A few of my favorite wedding photos!
Friday, October 30th, 2009
Just got off the phone with a friend after discussing wedding photography and all the details of starting a business. I was reminded of how awesome it is to capture a couple’s wedding day and how much I love it! While there is stress and pressure on the big day it so pays off when I get home and download the images! So here I am thinking about how much I love it as I am browsing through some wedding photos and thought I’d post some of my favs!
Such a pretty flower girl!
Sisters!
This is from a wedding last year. Their first anniversary is coming up soon. Happy early anniversary Jon & Kristi!
I love the bride being out of focus here with the water in focus.
Daddy getting ready to walk his oldest daughter down the isle to be married.
Dave & Britt were such a sweet couple to shoot. They were absolutely head over heals for one another! Brittany’s Dad went home to be with the Lord in 2006. Her Dad was an organ donor and she was able to receive part of his knee latter that year when she had to have knee surgery. In a very special way Brittany still got to have her daddy walk her down the isle!
I love the moment just before the kiss!
Sparklers are one of my favorite endings to a wedding. They are so pretty and the Bride and Groom look awesome running through them.
He was a shy little ring bearer but that just made him look more cute

Knaus Apple Ranch in Tehachapi, California
Sunday, October 4th, 2009
This week my friend Beth told me about her and her family going to the Knaus Apple Ranch to pick apples and then to The Apple Shed for lunch. She said they do it every year and it’s become one of their family traditions so the wheels started turning and I thought what a great idea!
Instead of asking my husband if he wanted to go I just emailed him and told him we were going. Below is our conversation about going.
Me: “We are going apple picking tomorrow in Tehachapi.”
Eric: “Huh? With who?”
Me: “Just us. Beth told me about a farm they went to and I want to go. Then they went to the Apply Shed for lunch and I want to do that too.”
Eric: “Okay, but I fully expect you to make a pie out of the apples.”
Me: “I knew that was coming.”
So while I didn’t exactly make Apple Pie, I did make apple cake and it took him a whole 2 seconds to inhale a piece of it. 
Our pretty apples lined up and ready for the chopping block.
Us skillfully taking our self portrait.
Me enjoying the day
Eric loves to pick apples. Can’t you tell?

Smithfield, Virginia Wedding Photography: Lily & Jared
Thursday, October 1st, 2009
After leading her new love on a scavenger hunt to claim his prize he was surprised to find a beautiful woman waiting for him at the end, Lily. She loved him and wanted to let him know that she was ready for a serious relationship. It was such a cute idea and I know Jared was stoked about his prize! A few months later they were engaged!
The wedding day was absolutely beautiful! The flowers arrived from Simply Connie and the girls enjoyed the afternoon getting ready with the ladies from Beyond Beauty as the ceremony quickly approached. Today was the day that Lily and Jared would enter into their life together as husband and wife. Today was the day they would say their vows to one another and before their almighty God. Lily was smiling ear to ear as she started down the isle to meet her groom. It was evident on their faces that the moment they had both been waiting for was finally here.
The dinner reception was held at the beautiful Smithfield Center. Lily and Jared enjoyed mingling and having a good time throughout the evening and then off they went for their Honey Moon in Jamaica.
Lily and Jared we are so excited and happy for you guys!
I think this might be my fav from the wedding. They were naturals at this dipping business. I absolutely love their facial expressions here.
Makin’ some adjustments. Love this in black and white.
This one was taken by the ever so talented Eric Hayes. Love the light in this photo.
The boys rough housing. What they do best. We did a few shots like this and the higher Jared went the funnier it was.
