The past few months have been quite busy, including several weddings and the purchase of our next “house”! (more on that later) This past weekend I had the great privilege of photographing Liz and Tim, a very sweet (and stylish) couple who quite obviously love life and each other.

Once upon a time (this past weekend) there was a charming couple that decided to get married and do it with style.

The bride had her fairytale dress and glass slippers, disguised as adorable black peep-toe heels.

In her hair she wore a white feather piece that caused all who saw her to swoon.

The bridesmaids had pink peony bouquets and the groomsmen had pink ranunculus boutonnieres.

The reception was decorated in classy black and white with hints of pink.

Everything smacked of Gatsby-esque style, down to the black satin-draped cocktail tables and glassy pink drinks.

Laughter floated on the air as guests dined and toasts were given.

To add to the charm of the evening, a live band crooned as the newlyweds floated across the dance floor, surrounded by admiring friends and family.

The day was a complete success thanks to the couple’s impeccable taste, and they (and their wedding photographer) lived happily ever after.

Despite howling winds, pelting rain and less-than-pleasant temperatures, Mark and Kendra braved the elements for their “save-the-date” photoshoot in Michigan this past weekend. Poor Kendra had popsicle feet, but they were great sports about it and I think we got some winners!

Although I haven’t been shooting weddings during the long winter months, I have been pretty busy with the camera. Here are a few of the fun side projects that hadn’t made their way onto the blog yet!
