I had the pleasure of photographing little Hannah’s parent’s wedding, and now of their little bundle of joy. Hannah is one of those babies that you can tell just by looking that she’s a dainty little girl with those little rosebud lips. She is the light of Bob and Tawny’s life!

A toast by the best man, sitting on top of the world!

The maid of honor spotted a ladybug in the bride’s bouquet.

The wedding vows evoked much emotion, especially from the groom!

As a wedding photographer, I come across many situations where the bride/groom weren’t aware of certain things — and I love the opportunity to help out by pointing out things, like, for instance, the positioning of the wedding arch (like – where will the sun be . . . what is in the background . . . ).

Something that I’ve been noticing is that many wedding dresses get picked up and brought to the dressing room on a generic hanger – and often times it is in a hotel room with no other choices.  SO.  Put it on your list of things to do . . . find a pretty hanger!

There are lots of places on line where they can be found. Here is just one link:

Here is a quick tip for help planning time for your group shots. Think about who you want included – then plan out the groupings. You probably want to start with the largest group and then keep whittling them down to the smallest. Write each group down on paper. Next – think of someone in your party who knows most of the people in the groups and who is good at commanding attention and ask them to be in charge of calling out each group. Give the people in the group a heads up on the timeline. You would be surprised how chaotic things can get after the ceremony.  One more thing – it helps to have arranged hors d’oeuvres  and beverages for the people who will be waiting while the photos are being taken.

So I now have a new website and have begun posting my slideshows and photo-books here on my blog. That is the part of my business that I find tedious and sometimes confounding – the technical part. So it will probably take a bit of time for me to get it “together.”
