Woo hoo, the season has begun! And what a great way to start things off…Tasha and Rob are friends with a few of my awesome past clients Erica & Sean and Elena & John and brought me down to New Jersey for their wedding. I love shooting in new places and was anticipating a fun party. I was not disappointed!

The ceremony was very sweet and full of smiles. I love Tasha’s pretty vintage look!

And some tears… I LOVE this shot of Rob wiping her tear away!

So happy to be Mr and Mrs…

The bridal party was rocking it at the Molly Pitcher Inn.

What a cute couple!

Romantic!

Sweet!

This was a great party. Guests were up dancing between courses!

This is Tasha and her Man of Honor, Louis-Anthony, having the best time ever. I could shoot this wedding every weekend!

Rob was having so much fun, he’s pretty much the life of the party.

Matt and Kerri looking adorable, as usual.

This is my favorite. Tasha might need to sweep the leg!

Thanks so much for having me Tasha and Rob! I had so much fun with you and your families I’m sure you’re having the best time in Maui!!!

I knew Erica and Sean’s September wedding at the Inn on the Lake in Canandaigua had great publishing potential as soon as I saw all the beautiful purple details. The shoes, the flowers, the tent… it was so lovely! Of course it didn’t hurt that Erica and Sean are completely adorable and sweet! They got a sweet write-up on the K.I.S.S. Wedding blog, check it out! It wouldn’t be a post without a picture, so had to include one of my favorites! More over at K.I.S.S!

It’s no secret that I get giddy when past wedding clients contact me to photograph their babies, I just love it! It’s so fun to reconnect and see them thriving and building their families. Michelle and Rob were one of my favorites of 2008, they are just such a cute couple, we had a great day, and the picture of Rob as Michelle is coming down the aisle is still one of my all-time favorites! We met up this fall for a shoot with their little boy, Andrew and it was cute to see them as parents. Andrew is a pretty happy-go-lucky little guy, but was a little shy on the day of our shoot. Michelle and Rob were awesome and so patient trying to coax a few smiles out of him! Worth the wait, for sure!

What a sweet family!

Proud parents.

Having some fun with mom!

He he, look at how cute he is! Love the cute little red button nose… it was pretty chilly that day!

Curious kid!

It was so fun to meet little Andrew, thanks so much Michelle and Rob!

IS actually gold. At least it is in this lovely tablescape created by the extraordinary Cyd Converse of The Sweetest Occasion! Cyd was invited to participate in a design challenge at A Subtle Revelry and recruited me to photograph the setup which of course I was thrilled to do. These wintertime inspiration shoots are a tradition now and I am all about it because 1. they are a blast, 2. it is really interesting to watch Cyd create these pretty setups from scratch, and 3. I usually end up with a cake.

Cyd is so ridiculously creative… those are cupcake liners formed into flowers and spraypainted gold. Awesome!

Love this! If you’re throwing a wedding or any other party, it can be used as a guestbook!

Cyd added a few pops of red and purple to give the table a completely different feel without a ton of work…

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone, I hope you have a lovely day!

So excited to announce I’ve had a wedding featured in the gorgeous spring issue of WellWed magazine! Ann Clowe from The Topiary got the ball rolling on submitting Lizy and Wyatt’s beautiful summer wedding at Esperanza Mansion. I’d never submitted a wedding for publication before, so I sort of fumbled my way through it but was sooo thrilled when I got the message saying we made it in. Check out the spreads!

Can’t wait to pick up the printed issue!!

Apologies for yet another lapse in blogging… I have spent the last month alternating between snuggling with Pepper, looking at Pepper, taking pictures of Pepper and looking at pictures of Pepper- a busy schedule that hasn’t left much time for blogging! Heh heh. Happy 2011! A huge thank you to all my incredible 2010 clients… what a year it was! I’m thinking of compiling a 2010 favorites post, but first things first!

Alycia is the sister one of my lovely 2008 brides, Cristyn, so of course I was thrilled to get her email about her 2011 wedding… I love doing multiple weddings for a family, it is so much fun! We chatted about the wedding and went over all the details and when they were ready to book I asked Alycia for her fiancé’s last name. When she told me, I pretty much turned into a valley girl and was like “NO. WAY. NOWAY!” It turns out Cameron and I grew up on the same street! I hadn’t seen him in probably 20 years, so of course I was excited to see him again. We lucked out with a 40-ish degree day (after 2 straight weeks of below freezing) and met up at High Falls to start things off.

There’s so much great color around High Falls.

One of my favorites… they’re so cute together.

We also headed over to the Memorial Art Gallery for a few shots. These twisted branches make a cool pattern in the background.

Alycia and Cameron were so fun to photograph, just totally chill and laughing pretty much the whole time. Makes things easy for me!

The front of the MAG is really beautiful.

This is ridiculously cute. Ridiculously!

I hope you guys had as much fun as I did, see you in a few months!!
