Jen and David are married!!!

What a great wedding! So many great moments and emotions. The whole day was filled with love and warmth from family & friends. We had so much fun photographing at Newport Vineyards & by the sea at the Newport Yachting Center. I was looking forward to hora pictures all summer!!!! (Hora is the traditional Jewish chair dance at the reception.) I now have 4 amazing hora photos in my collection. Jen has such an expressive face. She’s a photographer’s dream. I made lots of series of images because I couldn’t decide on just one emotion to show. Jen & David’s love just bursts through the photos.

Love this series….getting laced up and Jen hugging her mom. That’s a proud mama!!!


The next 2 series are Jen & David seeing each other for the first time. Jen’s mom walked her through the vineyard row where David was waiting for her. David just beams! It’s perfect!!

LOVE
LOVE
LOVE


I really don’t know how they are going to decide on pictures for their book. It’s going to be impossible. :)


Working out that strong, golden light….

I just want to stop for a second and say that I made the next 2 photos in the parking lot. I really liked the way the grass looked and knew I could frame it and make it beautiful. Jen & David were fine with my crazy ideas to bring them there. This is the true sign of a professional artist. Taking a scene that normally would be looked over and turning it into something beautiful.



This photo was also in a parking lot.

David breaking the glass….I love Jen’s excitement

I absolutely had to lay out a storytelling series of these 4 photographs. Again, I just can’t get over Jen’s expressions. So perfect!

Groom’s cake. He’s from Texas.


Waiting to be introduced. Yet another great series!!


Listening to Jen’s sister during her toast. Look at how David looks at Jen….so sweet.


Priceless!


I was literally giddy for the hora!!!!!! I love my job!

HOLIDAY ORDERING DEADLINES

It’s that time of year again! NOW is the time to order pictures in time for the holidays.

I’ll be working extremely hard all through the months of November and December to get everyone’s gifts out to them on time. This means lots of 15 hour days behind the computer. I’m no stranger of long hours and hard work, but I need everyone’s cooperation with the deadlines.

Below are the deadlines. Please plan accordingly. Rush fees will apply if you order past the deadline.

PORTRAIT CLIENTS:

If you have already been photographed, your deadline is Sunday, December 6th. ($75 RUSH FEE for orders placed after December 6th. No exceptions.)

If you want to schedule a new portrait session in time for the holidays, you must have an appointment scheduled on or before Friday, December 4th. Your proofs will be ready by Friday, December 11th. I will need you to order by December 15th in order to be ready in time. If you don’t order by December 15th, you will be subject to a $75 rush charge. No exceptions.





My beautiful October brides!!!

The October ladies are getting a few extra preview pictures since the fall months are the busiest months of the season and they have the longest waiting time. I thank everyone for their patience!
