Happy Anniversary to Kira & John
They were married at the end of July last year. I can't say enough good things about them.They are a super-sweet couple and they had so much fun with the camera that day. Happy Anniversary, you two!

Here is their Storybook Album.
Another New Storybook Album Design!
This is Christy & Tristan's wedding album-- they had their reception at a later date. So I customized a package so they could have me for a few hours and still get a Storybook Album-- yay!




This is the first draft. I am now adding photos and pages to include all of their favorite pictures! Check back soon to see their final design.

Mindy & Rob's Storybook Album
It's here already! And they've only been married TEN WEEKS!!! (This is all part of my aim-to-please program! You see, instead of going to bridal shows and doing a lot of marketing, I focus on thrilling my current clients...who end up telling their friends about me!)

And doesn't the black & white photo on the black glove leather cover look sharp? They chose silver gilding (page edges) with silver embossing for their names.




See the rest of their album here.
Booked another wedding!
2008 is going to be another fabulous year, I can tell! Today I met with Jennifer who just got engaged 3 weeks ago. She's smart to get everything planned as soon as possible so she can just relax and enjoy her engagement. Dave proposed to her in a lighthouse and now they are starting to get a few lighthouse themed gifts-- how fun! So welcome to Jennifer & Dave who will be getting married this March. Jennifer knows me from THREE weddings where I was the photographer! Love that word-of-mouth, thanks to all my clients for spreading the news.

Another New Storybook Album Design!
This is Lindsey & Robbie's final album design. I love how the album shows off their venues (St. Francis of Assisi & The Henry Clay)-- AND, most importantly, how it captures their love for each other. When you view their album, I think you can see how much they love each other-- and what fun they had!!!




See the rest of their album here. The final album will be black glove leather with heavy non bendable pages that have been lacquer protected. These are beautiful library bound albums meant to be passed down for generations!

Erin & Tony's Wedding
I first met them at Laura & John's wedding in 2005. And I got to know them and son Kyle for their engagement/ family photo session in the park earlier this year. Their wedding and reception included Irish and Italian themes. The ceremony was at St. Mary's with the reception at Huber's.

Great shoes-- these are a pale pink, to match Erin's dress.

Erin gave Tony a watch and some Irish cuff links. He gave her some pretty earrings.

The dramatic aisle never looked better. Erin's mother of Marguerite's Flower Cottage did all the flower decorating.

At Huber's-- this should be on the cover of a romance novel!

Cake by Sullivan's Bakery (it was Italian cream- yum!)

They stood far apart in case the other tried to smash it!

Pinkie took this shot- I love how Tony is looking at her.

A lovely First Dance...

...right before they were ambushed! This is an Italian tradition where the couple is wrapped up in crepe paper-- it was quite entertaining.

More romance at Hubers!

The NEW custom guestbook!
WOW! Everyone seems to really like my latest-greatest offering: the all-custom guest book that is made up of YOUR photos from your engagement shoot! The possibilities for page layouts are unlimited: you can get with or without lines, different colored backgrounds and photo borders and more! Here is the book I did for Mindy & James:




I love that the pages are good quality non-bendable. This is something that couples will probably keep out long after they are married. The cover is available in black or brown and you can get your names or wedding date in gold or silver.

See all of Mindy & James brand-new custom guest book here.

I'm working on their Storybook Album design right now. Meanwhile, here are some of the many photos from their amazing day! (I just love the khaki tuxes, don't you?)

More pics from Lindsey & Robbie's Big Day
They made it so easy for me-- a gorgeous church, scenic stop along the river, and then the breathtaking Henry Clay! On top of that, they were a fun couple who either smiled or laughed all day!!

Click on their collage to enlarge.

And their Storybook Album is complete but they are out of town all week. Once they have seen it, I will post it here. I REALLY like their album design and I think you will, too.

Booked another wedding!
I so enjoyed meeting with Dana and her mom yesterday. They are both as sweet as can be. And Blake sounds like such a romantic-- he surprised her by just slipping the ring on her finger while she was sleeping!!! Awwww. They are planning a wedding for June and this Fall we will be doing their engagement photos in the park.

And Dana had this nifty tote bag-- I just had to take a picture of it. She's using it for all her wedding planning stuff. You can get your own here.

It sure seems like everyone is planning their 2008 wedding NOW. Be sure to check my Dates Booked to see if your date is still open.

Melissa & Josh's finished Storybook Album design!
This is the wedding that starts out with their ENGAGEMENT pictures! They wanted to add a few more of their favorite pictures (which turned out to be a couple pages!) AND wanted to show off more of the awesome Speed Museum where they had their reception.

Here's one of the extra pages I made for them:

They chose to upgrade to the very touchable black suede cover. I will be sure to photograph their album when it comes in!

They only got married on June 15th and will have their album by the end of next month--yay!!!

Karen & Greg's final album (already ordered!)

There were hardly any changes to the original design-- we redesigned the cake page to include more of their favorite pictures and that was about it. They picked the glove brown leather cover and this photo for the front.

So here is their album design already (married June 9th!)

Melissa & Josh's Storybook Album!!!
Here is a new album design--- this one has chapters and is so cool. I really wanted to capture their great chemistry together. Melissa & Josh booked me a year ago and I have so enjoyed getting to know them. They seem to share a special bond--magical-- as I titled their first page....!



As you can see, I included their ENGAGEMENT PICTURES in the wedding album!!! Check out their complete album here.
