![]() ![]() Sarah and Simon’s wedding was a dream wedding for a photojournalist—to put it simply. The day was an emotional smorgasboard –there was laugher and tears from both the bride and groom, and what looked like every single guest present! I’m a sucker for moments that move people to tears–be it tenderness or a good old fashion roast, and I was completely in my element at this wedding. Sarah and Simon are two extraordinary people who love deeply–not only each other, but their friends and family, as well. They treated me as though we had known each other for years. I’m always blessed by this.
…And well, let’s be honest–I’ve been waiting for a shot of a bride and groom smoking a cigarette together for years…. I finally got this from Simon and Sarah. What a riot!
This image is more of a cautionary tale…. family portraits are not always easy to get through! Check out the views from cocktail hour, and of course the amazing decor inside the Ritz Carlton ballroom—Sarah and Simon have some serious class! COMMENTon this post LINKto this post

We love you Simon and SJ. -you did a spectacular job. the colors are sooo vibrant. what a gorgeous wedding!! -![]() Meet Little Lyla Oliver…. the most sweet, and petite little 15 month old! She was like a little doll to work with–and so beautiful. I can’t believe I’m even going to say this, because the last thing I want to do is perpetuate the celebrity obsession some of us have, but doesn’t Lyla look just like baby Shilo? Anyhow, it was a wonderful evening at Wash park with the Olivers—and I owe the pleasant, easy shoot to Baby Lyla! COMMENTon this post LINKto this post

•Senior Pictures
I don’t advertise myself as a “senior portrait” photographer—-it’s just not my thing. I don’t really care for straightening necklaces and making sure that my subject is perfectly poised in front of some flowers or hugging a tree. But every now and then, I’ll get an inquiry for someone who thinks outside the box and wants me to do their senior portrait–knowing full well that I may break all the “guidelines for the yearbook”. If all seniors were like Alec, I’d be making half my living doing this—he was so great to work with–a little shy at first, but working it like a champ by the end of the shoot. I told him he should do some modeling…
I had to throw in a photo of Alec and his sister—I loved that they didn’t take the shot too seriously… It fit both of their personalities
This is my favorite shot from the day.

Sweet! I’m diggin’ the fence shot. Great stuff as always.
-Your favorite is mine, too. He looks like he owns the town! Ah, to be young and cool again. Well, mostly the young thing, as I doubt even your def (are the kids still saying “def”?) photographic skills could have made me look this cool.
-Love the white t-shirt and carefree smile! Exactly how it felt to be a teenager. The shots are great!
