Getting ready for the first look!

I always love the stark contrast between the women getting ready and the men. This bride had a small army of family and friends getting ready in one house. There was so much energy and excitement it was contagious...never mind a really good playlist jammin. The guys were totally chillin watching ESPN, throwing back a few..ok maybe a couple. I suppose I'm sorta a sucker for the sister shots..I grew up with brothers so..while it was awesome I suppose I always wonder what sisterhood would have been like...looks like it was fun! The bride caught on that I really loved photographing her curlers...but she looks so darn pretty like a movie star behind set! We also set up a Daddy first look..because hey he earned this and he was her first man.  The gold flowers were so unique and fun..just like this couple and accented this perfect fall day. This couple was extremely flexible and handled a slight snag with the party bus. I do think my ability to shift gears come from two places... motherhood and also working as a teacher. This first look "plan b" idea in opinion worked out exactly how it was supposed to...with a  little help from the best man and bridal party...using the ol neighborhood that they both grew up in as a backdrop...it turned out quite sweet and nods to the history they share. Ok after all this... it is still time to GET MARRIED...put on those watches, get in that car. It's time to get hitched. One more private kiss by the gate before you share the day with all of your loved ones! Stay tuned because the party is just getting started....

Life is in the details... here's to the NEW Mr. and Mrs. B!

I had the honor of assisting Rachel Leib Photography (www.rachelleib.com) at this beautiful wedding. My focus was on the details. This was a great opportunity for me to photograph and not have to be concerned with the whole picture, but small details of the big picture The new Mr. and Mrs. B are teachers, so as place cards they used #2 pencils in Mason Jars with tags that directed guests to an assigned table. Each table was named after a class written on a chalk board...of course I was partial to art class...but of course. One of the many hats I wear is that I am also an art teacher. The beautiful purple and yellow flowers (complementary colors for my art students out there) were stunning. I am always impressed with the shoes women wear. I myself have never been able to wear heels....they are so darn pretty, so I had to grab a photograph of them. The groomsmen were given these awesome beer mugs that looked like wood and yes I  do really like the hand tattoo.
