Joe + Phyllis {Austin, TX}

I have been looking forward to Joe + Phyllis's wedding ever since their May engagement session. Jeremy and I had so much fun that we couldn't wait for their wedding. This past Saturday at the Green Pastures Restaurant, their day finally came. With friends and family flying in from both East and West Coasts, we knew we weren't the only ones feeling the amazing love and energy between this couple.

Sweet Joe + Phyllis ~ What an amazing experience! Phyllis's constant laughter and Joe's charming grins fill our memories and echo in your images. What a wonderful connection you have with your friends, your family and with each other. Thank you for allowing us to share in your day and witness those crazy moves on the dance floor. *wink*

Cheers!

Beth + Ben {Missoula, MT}

This past weekend, Jeremy and I flew up to Missoula, Montana for the wedding of Beth and Ben. We had photographed Beth's sister's wedding back in 2002 and it was wonderful to see everyone again.

Beth and Ben decided to host their wedding at a mountain ski resort - Snowbowl. Though there was no snow in sight, the mountain was alive with wildflowers, deep green pines, a rippling brook and lots of mountain bikers. They couldn't have picked a more perfect place to be married in.

Honey was a reoccurring theme for them. They included a "honey-tasting" during their ceremony and they gave out honey bears as favors to their guests. I couldn't help but continue the theme with one of the honey rings for their ring shot. ^_^

In keeping with the grape motif and color scheme of the wedding, Beth wore red shoes under her grape embroidered gown.

Beth and Ben are the cutest couple. Throughout their ceremony, they were smiling, giggling and making everyone else laugh right along with them.

Aren't they adorable?

I love it when a group suddenly bursts out into song. Beth's side treated the couple to "You Are My Sunshine" while we took group shots. Not to be outdone, Ben's side hit a home run with "Take Me Out To The Ball Game." ^_^

There was no singing with the bridal party.

But there was a lot of laughing and hugging...

...and jumping...

...and running!

Oh, and kissing! This is the fun part.

Beth and Ben's ceremony arbor was draped in bunches of gorgeous grapes and climbing vines. For future brides out there, remember: grapes can double as snacks while your taking your couples shots. ^_^ I didn't think the grapes were real at first - until they started eating them - while we were photographing them. I love these two!

At last, it was time for the reception at Snowbowl's - The Last Run Inn.

Cupcakes made for a fun cake feeding.

I think it's safe to say that everyone was having fun. ^_^

Sweet Beth and Ben: You were an absolute joy to photograph. Thanks for letting us be apart of your celebration. Enjoy your honeymoon in Banff (or as Beth says, "BAM~ff"). ^_^ Cheers!

Hello, everyone! For those who have been waiting patiently for Karin + Giles gallery, I'd like to announce that it is official up and running! Head on over to my Clients site to view it. Enjoy!

Karin + Giles {McLean, VA}

Last week, I traveled back to the DC/Virginia area for Karin + Giles Wedding. I had been looking forward to their wedding ever since we met last fall. From the beginning, they knew exactly what they wanted – great music, friends and family, and lots of fun! I think they definitely achieved that and more. The day ran smoothly thanks to Amy Williams coordinating the event. Even the rain held off until it was officially time to depart. =)

To Karin + Giles: Thank you so much for allowing Jeremy and myself to be apart of your celebration. It was our pleasure to document your day and the many wonderful friends and family who came to support you. May Peace, Love, and Happiness follow you in the years to come!

Cheers!
