Sara & Ryan: Wedding (Part 1)

Here is a quick preview of a wedding I shot last weekend. More details and pictures to come later this week...

John, Matthew & Kate

Meet John, Matthew and Kate, perhaps three of the nicest and most imaginative kids I have ever met.

John and I chatted about his high school life while Kate and Matthew did tricks on the swings. He is such a nice and personable kid. It was fun to hear all about his classes and 'talk Spanish' with him.

Kate is a total sweety too. She wore her very pretty dress and had some great ideas for images. In fact, later in this post you'll see that she is a budding photographer.

Matthew is an awesome kid. Like Kate, Matthew had some fun ideas for images. In fact, I believe it was Matthew who convinced me to hang from the ladder on their swing set and photograph the three of them atop the roof. Did I mention I was wearing heals?

This is my favorite image from the day. Kate was playing with the umbrella while John and Matthew tossed a football back and forth. I asked the guys to pause for a moment and pretend like they were about to have a cowboy style draw. I think they thought I was out of my mind, but I was happy with the result.

Here is an image that Kate created. She was totally interested in my camera, so I let her shoot a few images. Great job Kate! Stick with it, you're a natural ;).

Kelly

Dependable. Honest. Loyal. Charismatic. Energetic. Caring. Kelly, one of my oldest friends, is all of these things and more.

Kelly and I met in middle school. I don't remember when, where, why, or how we met, but I do remember how much fun we used to have at gymnastics. I remember how many laughs we had jumping on her trampoline. I remember how excited we both were to get our braces off toward the end of 8th grade. I also remember how excited I was for her when she told me she'd found 'the one', Chad, and I remember how happy she was for me when I told her that Jay had proposed. We always have fun together as you can see from the laughter and smiles in these images.

Kelly's daughter, Brynn, is adorable and so fun. We took Brynn and Leo to the pool as a treat after the photo shoot.Kel, that was a great day. Sorry for the delay in posting these images! Happy October ;).
