Jess and Shelby Cummings' Wedding Day

Sunday May 1st was the wedding day of Jessica Shelburg and Shelby Cummings. They got ready at the Hyatt Hotel. Jessica chose a beautiful shirred satin fitted gown in which she looked absolutely stunning! Shelby met Jessica in the hotel room for their first moment, followed by some portraits in the foyer and grand hallway before going to a part area downtown for some outdoor portraits. The ceremony was held on the west veranda of the Boathouse. Daughter Dylan was a big part of the day including the ceremony. Single carnations were tossed by the guests as the couple exited down the aisle! The reception included a delicious italian buffet, with cake, champagne, and dancing till after sunset. A beautiful wedding indeed!

James and Amanda's Engagement Portraits

I really enjoyed the engagement portrait sesion of James and Amanda. They are actually getting married in Jamaica but wanted some engagement portraits here. We met downtown and they had some fun ideas they shared which we incorporated in. I think we all had a blast doing this session. This couple has been together over 10 years, and it was so neat to see how in love they are! Being so comfortable with each other made my job easy! Congratulations James and Amanda! P.S. I still think you should take me along to Jamaica!!!

Felicia and Andrew Harwell's Wedding Day

I was so excited when Felicia asked me to photograph her wedding to Andrew on 4/30/11. I have had the pleasure of working with her family before - both for sister Megan's wedding and brother Cale's wedding. The bridesmaid gowns were a beautiful eggplant color and the gorgeous flowers were all designed by sister-in-law Renee, who is a very talented florist.
I loved the bright green and purples in the bouquets! Felicia was stunning in her beautiful halter-style gown as she walked down the aisle with her dad to greet Andrew at the altar. After the ceremony, the wedding party enjoyed a fun ride in the trolley to a short photo session at Andover's park before arriving at Terradyne for an evening of celebration, food, fun, and dancing. Congratulations Felicia and Andrew, and thank you!

Waiting for Callie

It was so exciting to get together with Kristin and Phil Van Court a few weeks ago at Botanica to photograph them before the arrival of baby Callie! They are definately up there at the top of my most favorite couples list! I first photographed them for their engagement and wedding a few years ago! For this session, Kristin looked glowing and beautiful as usual, and Phil could hardly contain his excitement. Now Sneebie....that's another story. I think he knew something was up and just had a feeling he was going to be moved over and replaced by a precious little princess because he was less than enthusiastic about our photo session! I look forward to photographing Callie as she grows. And yes, Sneebie, I'm sure we'll be including you in the photos too!
