More to come from this shoot soon! I just thought since turning 1 is such a big accomplishment, Mason deserved a post of his own.

Teasers - Jane and Ron's Trash the Dress

Yesterday I shot Jane and Ron's Trash the Dress session in Washington, DC. The thing about DC is that one has to have a license to photograph on/around the monuments. And this photographer right here, lacks said license. So, instead we took as many shots as we could before someone would inevitably come and chase us away. We just had to make sure we did not get chased away by the same person more than once.

The first place we tried not to kicked out of is the Jefferson Memorial. Thought we owed it to Jefferson to let him be a focal point of this first one.

Moving around the side of the memorial made it a little better.

But you see...Jane is laughing above because poor Ron got his nice suede jacket pooped on by a bird. So, it wasn't all that much better after all.

IMG_3898

So we ditched the jacket and got some portraits.

I like this one. Ron is leaning in and Jane is still looking at him. So cute.

Then we wandered over to the Capitol building.

And Library of Congress.

But my favorites are the street and neighborhood photos.

Wedding Invitations!

Have I mentioned that I am going to Mexico to photograph a wedding and to vacation in less than 40 days? Well. I am. And I am so excited about it.

One of the things I love about my job other than the job myself, is being included in things like the invitations and save the dates and all that jazz. I love it.

The Mexico wedding invites went out a few weeks ago and I have been meaning to put up photos of them. I'm so excited about all the Day of the Dead "stuff" associated with this wedding. It is going to be amazing!

These were made by Kindly R.S.V.P. designs

Teasers - Jane and Ron!

Jane and Ron are married! And I was fortunate enough to be the one to photograph it all. As usual, I had a great time shooting some relaxed portraits, amazing details and real moments.

A bride who chooses flats is smart. Especially super cute ones.

There were six flower girls. Six! You'll see them later. For now you just get to see the shoes they will eventually grow into.

The bridesmaid's bouquets were gorgeous! The colors were tremendous and wonderful to photograph.

IMG_2603

IMG_2607

The bride's bouquet - also stunning.

IMG_2625

Jane seemed super relaxed which made the day just so much more laid back. And she is just so nice. Such a wonderful person to be around all day.

IMG_2531

I loved the wedding emergency kit! Came in handy.

IMG_2521

The ladies getting ready. I just love them in black and white.

This is the maid of honor. She was an absolute doll but then again so were Jessica, Chris, and Daphne.

IMG_2721copy

This is Jane's momma helping her get ready. Also one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met. I really honestly could not ge over how nice everyone was.

After Jane was all dolled up, we went to the courtyard where the groom saw her for the first time. I loved it. But honestly can't decide whether I like the color or black and white one better. So, they get both. :-)

Then the picture taking really got underway! The sun was bright but this spot was so perfect.

Look at all these little girls!!! How cute?

And this little monster! (This is Gabriel, from the Lee Family Photos earlier this year! I have to thank them, they are how Jane and Ron heard about me.)

After lunch and nap time, the ceremony got underway. This one was tuckered out.

I liked their rings. Very simple but made...with love.

IMG_3324

The details in the reception were beautiful. It felt like fall and smelled delicious. Mmm...carrot cake.

IMG_3337

After the recption, everyone got bells to ring as they made their getaway.

Thanks so much, Jane and Ron! I had a wonderful day!
