I thought I would start my new blog with the first wedding I photographed after having Graham. This was an awesome wedding at Kindred Oaks. This is really one of the best places to get married, not only for it’s beautiful landscape, but because they have some of the best staff around. They are always so thoughtful and attentive to everyone’s needs. Trust me, it makes a big difference to have good people around you on your wedding day. This service was so beautiful, but especially tricky to photograph considering the sun set half way through (Note to bride: Always check your sunset times). We literally could not see two feet in front of us, but it was so magical looking with all the tree lights and candles at the arbor. Thank goodness for those prime lenses that allow us to shoot in such low light situations.
Here are the vendor details:
Wedding coordinator: Donna Aleman
Flowers: ZuZu’s petals
Cake: Simon Lee Bakery
Wrap and Veil: Diana Ackerman (check out the pics below of this incredible knit wrap Jenny had made for the reception).
Hair and Make up: www.jenihoover.com

First glance before the ceremony. His expression is fabulous.


I absolutely love the simplistic beauty of the fruit on the cake.

Jenny’s family thought it would be funny to take pics of me. See Alena in the background taking a pic too? That means I had 3 (!) cameras on me at once. Talk about ganging up on the photographer. I was a good sport.

But wait….why are they laughing so hard when reviewing the pics of me?










Yes, that’s the bride’s father. Hilarious guy.
