Zani

Sometimes you get to photograph people who have especially personal reasons for wanting the images. I'm always really sensitive to that when I'm shooting, and hopeful that the images capture what their spirit was seeking. Zani was one of those, and all her beautiful tattoos were imbued with meaning. I often wonder what a difference it would make in each of our lives if we could see ourselves less with our own self-critical eyes, and more through the eyes of others and what they appreciate us for.

Jil + Corey

OK, I know it's been forever since I've posted, but it was a particularly busy season for me, and despite my promise to myself that I would hire someone this year, it somehow slipped by and then, well, it was just too late to take that on. So, I will be trickling out some posts over the holiday season to try to catch up at least a tiny bit.
This wedding had so many images I loved, that even as long as this post is, these are just a few of the highlights. Jil and Corey were so much fun to photograph. We were short for time on the portraits, but Jil is such a beautiful model that I'm going to drag her out again (and hopefully Corey too) come spring to do more bridal concept shots.
One of my favorite moments of this wedding was when the ringbearer suddenly came barreling down the aisle just before the exchange of rings. To say he adores Corey is an understatement - he just couldn't help himself. It was just so cool how they rolled with it, laughing, and incorporated him into the ceremony.
Jil and Corey, I truly felt blessed to be part of your day. You are two very special people.
Oh - and a shout out to the amazing Kaily Fitzgerald who coordinated everything and did all the beautiful arrangements, and to Beach Castle Sweets who, let me just say, make the most ridiculously delicious handmade chocolates ever to pass your lips. I was laying in bed catatonic after the wedding, devouring all the ones I made off with.....wishing I had grabbed more. YUM.
