Sara's September {Wedding} Soiree.

On a loverly September evening, I had the distinct pleasure of capturing my dear, beloved first college roommie's {Sara's} wedding. If you recall, I shared Sara and Richie's engagement shoot earlier in the summer. She's one of my closest friends to have gotten married, so it was an extra honor to be her photog. :)
This blog has been a lonnng time coming - I do apologize for that - sara and richie!!


That evening, the weather was ideal: clear and crisp - but not too chilly to be warmed by a sweater or a glass of wine {or two ;)}.
After growing up and going through so many ups and downs with Sara together, it was wonderful to see her marry a man she is so obviously, mutually happy and in love with {i hate ending with a preposition, heh}.

My 3 favorite things about this wedding were:
1. the candy bar {which you will get to see here!}
2. the impromptu college reunion i had there
3. the fact that it gave me a reason to fly back to indy - i SO miss you all out there!!!!

This is my most recent wedding, but i'm really hoping to schedule some in/around NYC ::crosses fingers:: ... In the meanwhile, enjoy the snaps, and i pinky promise to be a much better blogger!

XO and cheers from NYC!




Bless the candy bar ...


Sweetest wittle flower girl - she loved the camera, which i loved!


Sara and her cuz+maid of honor, Ashley.


I'm so loving that shade of purple these days! The bridesmaids were all darling!

Lynds 'n' Will {tie that knot}

Last Saturday was a bride's weather nightmare - chilly storms galore. Fortunately for Lyndsey {bride}, all that nasty, dreariness cleared itself out by the time I met her to shoot her evening wedding! {i'm fairly certain we all did a collective ::WHEW:: at seeing the light of the sun ;).

Lyndsey looked like a modern day Cinderella, in her pretty, poufy white gown and tiara. Groom William shed a few tears seeing her walk down the aisle {Lynds had to wipe a drop from his nose during the ceremony - sweet, heh}.

Many a mini tux was scampering about that evening, as she and her older sister, Brittany {who you may notice from a post from last summer} have 3 cute little boys between the two of them. Lyndsey's youngest son isn't exactly scampering at all yet, so his "tux" was actually a baby christening suit {awwww}.

I am SO glad the gloomy, wet day transformed into a gorgeous summer night for Cinderella and her prince, William {no, not the one from the UK - harhar}. The rustic outdoorsy shots we got would have been a tad more difficult had a storm been involved. ;)

Cheers to the new Mr. and Mrs. Glaze!


Baby tuxes = too presh.


Mama love before the ceremony. :)


Hey there, Cinderella!




pretty sisters! i'm shooting brittany's wedding in spring of 2010. :)


This is what wedded bliss looks like. ;)



Another wedding photog in the making??


the kids definitely got DOWN that night.




Another fav of mine of the bride. I always find dark hair and blue eyes so beautifully striking!

Christi + Bobby: The Wedding

Barely 48 hours after my trek back from NYC, i made another trek - this time it was down south. Entirely opposite in pretty much every way possible, this trek took me a 2.5 hour drive to Madison/Hanover-land, Indiana.
I had made this trek almost a year ago {already, whew!} for Christi and Bobby's engagement session {you may or may not recall that lonnng ago, heh}. ;)

This time, i came back to this beau-ti-ful, charming town to shoot their nuptials!
I had really been looking forward to shooting this wedding because of how exceptionally adorable this place is. :)

Personally, i don't have the guts to have an outdoor wedding myself, but Christi + Bobby had quite a gorgeous afternoon for their day - for which is was suuuper relieved!!

The couple couldn't be sweeter, as was their wedding party!
I snapped a TON of pictors that day, but here are some highlights ... i may have to post more a bit later, just for kicks.

Happy, happy Fathers Day + verrrry 1st day of SUMMER!!!

My ole college pal + Tri-Delta sista, Amanda, is just adorable. :)



A little bit o' romance ...



Possibly my favourite guy group shot, ever.




Who doesn't love some silly kiddie pics? hehe.


Christi can come off as very timid when you first meet her, so this exaggerated face just gave me a chuckle.


Behind the happy couple you can spot Kentucky. ;)

lauren+steven: can't get enough

as the title states - i simply adored the photos i took with my couple of last week's bloggy, so i'm featuring them again this week. i'm not lazy, i swear it! too many silly, stupendous photo opps. ;)
i actually JUST got finished editing all of the pics from this SO i'm feeling pretty relieved and accomplished!
enjoy browsing through the jumble of some of my final favs!
and, in case i don't post again before Thanksgiving - HAVA HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!!

xoxo - lala
