This shot was taken right after the wedding ceremony.  Guests showered the bride and groom with bubbles.  The two ladies in the background are the mother+grandmother of the groom.  Cute, right?

Stay tuned for more everyone-  I have a few Senior sessions, a modeling session and many more wedding photos to share. 

And, guess what?  She will also be participating in my next 2 workshops. I’m really looking  forward to her being there and adding some unique artsy elements to our already amazing line up of talent.  Stay tuned for more of that…. the next workshop is less than 3 weeks away!!!  Yay!!

Jackie from WGRD did a great job modeling the traditional Indian Bridal wear and Jessica Doggett applied flawless makeup!  Both of these super talented ladies will also be at my Urban Drama workshop. 

She had henna applied to both arms, on the top and bottom… the detail was so intricate and delicate.

And for those of you out there who are wondering ….  Sumeyya makes her own henna paste.  Its made from the leaves of the henna plant and has a lovely fragrance to it.  She applies the paste using a small tube (shown below) on various parts of the female body.

 The paste will harden and then flake off within hours of application. Beneath the paste is a reddish orange design (sort of a temporary tattoo) that typically remains on the skin for up to 3-4 weeks.  Henna designs on the arms and feet is tradition for Indian/Pakistani brides.  Visit http://www.hennacraze.com for more info.

Stay tuned for more upcoming sessions! 

The Autumn color and bright sunlight created a fairytale feel that I just couldn’t resist…

Even with the Fall colors, I LOVE me a black & white shot of a bride and groom any day of the week

the bride wore a veil made by her mother and was absolutely stunning in it

I  love nature settings with long whimsical gowns such as this one…. it creates such a feeling of romance, doesn’t it?

And the groom didn’t look so bad himself…

Together they make magic….

And travel from place to place…

And urban  place……. another of my favorite places to do portraits…. and these are some of my most favorite images ever.

Such beautiful contrasts make me happy

But while Kelsey posed, Mike enjoyed participating in his own ways….LOL 

Thanks, Kelsey, for making my vision come to life with this one. You rock….

Yep, I think the groom approves of his bride …

     Sorry, Kelsey’s Mom…… we all still love you.

Love you guys!!  Hope you enjoyed this blog post of images and there are more coming your way, too!  I wish you a lifetime of happiness together.   xoxoxo

A fav of mine…

Using a fisheye is lots of fun…. look at all of that fun Fall color!

Ryan’s idea, a pretty good one, huh? 

And even though Fall color is in full force, we did take some shots at a really cool old barn area for variety…

I love how he makes her laugh….

I’m so glad they humored me and went into the pale colored field before leaving….

I had a super hard time narrowing down the images from this session- there are lots more!    I cannot wait for their August wedding and am so honored they chose me to work with during this special time of their lives. 

If you are getting engaged/married soon- send me an email or message on Facebook!  I would love to work with YOU as well.

Stay tuned for upcoming posts…. I’ve got a gorgeous bride/groom, Fall Family, Dramatic model, a couple of children and who knows what else I will come up with to share with you all very soon.

What a great time we have… especially with folks as AWESOME as this crowd.  They were happy, relaxed, smiling souls ALL day- no complaints (not one!) .  That kindness and welcoming warmth continued throughout the evening.  It was my absolute pleasure to be at the  Meeting House and Ballroom in Plymouth with them on their special day.  I am going to just post a handful of shots here today.  To see more, please visit Tressie’s site/blog.

Starting the day off meeting with the guys was a lot of fun.

But the two of them together had even more magic…..

Love in the air was abundant and evident throughout the day…

After the ceremony we walked around downtown Plymouth and spotted this beautiful Historic Home… who could resist stopping for a few shots there?

What a GREAT group of people. And I loved the flowers from Wesley Berry and gorgeous dress colors, too!

A bride dancing with her father is always one of my favorite parts of a wedding, so I felt that would be a nice image to leave you with.

Tressie and I will be working  more weddings together next year- stay tuned. 

Oh, and yes, I will  be posting images from my Autumn Love workshop last weekend in my next Blog update.  Visit my Facebook Page to see them now.
