TRISHA . + . DAVE = ELEGANCE AND LOVE

Last Saturday 06.20.08 I had the pleasure of shooting Tricia and Dave's wedding at the Bond Ballroom.

The Bond is really one of my favorite places to shoot. The large windows, the ambiance and the whole feel to the place is amazing!

I knew going into the wedding one of my favorite florists Datura was going to be doing the flowers. So I was so excited...and just excited about the table pieces alone... you will see why later! When I arrived at Beautique Salon I got even more GIDDY for I saw Janice of Naomi Martinez Salon! I knew now I was in for killer photos....killer makeup + amazing hair and flowers what more could I ask for!

The day started off amazing... good friends and family at the salon and then we headed to get ready.

Here a couple of shots I got of the flower girls at the salon:

They wanted to photograph me ha!


How precious is she!


Thanks to Carla's post awhile back I knew what to do when you have no place for a dress shot!


These 2 photos really captured me when going through this day. I will just let the photos say what I feel:





I was so excited cause i got some time at the Bond before anyone was up there to photograph Tricia alone! What a blast and the light ahhhhhhh! AMAZING did I mention AMAZING!!!!!!!!







Right after the ceremony we went over to Elizabeth Park and guess who i run into?????? CARLA!!!!! She was out shooting and engagement shoot!!! How Fun!!!!

Okay so as we were doing photos of course the rain storm blew in......but Tricia and Dave said keep going!!!!!!! And we did See the amazing photos we got!!!!!!! Meg and I were soaked but how cares for the photos rocked!!!!!!




So then we left the park and headed to the Bond and the rain stopped! So we went outside to rock a couple more photos!







Here are a few details from Datura Florist!

I did not mention that the center pieces were feathers how cool!!!!! I have NEVER seen anything like this...... LOVED IT!!!!!


And of course their first dance! I love this shot that Meg caught from above!





Well the night went on with great food, drink and music by Tom Conte!

The photobooth we did was also a huge hit........ and what a surprise I got to see an old friend from high school!!!!! Photos from there to come soon!

BABY PEREZ IS ON THE WAY!

Lately I have really been getting into maternity sessions. I really love the way a women looks all glowey, healthy, excited and full of color! Dads to especially if it is their first child are so excited and full of energy to meet this little child!

I had the privilege of photographing J&E last week! What is even more touching than being able to capture this precious time of life is that next September I will be capturing their wedding!!! It is so exciting to be able to be a part of their lives and watch how their family and themselves grow!

J&E are expecting on July 3rd and it's going to be a BOY!!!!!!!

love my new backgrounds!!!!
this photo is sooooo classic....and I LOVE his HAT!!!!




look how cute and excited j is!!!





I LOVE these next 2 photos..... so sexy in a way!!!!

TRISHA . + . DAVE = GIGGLES AND SILLYNESS!

One of the best things about being a wedding photographer is all the different types of people I get to photograph and meet. Some are quite, shy, silly, loud, super fashionable, artsy..... i could go on and on. But this couple does not fit any of those personalities at all! They are their own funnieness ...is that even a word? They are super super silly, but loving at the same time.

I met Trisha and Dave from my friend Julie. When I heard Trisha was engaged I was super phsyched and could not wait to her from her about the wedding. See Trisha is a graphic designer so I knew each and every detail will be accounted for! Being the busy girl she is and Dave a busy soccer coach we finally got to tag down their e-session!

So last week we made a run for it and had a blast! We started out at Olympia Diner in Newington....followed by some bowling and then good ole' elizabeth park! Their wedding is set for June 20th at the Bond Ballroom! and I could not be more excited!!!!!

First you must start off with a good ring pic......sorry trisha about the fall in!





shhhhh...don't tell dave!!!! you can really see trisha's personality here!


THESE ARE MY 2 FAVS INSIDE THE DINER! THE LIGHT WAS AMAZING AND SO WAS THE TEAL BLUE DECOR!





OH NO TRISHA DONT FALL DOWN THE ALLY!!!!


MY FAVORITE DOOR AT ELIZABETH PARK!!!!



MY LAST 2 FAVS AT THE PARK... TRISHA LOOKS SOOOOO HOT AND SEDUCTIVE! WELL I THINK SO!!!



WELL TRISH AND DAVE I HAD SUCH A BLAST AND CANNOT WAIT FOR YOUR WEDDING NEXT WEEK!!!!

SHELLY . + . JOSE = FUN IS THE SAND!

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Shelly and Jose at WatersEdge with Ali of Brian Ambrose Photography.
It was my second time shooting a wedding with Ali and we had such a BLAST!!!!!!!

The day started out with rocky weather not knowing if it would rain or not. But the rain held out and we got to photograph on the beach!!! Shelly's only request that day was for beach photos and no rain..... well Shelly you got it!!!! I truly had such a great time with Shelly and Jose .... they were up for anything.

Below are a bunch of my favorites I took of the two of them that day!
