I’m really excited to make this post and share this awesome wedding with all of you! Many of you remember Nicole and Scott from their wedding back in May of 2007 that was on the blog, their engagement shoot perhaps that’s in the studio, or maybe their day after shoot that’s on the cover of my website. If none of those…. then perhaps from when they were on the back cover of national magazine Bride and Bloom? Yea ok you get the point. Very good friends of mine at this point and I’ve been fortunate enough to start shooting some of their friend’s weddings as well.
Meghan was actually in Nicole’s wedding so this wedding definitely took on a special meaning for me. Her, Farnaz, and Nicole are more friends for me now than clients so I knew Alisha and I had to be especially on our game this past Saturday (no pressure of course).
I knew things were going to be awesome though when I showed up and Meghan’s mother gave me a tour of the house and essentially indicated that everything had been set up (even the Christmas tree) to let in the most natural light for the photos. Yes my photo friends, I do live in heaven with the weddings I shoot.
As you all know I’m a huge fan of a toast in the morning
I LOVE this shot of Meghan as she arrives at the church
It was a good ceremony that made people laugh several times
Classic
This was our first portrait session of the night. This was the only one we had planned, but we got a surprise later :)
I loved the little ornamental place card holders
I don’t normally post “formal” shots on the blog, but since this is the longest entry of the year why not? I just want people out there to know that even though “photojournalism” is all the rage I’m always happy to take any and all formal shots that people want. No matter how small or large.
Finally as we were deep into the reception as if on demand it just started absolutely snowing hard. It was coming down. What do Meghan and John want to do immediately? “Let’s go out for some portraits!”
I love it!
I have to admit, a couple of these shots I swiped from Alisha since she hasn’t posted this yet. I don’t normally do that but there was just no way I could help myself, she was on fire on Saturday and her stuff was amazing. It’s so funny to me how far she’s come in such a short while. I mean she isn’t just good now, she’s downright insane with the camera. She blows my mind with the stuff she shoots so a couple are hers.
Thank you to Meghan and John for having us at your wedding, and for trusting us with such a huge day in your life. I’m lucky to have you both as friends and can’t wait to continue to see you both and spend time together in the future!
