OK, so yesterday I was driving down the road. Some “me” time was much needed. And as I was driving, thinking about my business and what I can do to improve and grow, it dawned on me… I am really doing this. I am a professional photographer. I do what I love! I set a goal and I am achieving that goal. It was a very humbling moment. Because when I think about my life, and where I should be versus where I am today I know that it is ONLY by God’s grace that I am where I am today. The feeling of gratitude that came over me at that moment is something I just felt I should share. Thank you Lord! I am so blessed!
So, now on to the matter at hand… Scott and Jessica.
Jessica is clearly a natural beauty. Classic and classy! In as much as each bride is different so is each wedding. Knowing that Jessica was a little more traditional, I made an extra effort to incorporate classic portraiture into her collection. My goal as a photographer is to not only capture the moment but to also create timeless images that I know will appeal to each individual bride based on their style and who they are as people. I think we accomplished this for Scott and Jessica. Their wedding was at the always beautiful Litchfield Country Club. The weather was beautiuful. The azaleas were beautiful. And Scott and Jessica’s obvious true love for one another was also beautiful.
Thank you so much for trusting us to document one of the most important days of your lives!
ENJOY!

Let me start by saying that I am a little bit OCD. I am one of those people who will address an envelope 5 times if the address looks crooked. I’ve always been like that. It has taken me a little bit of time to figure out this whole blog posting thing and now I think I’ve got it down packed. I will repost all of the weddings that I have taken down. I just want everything to look “perfect”… I know I’m wacky, but I’ve accepted it so let’s get on to the real matter at hand.

Meg and Jared tied the knot on March 21st, 2009 (I know it was 3 months ago… remember the OCD thing). I LOVE LOVE LOVE Meg. Her wedding was the perfect example of letting go and letting the pros do what they do. The flowers (Marc Gladden), the food, the dress (Kleinfelds, NYC), the shoes (Gucci platforms baby) were all amazing. The house, the church, the weather and the DJ… all perfect for their special day. Meg’s dress was by far the most beautiful I have ever seen: Dupioni silk, crumb catcher, mermaid… fit like a dream. Thank you Jimbo for convincing her to turn that cab around and “Say YES to the dress”.

Meg and Jared, thank you so much for trusting me with your legacy. It was an honor to meet your families and document this very special (and long overdue) day of your life! I love you both and am proud to call you my friends.

This is by far one of my favorite photos from the day.  The way Jared is tenderly helping her down the steps and the way her dress is moving… what a beautiful moment!
