Lauren's Bridals








Lauren's dress finally came in!! Yay! You might remember Lauren from my previous post (the 2 part engagement session) I shot a wedding out at this lady's house, and had the most gorgeous light and just fell in love with the decor. So naturally, I had to shoot there again! Shelly is the most amazing decorator and has exquisite taste that is obvious with everything she touches. And she's the hostest with the mostest to boot! Thank you Susan for introducing me to her!

Jamie and Blake Engagements










I had so much fun doing Jamie and Blake's Engagements! We kept having to postpone because of rain, but I knew that I wanted the clouds that you get right after the rain. Since the lake is super important to them, I knew that it was only fitting that we do the engagements there. I don't think any of us were prepared for the out of control grass and mass of mosquitos that greeted us as we made our way down to the shore. My poor assistant brought flip flops. I had prepared ahead with knee high boots. I probably should have better warned her!

The light was soooo beautiful. I love how soft the light is when you have a whole sky full of clouds. It is this giant softbox that gives the most beautiful even light, with just a shaft of drama here and there. I have to hand it to Jamie and Blake (any my assistant Heather). This was a hard core shoot! (closer to national geographic than wedding photography!) But we got some awesome shots!
