New albums section on website. Click here to check it out.



We have a lot of out of town brides, some of which I don't even get to meet before the wedding day. Since album design can be a little tricky without being able to touch and feel all the samples in my office, I thought I would create a section on my website with some detail shots of albums I carry. A few more detail shots to come soon. In the meantime, check out another album post with more photos as well.

Not all albums are the same. There are many, many album companies out there and it can be tricky to fish through them all to find great quality albums that will be beautiful and last generations to come. After all, albums are family heirlooms. If you come across an album that is $300, there is a reason why it is so inexpensive. In the end, albums are like most things, you simply get what you pay for. That is why we carry the best in the world.

Manufactured in New Zealand, professional photographers have entrusted their images to Queensberry for more than 30 years. They use the finest materials possible. They offer a wide range of album types and cover options, all of which are archival to museum standards and library bound construction. Check out their website (and mine too) for more info. I love talking about different albums, so feel free to e-mail me with any questions. When the cake is all eaten up, the guests
have all gone home, the album is all you will have left to remember one of the most important days in your life.

My pals Alina (La Dolce Vita Photography) and Suzi (Q. weddings) had an incredible lunch at The Steeping Room today. I just had to plug this awesome tea and sandwich spot. If you love tea, you have to check this place out! We all had this oh-so-yummy iced coconut green tea that was some of the best iced tea I've ever had. Suzi and I purchased a couple bags to take home. It was so nice to hang out with the girls one last time before baby comes. It feels like it's going to be any day now. Thanks to all my friends, clients and family for so much support. I will post a pic of the new addition when he arrives...

Featured in The Best of The Knot magazine!

Jennifer and Trent had such an amazing wedding...one of my all-time favorites. It was a great mix of country-chic. Jennifer was so creative and made a lot of the details herself. Their wedding was published in the Fall/Winter Real Weddings magazine last year. I was so thrilled that The Knot chose to feature one of their images in the Best of issue. The red vintage Chevy truck drove Jennifer right up to the top of the aisle (her father was driving). After the ceremony we had a great time taking some candids on it.

It's a BOY!




With my son Elliot, we decided to wait and be surprised to find out if he was a girl or a boy. This time, we thought we'd mix it up and go ahead and find out. I think part of my desire to know came from the fact that I was soooo sick my first trimester that I just needed to start thinking of this growing belly as a baby with a gender and name. It has been fun watching Elliot (my 5 year old) talk to my belly. He tells _____ (keeping the name a surprise) how much he loves him and that he can't wait for him to be here. I really did not think I wanted a girl, but I will admit I got a little chocked up when the doc said, "It's another boy!". I was like, "Can you just double check that?". This is definitely our last child, so I'll be the only female in the house for many years to come....maybe until I take on the role as mother-in-law who comes to live with her son? Anyways, I am so excited for Elliot to have a brother. Chris also wanted another boy (only because he said he would be too scared and worried about protecting a girl). They both really wanted a boy. As cliche as it sounds, I just hope for a happy and healthy baby. 8 weeks to go...

Cristina and James had a lovely wedding at the Barr Mansion (one of my favorite venues to photograph weddings at). As usual, Abbey at the Barr Mansion did a fantastic job and the organic catering was yummy! The navy blue and pink was a beautiful color scheme and a combination I don't see too much. Cristina was total joy to work with and James was one of those "go with the flow" laid back grooms. Congrats to both of you.

















I have seen this done a handful of times at weddings I've photographed. I think it's such an elegant but whimsical way to display table cards.










































I love it when couples wear fun shoes. It's all in the details...












My awesome assistant Brian took this timed exposure of the buffet line.








I just couldn't resist posting this one. Check out the girl in the back(?)

I recently met with a bride who was inquiring about our photo booth services so I decided to post a sample from Aimee and Steve's wedding. Photo booths are lots of fun and it's amazing how much all the guests, young and old, really enjoy it. We bring a white backdrop, lights and tons of fun props. We suggest having your booth open later on in your reception and keep it open for about an hour.

Here's the set up.
