Well, I don’t know where to start today. After being away from the blog for quite some time–we’ll blame the mono for that, it’s hard to know even where to begin. It’s turning into a crazy season here, with the fall weddings in full swing:-)
Last Saturday was a gorgeous beautiful oh-so-perfect day, just right for a wedding. Chris and Tonya chose this day to become married and what a pretty event it was. Here is the gorgousness that is Tonya’s dress:

And the pretty bride herself.

The groom–and his men.


The bouquet against the backdrop of the beautiful beaded bodice

The train was to die for.

The girls in their green.


I prly say this about every bride, but I could have shot her all day.

The bridal party.

In lieu of a limo, the couple rented a trolley for transportation to the reception. What fun!


The happy two.





I don’t think it gets any better:-)

We had a great time with Alex and Eric on their big day. Their wedding was small. Simple. in a good way. But full of love and happiness.
Alex made a gorgeous bride!

We arrived to do pictures at Pool Forge just at the time of day when there is some super sweet light! Loved it!














Liz is one of my older, as in, been friends the longest, type of friend. I still remember the day she was there, for me, on my big day, tying the thank-you tags on my wedding favours. Even further in the past, she was there, when I met Daryl for the first time–and well, let’s just say, we go way back. She is a treasure, one of those hard-to-find kind of friends, and I mean to hang on to her as long as I can.
That said, I am beyond excited that she has met her match. Drew is the man for her, and it is so awesome to see her find happiness. I am so excited to be able to stand up with her on her big day, while letting the photos to Daryl and our capable helpers. Let’s just say, it will be fun!
We got to spend some time with these two over the fourth, making some great memories and also checking out the wedding venue. And while we were at it, how about a few engagement images too? These guys totally rocked their engagment session. I would shoot them any day! They made our job SO easy.

Liz, do you know how fabulous you are??


Can we say Hot?















Last week, we needed to meet up w/ one of our couples for their pre-wedding chat. Since we hadn’t met them before, we were glad for a chance to get to know them a bit before their big day. It was a total pleasure to get to spent some time with this amazing couple. We grabbed a few engagement shots of them, just so they could get used to us as well, before their wedding.
We are super pumped to get to spend more time with them at their wedding. Eric & Alex:


The Summer evening light was gorgeous, glowly and delicious, despite the humid temps.



So sweet together.


A favorite of mine.


We had a fun night with JR and Esther in the city the other evening. They are a stunning couple. We are certainly looking forward to their wedding in the near future!


Too cute!












Good luck guys, as you plan for your big day!

Our wedding this past weekend was super fun. Rodney is an old friend of Daryl’s from his single days, so it was pretty cool to see him getting married, and to such a neat person too! We are excited and happy for Rodney and Crystal, here’s to their future.
The day was lovely, a cool respite from the 90 degree day we had the day before. The rain held off all day, which was a good thing, since most of the time we were doing pictures, it seemed like it could let loose at any moment. Crystal’s girl looked steller in their vibrant pink, and the guys in their pink socks. More on that later.
Here’s Rodney and Crystal:


We of course, loved the parasols Crystal brought along for the pictures.

Love the green bits of moss in the bouquet.




The happy two:







This little farm was just a lovely change of scenery from our normal spots.



once again, love those parasols!


So fun having so many friends in the wedding party. The guys hammed it up w/ their hot pink socks. Not sure whose idea it was…

The other Saturday, on a beautiful perfect day in May, Daryl’s youngest sister got married. It was fun to be there, to shoot the pics, and celebrate their happiness. We are so happy that Melissa found herself such a wonderful person to spend the rest of her life with. Welcome to the family Jake! I have lots of pics to share, hope you don’t get bored.
First off, a shot of Melissa’s gorgeous dress. I think this is my favorite wedding dress of the year, so far. Love the ruching.

Melissa doesn’t look so bad herself.

Love that little sparkly detail.


Jake. Behind him: trouble.

happy two.






All the girlies, in their cheerful yellow dressses.

My favorite shot of the girls.

the whole bridal party. It was fun knowing everyone.



And the Musser clan + Biggie & Gotz, friends from Germany.

Our little family. Not every day we get to take a family photo at a wedding.







Jake has the cutest nieces and nephews. 

And some reception funess. The cheerful spring flowers as centerpieces. 

Me and my beautiful one.

Couldn’t resist.

Cheers to them!
Nothing more lovely then a breezy summer evening, soaked with sunlight and sweetness. Add to the mix, two cute in-love people, and you’ve got Jeremy and Sheri’s engagement shoot.
We loved the summer evening sunlight and these fields of tall grasses. It doesn’t get any better:-)

Soft light.


See, aren’t they just cute? Can’t wait for their wedding:-)




A boy. His car. His girl:-)

We thouroughly enjoyed our wedding couple this past weekend. The heavy rainclouds were no match for the happiness radiating from them. They were in love and so very excited to be getting married! We had alot of fun shooting in a brand-new location, and wished we had more time before the skies poured rain.
And the happy two, Justin and Jessica:

Such happy sweetness.

it was a good day for Justin too.






The green dresses were a fresh pop of color in contrast w/ the architecture.


Fun girlie details:




Some fun details at the reception were the absolutely DELICIOUS choco covered strawberries.

The fun chairs at the bridal table: 
And this edgey trendy cake!

I don’t know where to begin with Joe and Bethany’s wedding. To say it was a beautiful event would be an understatement. Even a casual observer would have been able to tell that each detail had been carefully planned and thought through. It was a beautiful event and we were honored to have the job of shooting it all. Since it was all the way in Ohio, Daryl and I didn’t get to meet the couple before their big day, so we were in for a real treat. Two beautiful people, inside and out:

The day was full of lovely, soft light.

The groom.

These guys knew what to do.




Beautiful bride. Inside and out.





Looooved the tulips that the girlies carried.


And now, for the real eye-candy. The details of the reception were just so fun, from the moss on the bridal table, to the chandeliers, and the assorted vintage chairs, each with their own comfy white pillow. Just. So. Fun!


The wedding cakes adorned with woodland greenery.

White chocolate covered pretzal sticks.

Armloads of dogwoods added an airy ethereal feeling to the white tent. 
Yummers. 
More of the vintage chairs. 
Table centerpieces were assorted vintage white ware, with potted greenery. Simple. lovely. 

We couldn’t stop.
