HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!

Melissa and Todd marked our last wedding of the year and let me tell you, we ended this year with a bang. Melissa and Todd are SUCH an amazing couple. The day was full of laughter, tears and you guessed it…some amazing pictures (ohh that sounded a bit full of myself…sorry about that). Anyway, here are a few of my favorites, from the day.

Melissa had a pair of beautiful Manolo Blahnik shoes.

Man she’s beautiful…

I love this moment when her dad saw her for the first time.

Then it was Todd’s turn to see Melissa for the first time.

One of my favorite things about Melissa and Todd is how they look at each other.

After the “reveal” we headed outside for some outside pictures. Melissa and Todd were troopers, it was 33 degrees and WINDY which felt more like 20 degrees!

Snuggle in TIGHT!!!

Love it!

We had to warm up…so we headed to the Union Station for some pix.

Todd (aka Ken) is out of this world HANDSOME!!

Melissa (aka Barbie) you are seriously B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!

Meow freakin Meow Meow. GET IT!!! :)

This is probably one of the most amazing moments of the day. A few weeks before Melissa and Todd’s wedding Melissa’s dad had gotten very sick. We weren’t sure if he was going to be able to walk his baby girl down the isle. As you can see, he’s an amazing man - he walked her down the isle. It was a moment I will never forget.

I LOVE THIS CHURCH!

How amazing did their reception look?? Wowza!

Yummy!

I love these two!!! SOOO happy.

The youngest addition to the family. Totally cute, he even had a tux!! Grandma and Grandpa aren’t proud at all!

Melissa and Todd - thank you for asking Aaron and I to be a part of your wedding day. I love you both VERY much.

So a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to work it out with the SUPER DUPER fabulous McKenzie.  About 10 minutes before we started shooting it POURED down rain but quit right when we needed it to. Despite the chilly air, and the wet ground, McKenzie was a ROCK star! Here are some of my favorites!!

Um…hello amazing shoes!!

Those eyes….ARE KILLER!

I’m not mad you are so cute.

MMMEEEOOOWWW!!

Serious Fav!!

McKenzie - thanks for asking me to be the one to take your Senior pictures! You and your family is AMAZING!

A few weeks ago I got an email from a photographer in the United Kingdom that he wanted to interview me for his website. Not only was I excited to be interviewed, but the interviewer, Crash Taylor, is a photographer I’ve admired for some time now.  You can only imagine my response…OF COURSE! It’s so surreal to see my pictures next to other photographers who in my book are OVER THE TOP amazing.

Crash, thanks for asking me to be interviewed. I think your interviews are very insightful and your work is inspiring. I’m so blessed to have had this opportunity. Thank you.

For all my blog readers out there…head on over to his site and check out the interview. It’s a long read, but there are pretty pictures there too!! You never know…it might be one of your pictures!  Oh and - if you really love me, leave a comment. You know how excited I get about comments!!

The moment I sat down with Andrea I knew that she was the perfect fit for me.  I could make a laundry list a hundred miles long why I love her (and the WHOLE WEDDING PARTY) but for now…I’ll cut the talk and show you the pictures. I will forewarn all of you…I did some MAD portraits on this weddings, so you’re going to see a lot of them.

Isn’t she BEA-UTI-FUL!!!!

The flower girls were SOO CUTE! They were twins! And they LOVED getting dressed up!

The ladies. Man I love these girls. I miss them.

Work it out boys…work it out.

Michael’s ring was one of my favorite rings ever! It was made of links like a watch and collapsed.

Ohh..I love it.

Love this moment at the Ceremony. They are so amazing together.

This next series is one of my favs…I love the connection these two have!!

This is SOOO Andrea.

Makes me smile. How about you?

These next two of Andrea were so beautiful…I had to post them both!

Michael no one is mad at you for being so good looking. So don’t worry.

As the sun was setting we headed down to the 12th street bridge and broke out some HCP magic.

MMMMEEEOOOWWW!!!

After we got done playing around downtown, we headed to the President Hotel for a BEAUTIFUL reception.

The decorations were AMAZING!!!

Again, SOOO Andrea and Michael….

and then…… so is this…

Andrea’s dad sang her a song for their father daughter dance. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house (including mine).

Towards the end of the night, the entire wedding party did a choreographed number. It was AWESOME!

Thank you Andrea & Michael for asking me to be a part of your day. I had a blast from start to finish and I hope you did too. Thank you to both moms for welcoming me, and making me feel like I was one of your own.

Love you,

Me
