Ok, so in all my years, I have never actually been shaking when I bride walked down the isle. It was raining outside during the ceremony and I was FLIPPING out…It only drizzled, but hey it’s good luck for the happy couple!

So, pictures!

Just a few to hold them over!

Today’s bridal session with Stefanie:)

a couple of things about Stefanie:

She has a very “regal” appearance. No matter what I had in me, it would not let me photographer her being cute. We did get a couple of “cute” photos, but when you see her, she just looks “refined” versus cute. Either way, these are just a few of my favorites from the shoot…quite a bit lower key than I normally do…but it REALLY suited her and the location:

There is a lot to post…I have let my fans down by not keeping this updated over the last few weeks, but I am sure you all know, I have had a LOT going on!

Ok, so…I don’t even know how far back I need to post from!
I think I last left off with Amanda and Eric’s shoot…so I will pick up with the next shoot:
Mankin Mansion. The biggest problem I encountered here was the wind, which incidentally blew one of my lights over and it crashed down and bent up my only white translucent umbrella…

Either way, got some great shots of this gorgeous redhead on a giant chessboard. I want to go back one day and do a really edgy shoot on it:

went inside and got this fabulous shot of her at the piano:

and one more:

and I probably should post her favorite:

Ok, now…

The weekend before, I did have a wedding! How could I forget! Seriously, the MOST fun wedding I have been to. I wanted to actually get on the dance floor and dance! Nothing like a bunch of Latino’s throwing down!

oh, and I shot these other shots of some cuties…I love having my strobes with me at weddings—adds a new fun element to photographing the average wedding!

ok, so after that, I had 2 weddings back to back…caused me to be backed up in my post processing with 3 weddings, 2 engagement shoots and a bridal session all at once! But, I am just about caught up…so anyway, here are a few from Christa and Jonathan’s June 6 wedding:

Then, I had shannon and chris’s wedding. Firstly OMG it was SOOOOOOOO hot. I cannot even tell you. Everyone was getting testy—even me! I was turning into a bossy lady! Imagine that! But, honestly, I think that shannon and everyone else will agree that every thing was more than worth it, because the shots we got at this wedding really blew ME away:

ok, and then, after shannon, I had amanda and brian! Ok, again…I had a 3 day run with being in the worst conditions ever…heat, sweat, bugs. But this one, was the worst. The may flies were so thick in the air….oh it was horrible. But we went ahead with the deed…and Amanda and Brian cranked out some great shots!

and of course, I have more stuff from today….and from other stuff…wow. Yeah, so this will do for now!

ok, really words cannot even describe how gorgeous this girl is. I mean, lets face it girls, guys are just accessories; handbags to our lives. I know, I am mean. However, men really do realize that it’s the women that shine, and not the men:) hehe. I am so kidding, but not really.

/wink.

So today, I shot Amanda and Eric. After a much needed perfect shoot, I think I nailed it with this couple. Talk about sexy—sultry—romantic—and ultimate hotness.
I am only posting one here, but really—this is the only one they need.

Oh, and btw. I saw a snake—I think it was a water moccosin. My lovely and dear friend, helped me with this shoot. We were SKEEEEEEEEEEERED!
