Diana + Michael • e-session

Diana and Michael are getting married next May, and I met them waaaay back in November on the loop for their engagement session - my last of the year, in fact :) It's been a long time and they have both been VERY patient, but I finally have something for them to look at. I'm pretty proud of them, and I hope they like them.

yep - they're dog lovers too! I'm so lucky to have such awesome and fun clients :)

This is Micelli. She's beautiful, and her one floppy ear is her best attribute :)

This is Ari. I think he's happy - what do you think?

definitely one of my favorites - the colors, the light . . . everything!

another favorite - Diana, you're beautiful! For realz.

they had a cute idea for their save the dates - this one's an outtake :)

such good puppies! the perfect sign holders :)

dang. she has such gorgeous eyes.

I love these photos in black and white - A LOT - but the red is so pretty I had to throw it in too.

the sun was my best friend that day :)

The End! Look out for their wedding on - you guessed it - May 1, 2010!

Heather + Eric : part 1

Heather and Eric were married a few weeks ago with a lovely evening ceremony. They had enough forethought though - they scheduled a combo engagement/bridal/bride & groom session a few weeks before the wedding, so we'd have plenty of daylight and time to do them justice :) I'm so glad they did! They now have LOTS of portraits of them together as bride and groom, and they day of their wedding wasn't rushed or hurried to try to fit them in before it got really dark outside.
We met at Forest Park, and they brought their new addition to their growing family:

this is Lisel. she's adorable. and very tiny.

oh my.

I couldn't resist grabbing some portraits of her, but then back to business :) We did their mini engagement session:

then a quick change and we took some bridals of the lovely Heather:

I LOVE her dress - the lace is so delicate and looks very vintage [and very me :)]

another 'oh my.' she also has a weakness for shoes - I feel for her :)

the lace looks gorgeous in black and white, but her eyes are electric turquoise! I had to keep it in color.

such a handsome groom :)

favorite!

I really like this one - it reminds me of a portrait from the 20s - classic :)

The End! Next up is their beautiful and elegant wedding :)

Fran + Charlie

I love this couple :) They're so fun, easy to talk to, and have great and unique style. Not to mention they gave me a glass of wine, some good cheese and bread [more on that later].
We met at Forest Park on a cloudy day, but luckily no rain to bum us out - and we got a lot of great shots:

LOVE her dress!

I love all of this next series!

favorite of the day. hands down.

gettin' crazy! I was inspired by a recent Anthropologie catalog [the COOLEST catalog, btw]

so cute together :)

they both have great smiles ;)

Then they set up for their picnic - SO CUTE! And awesome. . .this is where the cheese and wine came into play :)

:)

The End!

These two are going to have a really cool, intimate wedding in August and I can't wait!
I fully expect you to hold your breath and wait for it.


just kidding. sort of.
