sahar and samad | part 1

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

I am sooo excited to share the nikah (a Pakistani wedding ceremony) of Sahar and Samad with you. I anxiously awaited this event for MONTHS!

I absolutely love the Naem family-so hospitable and friendly. Thank you for allowing me into your home to capture Sahar’s getting ready process.

The process actually started 4 days before the wedding when Sahar went to have her Mehndi (or Henna) done.

.

Then, the big day..

.

I just love the extra dimension that the henna adds to all the pictures

Sahar’s sister, Saman, touches up her make-up

LOVE!!!

Many more of these shots, but Sahar removed her head scarf to finish getting ready and I agreed not to share those.

Elegant-right?

Mom helps pin the scarf

.

Sana and Saman finish the job.

Timeless

GAH! So beautiful!!!

.

The infamous ring shot

Before we left, Sahar’s mother copied down a prayer to ward of nazar (or the evil eye).

Come back soon for the actual nikah photos!

bianca and david

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

As I mentioned in this post, I have had the privilege of photographing Bianca through all of her important life milestones-and was happy to continue that tradition by shooting her wedding last month. Thank you Bianca, for being such a loyal client!

On the left is Bianca’s Maid of Honor, Laura, who I have also “shot” on mulitiple occasions. Check them out here.

While the girls were finishing up, I headed to the church to get a few shots of the guys.

One of my favorites from the day.

Expressive, much? I love Bianca’s face while looking at her dad in the bottom-middle photo.

In all of its out-of-focus glory, I love this one

Cake time!

One of the most entertaining cake cuttings I have witnessed. Bianca, you crack me up.

The end. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Lagunas.
Romantics were postponed due to rain and we are shooting them at a later date. Stay tuned.

sneak peek | forest blvd. wedding

Friday, August 14th, 2009

I know this isn’t a shot from the actual wedding or of the people actually in it- but I just love detail shots. At times, I feel like they help tell the story better than the “big picture” shots.

These two handkerchiefs belonged to Bianca’s grandmother and great-grandmother-they used these same kerchiefs at their own weddings.

kelly and troy | part 2

Monday, August 10th, 2009

So the ceremony ends and Troy says “Let’s get a beer!”

And we did

(photos by Mason)

.

Then it was time to order..Kelly and Kael weren’t all that impressed by the day’s specials. “Can we just have a hamburger??”

and some more drinks?

.

They opted for steak, rather than a hamburger. (photos by Mason)

Uh-oh, someone is tired…

Kelly looking beautiful- with her fancy bib

The girls

This is the current background on my computer..

Can’t forget the bouquet toss! Random, yes.

and more rings

We didn’t stay long back there.. smelled like fish

Mason nabbed this beauty.

II absolutely love when by brides provide me with plenty of time for romantics. We had nearly 2 hours to just take pictures.. AWESOME! Thank you so much Kelly.

.

Two of my favorites of Kelly and Troy-the colors are just so dreamy

And this series makes my heart palpate

Kael wasn’t so keen on having his picture taken

.

A beautiful ending to a beautiful day

Congrats Kelly and Troy! Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day.

kelly and troy | part 1

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Oh the powers of Facebook. That’s how Kelly found me and proceeded to ask me to photograph her wedding. Kelly and I went to high school together. I was a sophomore when she was a senior. In most schools we probably would not have known that the other existed- but considering we went to school in the middle-of-nowhere, KS and only had 200 some odd students at our school-that was not the case. I was a cheerleader, Kelly the volleyball and basketball player. She was cool- I wasn’t, really

Anywho, I was honored (ok, SUPER PSYCHED) when Kelly told me her and Troy were getting married in Florida and would I be interested in photographing their private little wedding? DUH!!!

Mason and I made the 6.5 hour trek down to to Captiva Island to shoot their wedding at the Tween Waters Inn. What a gorgeous day!

Like, the most beautiful dress, EVER!

Oh, I forgot to mention that Tessa, also from out high school was there as the sole guest (plus her boyfriend) of the wedding. I’m pretty sure Kelly and Tessa are like BFF.

Getting ready pictures are my faaavorite.

HELLOOO beautiful bride!

Troy seeing Kelly for the first time. Then, he met her halfway down the “isle”– SOO SWEET (photos by Mason)

Stay tuned for more pictures at the reception and some lovely romantic shots in “part 2″!

jennifer & adrian | a castle wedding

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

It was quite the adventure getting to this out-of-the-way castle…including off-roading in my Toyota Yaris. The difficulty finding the place was most definitely worth it. Jennifer and Adrian had a beautiful, storybook wedding- complete with castle and horse and carriage.

Mason documented the guys getting ready. I really love all 4 of these.

Jennifer got a little choked up when she looked out the window and saw the horse and carriage.

Mason shot the first two colored images, I shot the black and white ones.

This fabulous image, by Mason

Left photo by Mason.

Top left and center and bottom left and center images by Mason.

The top two are Mason’s shots.

Post-ceremony carriage ride.

The cakes

Delicious food

Some dancing

And a lot of fun…

Congratulations Jennifer and Adrian!!

michelle & reed | savannah wedding

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Michelle and I met while taking a course together at the University of North Florida. We made contact again when she showed up as an intern at the health department (the same internship that I had). Michelle and Reed are having a “real” wedding in October with friends and family- but first they wanted a ceremony all their own. Mason and I travelled to Savannah with them to capture their special day and to take “engagement” photos. This was the first time we collaborated on a shoot-and I am so very happy with the results. The pictures on this post are a mix of shots that we both took. You can see more of Mason’s work on his website.
