allison and david…married

dec 19th started out beautiful…

the wind was blowing…the morning was crisp…but allison was calm and peaceful…

we started the day at Salon Dusserre and Spa…where an already beautiful girl…

was transformed…

into a very very very…

beautiful…

cover worthy…

bride…

 I love this image caught by my second shooter..Gena…I adore the way my gorgeous sis-in-law is looking on at her stunning daughter :)

 a few details…

Allison brought such a simple grace to her wedding day…

she is timeless…

together…she and david have started a beautiful forever…

Gorgeous Mr and Mrs if I do say so myself…

Allison is my neice…I feel so blessed that she and David asked me to cover their wedding day…

I will never forget the strength that I witnessed from this man…

the strength that makes him want to be the best man in the world for Allie…

I could see it in every glance he directed at his beautiful bride…

the look on his face of being so in love, so admiring, so excited, and weak in the knees at the same time…

I am so happy for them!

Can I just say that I adored David’s groomsmen…well…I did!

Those guys were hilarious!

and Allison’s ladies…stunning!

all of them…

esp this beautiful little flower girl…

a few details from the luncheon…

a much deserved spotlight by this heirloom piece of jewelry…

a few images to remember the reception by…

I love this image!

(both of the most important guys in her life…look at the joy on their faces)…

a sentimental moment during the AMAZING video slideshow by David’s brother in law…

and two words that sum it all up…

Allison and David…

Thank you for the love you share and for sharing it with so many who look to you with so much respect and admiration. 

May you always remember this day…look upon it fondly in your sweetest, and most difficult, moments of your lives together…

Congratulations!

the latest in his bag of tricks…

peeking in real quick to share…

my little guy started a new trick just shy of his 8 month birthday…

(future surfer???)

balance…balance…

very proud of himself…

wait…lost focus…losing balance…

and gets it back and sports a perfect “standing up in the middle of the room at 8 months old i am robbing my momma of the baby” stance :)

can’t even begin to put into words how much we all cherish having this little guy in our home…

hope your week is going well…

bless the creative people…

I am so excited to share a little project that I have given to the ever so creative Rachelle, of Wiley Valentine. I have been trying for months to translate my inspirations into a logo for my photography business.  I have a joke with a friend of mine that I belong to the logo of the week club :) .  I am so happy with what we came up with…

I wanted something romantic with a touch of vintage and whimsy. I have been admiring this amazing online shop, Wiley Valentine, for a while now and so I asked them if they ever did custom work for branding.  I was elated when the answer was yes…So I sent over this inspiration board to Rachelle (photo credits to Punam Bean and The Image is Found)…

.

 

after a few revisions…

this is how is translated into a logo that is sooooo me…

it is perfect (thanks Rachelle!)

 

I decided to have her make a blog background for me to…I send her a pic of this hot cocoa sitting in kitchen…


and she came up with this…

 thanks Rachelle…the process was fun and I love what you have made for me!

Stay tuned for adam’s latest trick, a fun and fabulous family session, and some more beautiful wedding images…
