And many thanks to Tisha McCuiston (www.tishamccuiston.com) for contributing many images to the slideshow.

Enjoy!!!!

Jeremy’s a dj, so I thought this ring shot was rather appropriate.;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by! ;-)  

Lexi spent A LOT of time planning out all of the details of the day and it showed.  The bouquets were amazing and vibrant.  The mustang they rode in to the reception was way cool.  The actual claw foot tub that held all of the beverages was such a creative touch.  And the table centerpieces that included different images from their engagement session were awesome!  She had all the details covered. 

I’m not quite finished editing all of the images from the wedding yet, but Lexi asked for a sneak peek, so that’s what she will get.;-)  There are far too many to choose from, and I’m not very good at narrowing down so I think I’ll close my eyes and point to images to include in this post.;-)  Ok, well I’m kidding….but I did have a super difficult time deciding what images to post.  Hope you enjoy these!

Once again, many thanks to the very talented Tisha McCuiston (www.tishamccuiston.com) for being my guest photographer for the day! 

The bridesmaid’s bouquets….

Lexi waiting to enter the church…

And I’ve seen this done before and have always wanted to try this….so fun.

I had fun playing with different treatmenst and textures on this one.;-)  And yes, that is the moon behind them. 

And last one for now….this was the end of the night and there was this amazing fog that lined the field out by the reception.  While the fog doesn’t show up in the images, I still think these shots turned out amazing and am so glad we ventured over that way for some more fun.

Thanks so much Lexi and Andy!  You guys are so awesome and we had a blast at your wedding!

Uh…..my blog has a mind of it’s own again!  Sorry for all the spacing between images!   Just keep scrollin’.;-)

And of course I had to get one the cutest little dogs.;-)

Love that little peek.;-)

This one is so cute to me b/c of his little fingers.  “Technically” he was 4 days old in this shot (if we’re going by hours in the day and not actual days…ha!).

Gotta love the fingers on this one too….

And last one…I could go on and on posting this little guy, but I’ll stop here!

Just want to remind everyone too, there is a very limited number of sessions available until the Holiday cut off. ;-)

Until next time…..

We’re also back from a much needed family vacation at the beach my friends and I’m ready to roll.  Relaxing was good and it was much needed, that’s for sure.  But of course it’s back to work and as a result of taking a few days off, I’ll definitely be working overtime to finish editing all of the sessions I packed in prior to vacation. 

Hope everyone had an awesome summer and is now enjoying their FALL!!!

I have yet to finish proofing all of the images from the day so I quickly pulled just a few of my favorites that I love.  There will be more to come when the editing is finished.  But for now, check these out!

Her bouquet kept with the “beach” theme by including some starfish tucked inside.

A detail shot of her dress…

The shells that were thrown in by the wedding party and guests…

You may remember that Jeff is a firefighter.  The day of their engagement session I saw his tattoo and had big plans for the wedding day to incorporate it into the portraits.  I love it…not only is it awesome, the meaning behind it is what makes it really special.  It reads, “Resurrected from the ashes to protect the brotherhood”.  Way cool…

And as Tisha will tell you, I’m a sucker for the detail shots…especially the ring shots!  I had this idea way before the wedding and could NOT wait to try it.  I love how it not only incorporates the rings, but the date and the setting as well.

And while I had the idea above for a while, it’s sometimes the unexpected things that turn up at weddings that work together for awesome images.  On the way to do the shot above, I noticed the lock below and knew immediately that I had to incorporate it into a shot.  I love the symbolization involved…to me, the lock represents the commitment that they each had just made to each other through marriage.

As mentioned previously, there are many more posts ahead, so keep checking back or even subscribe in the right hand column of the blog to receive email notifications each time I post!  Thanks for stopping by!

