Going through all my images from my weddings in 2010 and I realized that I never shared Ifeanyi and Uju’s Day After Session with you.  Why, I don’t know as I love love love this session.  I love the Gothic inspired architecture.  If memory serves me correctly, these were taken at Trinity College in Hartford,  Connecticut.  I drove around the area looking for the perfect spot from their session when I found myself at the university.  BINGO is the first thing that popped in my head; this is exactly what I am looking for.  It was a Sunday afternoon when we took pictures so the campus was pretty empty except for a sports team practicing. They saw Ifeanyi and Uju in their wedding attire and stopped the practice to yell out a Congratulations to them.  Mind you, we are up on a hill and pretty far away from them so they yelled pretty loud. I thought it was the coolest thing.  These two are the sweetest and Uju was actually the bridesmaid in a past wedding of ours, we were the wedding photographers for their dear friends Ig and Anuli.  These four all went to school together in Nigeria and came over to the States to study.

So enjoy the pictures of this fabulous couple.

Ifeanyi and Uju’s wedding pictures were featured on WedLoft, check them out here.

I’m so excited to share this super fun day after session.  I have always been a huge fan of the 50′s diner with the checkered floor, jukeboxes and swivel stools that let you twirl around and order a yummy milkshake.   So when Meredith wanted to take pictures at Steak and Shake, I was beyond ecstatic and loved the idea immediately.  I knew from the get go this would be one of my favorite day after sessions and it didn’t disappoint.  And of course being at Steak and Shake we had to incorporate milkshakes into the photos.   Also I’m super excited because this session is featured on the Style Me Pretty Texas blog, click here to see more pictures from this session. Enjoy

To all my blog readers, I know I have only posted a sneak peak of Meredith and Josh’s wedding pictures but I will do a full blog post soon.  But for now, here is a link back to their wedding pictures.

As promised from yesterday, ok well late last night, here is Geoff and Jaclyn’s wedding at Eldorado Country Club.  The wedding couldn’t have been more beautiful.  I could see the happiness in Geoff’s eyes when Jaclyn turned the corner and walked towards him. And of course Jaclyn was just beaming when she walked down the aisle with her dad.  I teared up from behind my camera, I know I still get emotional at weddings.  I think I could count 100+ things I love about this wedding but seeing how happy these two were all night dancing, drinking, and just spending time with their loved ones.

I swear our brides have the best shoes!!!

Pretty in Pink!!!

This shot Karey took had me rolling!!!

I think they held hands the entire ceremony, so sweet.

The reception room looked amazing.  This is why I love love love lighting. It just tranforms a space.

I love the custom labels on the wine bottles (yes they are real bottles)

Geoff was getting a hard time during the speeches.

Jaclyn’s dad always wears a ball cap so she surprised him with one that had FOB  (Father of the Bride) on it

I hope you enjoyed Part 1 of John and Christi’s gorgeous wedding and now I bring you part 2.  This was such a fun reception.  I mean how can you not have fun with tons of dancing, a photo booth, a candy table, and yummy cake. 

The reception was beautifully decorated and the lighting really transformed the space.  As a photographer, I just love lighting and it just makes the reception space pop.

I loved in the middle of the candy table was a tree you could leave a message for the couple.  It is such a great idea and I’m sure John and Christi loved reading all those special sentiments. 

Oh and I almost forgot, this wedding was featured on Dallas Bridal Buzz, click here to check it out.

I also want to give a big huge thanks to all the wonderful vendors that made this wedding happen and made Karey and I’s job so easy.

I’m so excited to share these photos with you.  They are featured on Polka Dot Bride so I get to share them (I’ve been dying to)

Let me just start off saying that I loved loved loved this engagement session.  I’m a huge fan of the Classic 1930′s and 40′s film noir.  They are mysterious, dark, sexual, moody, witty, and down right gritty.  I love the characters and how they play off each other, I’m in awe of the lighting, the drama of it all.  If you haven’t watched Strangers on a Train, or Double Indemnity you are so missing out.  I urge you to go rent it (red box, netflix, blockbuster) and curl up with you sweetie and watch. 

So when John and Valerie came to me, the first thing they said is they wanted something cinematic for their engagement session.  The two met while working at a local movie theater and John is an aspiring actor.  So we played around with some ideas and came up with the concept of creating their own film noir but in still images.  We cast John as the detective and Valerie as the infamous femme fatale.  Ok so now we had our leads, then we set out to find a gritty, run down motel, costumes for both of them and of course props.  We were then ready to make our movie.  So sit back, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show.
