here's one of the few albums that arrived this past week.

Viet + Thi Portrait Session: New York, NY

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 21:08:38 GMT

On Jan. 15th was the coldest day of the year in NYC. The temperature was only in the single digits that day. Viet and Thi flew over from Orange County, California the night before to take their wedding portrait session. At first, I thought they were crazy to come from sunny California to take photographs in the unbearable cold conditions. Later I found out that they wanted to do four different portrait sessions in the four seasons so they could display those images on their wedding day. The snow and the city skylines made everything turn out perfect!

Love the snowflakes on them.

Juliet + Holden Wedding: Pasadena, CA

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 05:10:06 GMT

This wedding was my last wedding for 2008. Juliet and Holden flew me over to Los Angeles to capture their wedding in old town Pasadena. There only a few churches in California that have the old, traditional stain glass window churches. There were so many beautiful to places to shoot around the church that we didn't have to spend that much time going to other places. Before I arrived to California, I was very excited to enjoy the warm weather. Little did I know the temperature wasn't as warm as I thought it would be, but it was a great way to end the season of weddings.

Lovely stain glass windows on the balcony of the church.

Juliet loves otters.

While I was scouting for places to take portraits, I was trying to find some nice scenic palm trees. We finally found some right next to the reception area, which makes this one of my favorite pictures of the night.

Kim + Henry: Somerset, NJ

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:04:28 GMT

Shooting this wedding was very special to me since I have known Kim for quite awhile since high school, and having them both in my small group at church. It's also special to me because people think Henry and I look alike, so it was like shooting a wedding for my twin (but not really). Most of these images were taken at The Palace at Somerset Park. This was the 4th wedding in a row that it was pouring rain outside. I still didn't prevent us from getting some amazing images. Hope you guys had a great time at the Bahamas.

Special thanks to Angela for flying in to help out at this wedding. Make sure to order your handmade creatures before Christmas!

Kat + Gary: Portrait Session

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:18:47 GMT

It's great to see previous wedding clients come back for more sessions! I shot Katrina and Gary's wedding 1.5 years ago, and they flew all the way from Michigan to do this portrait session in NYC. I always love doing portrait sessions for couples because we have fun and I tend to get more creative shots when we are not under time restrictions. For this session, we went around Grand Central, Times Square and Central Park. Again, all this was done in 20-30 degree weather... gotta love it.