I’m going to start out by posting images from an incredible family session I did not too long ago.  These guys were AWESOME and then some.   They were such a genuinely sweet family and it was truly a joy to be able to spend the short time with them that I did during their session.  We met at a beautiful location in Ashland that mom had been raving about since we first discussed locations, and as soon as I arrived I totally saw why.  This place was so perfect for a family session.  There were so many interesting surroundings that made for gorgeous and interesting backdrops.  Of course I WISH I could show you all of the portraits from the session that boast the amazing surroundings, but I can’t…..I CAN however show you a lot of them!

His expression says it all.;-)

This one I fell in love with the second I snapped the shutter.   I adore her precious face!

The entire session, he was so entertained by these little things he called “pigs noses”.  It’s amazing how much they actually did resemble a pigs nose.  I love being able to see the world through kids eyes…if only through their thoughts.

There was so much history surrounding this house.  This was on the front porch so we used it for a few pics.  I can’t recall what this is used for back in the day…Marcy or Becca, you’ll have to refresh my memory!  I just thought it was so cool looking.

And this was an old chicken coop.  I don’t usually see too many of those so of course we had to incorporate that into the shoot.

As I said before, I’ve been busy!  My girlfriend Marta (www.martalocklear.com) and I even managed to squeeze in a seminar in D.C. with David Jay featuring Becker as a guest speaker.  It was so much fun and definitely informative as well as motivational.  It was just what I needed right then.   So if you’re a photog and you missed the tour, make sure you pick up the dvd’s.

Alright…I’m off for now….must get back to work.

See ya soon!;-)

Ok, so this Saturday these two will be tying the knot in a gorgeous riverside ceremony.  And yes, I am lucky enough to be documenting that day for them.  I cannot wait!!!  Here’s a little background on this gorgeous couple…Nikki is a fellow photographer here in Richmond and Jeff is a local firefighter.  As I said in my previous post (that just so happened to be of another photographer) there is much pressure involved when taking another photographer’s portraits, but it is so absolutely rewarding as well.  I LOVE being able to collaborate and come up with ideas together.  And sometimes they may look at ya like you’re crazy for suggesting a certain something but not often…they usually “get it” and can envision the outcome.   And as much as Nikki said she didn’t know what she was doing on the other side of the lens, I have to beg to differ because she rocked it over there!;-)   Heck, both of them did!  They were totally up for anything that I suggested and even came up with some ideas of their own.  We had such a blast exploring downtown Richmond together.  I’m sure those of you local to Richmond will recognize many of the spots where we were.  I love incorporating different aspects of the city into sessions, since after all, this city is a huge part of all of us!  And yeah, it makes for a pretty good backdrop too! 

We stopped by The Halligan Bar & Grill….a new place right by the Farmer’s Market that is decked out in the firefighters theme.  I mean, they covered every single detail in there and then some.  When you first walk in, you see part of an actual fire truck that was cut down and attached to the wall.  The lights above the bar are firemen’s helmets.  There are just so many cool touches that are most impressive and I certainly have not done it justice in describing the decor so check out the link to a local review here(http://www.richmond.com/restaurants-dining/24395).  You definitely need to go check it out!

Alright…on to the portraits from this awesome engagement session.  Yeah, there are a ton but hey, I just couldn’t help myself…I loved them all!  Hopefully you’ll see why and agree!;-)  Sorry about the crazy spacing between the images….not sure what the deal is, but I’ve just gotta deal with it for now!   

I’ve gotta give props to my girl Sandy (http://www.sandylandonphotography.com) for this pose.   Love it so much!  Check out her work…she’s amazing!

We stopped by the local train station for some shots.  It was my first time in there and I have to say I was most impressed with how gorgeous it was!

And Nikki came up with this shot…so fun!

And one of my faves is this one below.  This was the coolest spot and I had envisioned this image but didn’t know if it was possible as the concrete slabs were so far apart height wise, and they protruded out the same distance.  But of course Jeff was able to scale the wall and get up there.  Hey, being a firefighter has lots of perks, huh?

Thanks so much Nikki and Jeff!
