Tina & Greg's wedding...

...is in the process of being posted...For those looking to view the galleries, go to the Proofs section of my website. The password is Greg's last name...the remainder of the galleries will be posted by Wednesday night! Happy viewing!

Nick & Christie & the kids!

I finally got to meet Amy's sister and her family last week - we did some family portraits at their beautiful house for Christmas (which I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving!). Christie had everything soooo coordinated. Check out the front door portrait. And little Cara's eyes...it's like looking into the ocean.

Thank you for having me over, we'll all have to get together again without a camera involved (well, that's hard to do...)  ;)

A few more from the previous post...

2 more beach sessions...

A few more families made it out to the beach...the beauty of photography is it gives me a reason to hang out with people and it's fun for everyone. The kids were a bit more interested in looking for seashells and getting wet, but we were able to get a few 'portraits' out of them...And your photos will be online later today, Kandi and Debbie! Thanx for the honor of capturing this time, I know it's hard to get your family all in one place and you have to take advantage of it! See you in Indiana sometime... :)

Mike, Kim & Krista at the beach...

Flashback to St. Augustine last weekend...I had the honor of photographing 3 families the morning after Tina & Greg's wedding...Kim & Mike were first with their CUTE little girl, Krista. What an angel! It was so cool to meet her since  the last time I'd seen Kim, she was 7 months pregnant! Here are a few shots from the session - I like the vertical with them walking, it looks very surreal and hollywood at the same time. I'm sure they're wishing they were back at the beach instead of Michigan this week...thank you Kim and Mike! (CD is in the mail!)

Tina & Greg...

WHAT A WEDDING!!! I have WAY too many awesome photos, so it was hard to choose a select few to give you an idea of the story....but Tina and Greg were engaged in St. Augustine, Florida last year at the famous lighthouse. Tina requested a 'First Look' to be captured at this location. And it was beautiful - mostly because we ALL cried when Greg came walking up to Tina to see her for the first time in

 her wedding gown waiting for him at the lighthouse. It's hard to not cry tears of joy in moments like that...even more so since Tina and I are from the same hometown in Indiana and I've known her for years...so it was an honor to be a part of her day by photographing it!

So great to see everyone - Tina's family, old friends, my sister...and especially to meet the man Tina married and Greg's family as well. And last but not least, Greg's two wonderful boys who served as his best men.

The wedding and reception were held at the White Room in old downtown St. Augustine (our oldest established city!). I'm not really posting much of the wedding and reception, but there will be plenty used on my website in the future...one of my favorites shots is Tina & Greg kissing by the orange wall - and Tina is laughing...

UPDATE

Hello everyone! Just a word now that I'm back from the long weekend destination wedding in St. Augustine, Florida! (Lots more to come on Tina & Greg's wedding....!) But I did want everyone looking for Christina and Jay's proofing gallery to know that it will be online tonight. Please call or email if you did not receive the password.

Photos will be coming soon (the next few days) of the good times in Florida...it's really called sunny Florida for a reason. Be in touch!

Christina & Jay are married!

What a gorgeous day this past Saturday in Montgomery! You could not ask for a more perfect wedding day for Christina and Jay. They had an afternoon ceremony at the Church of the Ascension, one of the most beautiful historic churches I've been to in the area. The colors Christina had at her wedding were also perfect for the day - the bridesmaids wore a subtle green and orange roses popped from every corner of this place. Not to mention the bright blue sky (I'm into skies!)...but Christina and Jay are off on their honeymoon to some sandy beaches, so they may not even be thinking about wedding details at the moment... 

They saw each other before the ceremony, so one image is a shot of their faces as he comes up the stairs. The emotions were very high and sweet, but I love photographing First Look shots. It also takes an edge off the formal photos AFTER the ceremony when everyone is trying to get to the party! Here are a few shots from the afternoon... Congratulations you 

two, so happy for you! And a big shout out to Diane for bringing all of this together as well as my sidekick, Megan, for capturing some details! :)
