Amy & Justin

I still owe you guys 3 weddings from 2008. The first is Amy & Justin, who had a beautiful day at the end of November (complete with snow which made for some nice pictures!)

Getting ready shots, and wow, Amy was a beautiful bride!


Holy cute flowergirls! Love this one of them checking out Amy's bouquet:


SOOOOOOO cute:


This had everyone in the church cracking up, the 2 year old flowergirl stopped at the top of the aisle, dumped her petals and dropped her basket, and then ran down. =)




Loved the church:




The ringbearers were pretty cute also:


Happy couple:




I caught the last of the light coming through the windows on Amy's veil just before the sun set:






The sky and the snow, gorgeous!!!






And you know I like to have fun with the rings:


Congratulations Amy & Justin!!!!!

Beckstead workshop

I've been meaning to post this literally for months. Back in the fall I participated in a 2 day workshop hosted by the amazing David Beckstead (who is a very famous photographer for those of you who don't know). I had a great time, it was an amazing experience, and I really enjoyed getting to know some of the other photographers in the area who I hadn't met yet. Check out David's blog also, 3 of my images made it there! Shoot it with Beckstead Blog
Some of what I caught:

Some behind the scenes action:






Crazy instructor, we made quite a spectacle walking down the street also, its not every day you see 3 brides with 20 photographers following them around:


Big thanks to the amazing models also! Melissa, Kate & Anna it was fun spending the day with you, you guys were great!!

Leslie & Ben

I had a great time shooting
Leslie & Ben's wedding. Big picture overload because the day was PERFECT:

The weather started like this, but by the time the ceremony was over we had beautiful blue skies:




I've blogged this shot before, but I LOVE Heinz chapel inside:


Check out the little girl taking the picture, and then the next image here:






Leslie and Ben's nephew was playing with his Thomas train during the ceremony, they were trying not to laugh:




Fun with Leslie's veil:


I couldn't decide if I liked the vertical or horizontal better, so I'm posting them both.




Hey the rain left us some cool puddles to get a shot in:




Love the bridesmaid dresses:


What a gorgeous bride:


A quick glamor shot:






We grabbed a few at Hartwood then before heading off to the reception:




LOVE this one:






Yes, more fun with the veil, I couldn't help myself:
