When you’re in love…

July 5, 2009

You’re in love. No ifs, ands or buts about it. That’s just the way it is. Sometimes you long for someone to love and search desperately for “the one”. Sometimes love just has a way of finding you when you least expect it…

That’s what happened to Marisela and Anthony.. love found its way into their hearts and changed their lives forever…

She had just left the Air Force and was happy to be home. The last thing that was on her mind was finding love…

He met her through family and friends. They chatted online and would occasionally bump into one another. They quickly became friends and talked about their lives, dreams and goals.

He soon after joined the Army and left for boot camp. While he was gone, she realized just how much she really cared about him. A letter was written and so their love story begins…

Since he’s stationed in North Carolina, their relationship has been a long distance one. One that’s about to be even longer as he is getting ready for deployment… They knew that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together so they got married and here we are today…

I was asked to capture their love in images while he was home on leave and I was more than happy to oblige. :)

Marisela and Anthony, I hope you have many blessed years together… :) Thank you for allowing me to create these for you… Enjoy!

The Guest Book

June 10, 2009

Remember Jacqueline & Oliver?  

This super sweet couple ordered one of my favorite albums of all time to use as their guest sign in book.  One of the reasons I love making these books is that it is so much more fun and personal to be able to sign a book displaying the couple’s favorite images from their engagement session.  Kind of like a yearbook… only better.  :)  This is a custom designed album that is a collaboration of their ideas, wants & needs along with my design ideas and expertise.  It was a lengthy project but one that I enjoyed immensely!  

My moment of satisfaction came upon delivery when Jacqueline was all smiles… :)

One of the nice things about this style of guest book is that when the wedding is over, you can display this album as a coffee table book and continually recount the memories of your attending guests as well as your engagement photos. It’s a great memory keeper…

Here is a small peek at their album…

Kassandra & Rob = ENGAGED!

April 29, 2009

Meeting through mutual friends, they joke that one wouldn’t leave the other alone.  Whatever the case may be though, it must have worked!  They are now officially engaged and ready to be married!  :)  

The chemistry this couple shares is truly joyous… being around them is fun and you can’t help but laugh along with them!  

Kassandra and Rob, thank you for a great session!  I know you were a little iffy with some of my crazy requests… (especially Rob! lol!)  but THANK YOU for cooperating with me and trusting me to capture this time for you… I truly enjoyed it!  You two are fabulous!!!  I’m looking forward to your wedding in a couple months!  :)  

Here are a few quick peeks at this beautiful couple!  ENJOY!

(Wouldn’t you agree that Kassandra is going to be one GORGEOUS bride???)
