Michele and Beau

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

Last year we had the privilege of shooting Michele’s sister, Lindsay, wedding. It wasn’t but a few months later that we received a call from their mother that Michele was engaged and they needed our services again. Well of course! Just a few months ago their last child got engaged and unfortunately, we were already booked for this May ‘08 wedding. We would have had a perfect family trifecta of photo shoots!
Michele and Beau were married in the beautiful and quaint St. Stephens Church on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon. After a blistering summer we thought we were in heaven shooting on a 75 degree day. One of my favorite touches were the orange, lobster bow ties. I love orange! It is such a great, happy fall color. They, along with beautiful coral bridesmaid gowns, were the perfect punctuation to each photo.
Michele and Beau, we had a wonderful day shooting and are so honored to be such an intimate part of your family’s memories. Thank you for choosing us. We hope Costa Rica was all you hoped it would be.

Here are some of our favorite moments and sights.

Chelsea’s Senior Portraits

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

Chelsea decided to go against the traditional flow for senior portraits by skipping the studio and getting outside with us.
With her guitar in hand and her John Mayer t-shirt on, she was ready for her session. She had such a laid back demeanor, great big green eyes and a smile to match. I have to say, it was really nice to have background music while shooting as she strummed various John Mayer songs while we photographed away. Thanks for the great morning Chelsea, we hope these pictures represent your senior year and your personality just like you were hoping for.
