Shannon and Peter’s Wedding June 20th

What a fun day this was.  My own daughter was married on this day last year, and I can tell you when you are a photographer, it’s a completely different perspective than being the mother of the bride.   As I photographed Shannon and Peter’s day, it brought back so many wonderful memories from last year, and made their wedding all the more special for me.

 Shannon’s dress was exquisite….  and it’s always fun having someone watch you getting make up put on…

I have to say, Peter’s wedding ring is one of the most beautiful men’s rings I have seen.

Shannon is looking very beautiful and ready to get married - I might add, she was extremely calm on the outside.

Peter is anxiously waiting for the wedding to begin as well….LET”S GET GOING!

 Shannon and her mother share a moment..and a photograph…

and hey - I can’t be the one taking all the photos…there’s plenty go go around.

That Special Kiss - Mr. and Mrs. Jagdeo!

The happy couple was sneaking another one before chaos sets in..

First Dance as Mr. and Mrs.

OMG - Paisley cake???  MY FAVORITE~!


The reception begins..and so does the fun…

Shannon’s mom and dad looking pretty reflective on the day…

and to top it off - a special serenade from a friend…

 A different type of ending…paper airplanes with messages of life, love, and happiness for the couple.

To Shannon and Peter, it was my great pleasure getting to know the two of you…

Carrie and Hiren’s Wedding Day….

Carrie and Hiren’s wedding was really two weddings in one.  A traditional church wedding followed by a mostly traditional Indian ceremony.  They are a really sweet couple, and it was a lot of fun getting to know the both of them.  I really enjoyed hearing how they met.  On to the details…

These dresses were fantastic - and proved to be a source of entertainment thoughout the day…you’ll see why later..

You get a hint of what went on the night before…henna painting

A closer view fo the detail that goes into this..

Hiren looked GREAT!

A tiny bit of nail polish to be perfected..

Carrie was so calm as the wedding was about to begin..


Marriage 1 - COMPLETE!

and so the barat begins…

And the FUN began…

and the night ended….or at least this part of it..  HAPPY HONEYMOON GUYS!

Katrina and David’s Wedding…

Finally delivered Katrina and David’s photos to them this evening.  I have been so anxious to give them to them.  It’s interesting how sometimes you make a connection with your clients.  I believe i met these two shortly after my oldest daughter moved to Seattle, and my youngest went back to college in New Hampshire.  They weathered their first hurricane ever when Ike came calling last September.  Anyway…I hope you enjoy looking at their photos as much as I enjoyed getting to know them.

The day started with David leaving a note for Katrina to read.

Katrina’s grandmother journals - a truly lost art these days.

Here are the guys looking SMASHING in their kilts..

Katrina’s dress just peeking at us…

What wedding would be complete without a pair of spanx?  Lord knows i have a pair i would gladly give to anyone who wants them…

This is one of my absolute favorite photos…Katrina was so calm and collected while everyone fussed over her.

Emotions are hard to control at weddings…everytime I see a bride cry…I cry too..

Another favorite, but I can’t put my finger on why exactly…

Just after cake cutting..

And the party starts…

 

I would like to personally thank Viet, who second shot with me - you did an awesome job! 

Katrina and David…keep in touch!
