John and Windy, Atlanta GA        04.24.2010

Windy was only four when I met her.  Her oldest sister, Danielle, had fast become my kindred friend the first day of freshman orientation. I remember Windy's voice on the phone as she'd chirp daily retellings of her day to Dani, and often to me. Several years later, telephone in hand, I listened gleefully as Windy recounted the dreamy, funny details of John's proposal. The picnic, the ring, the hiding photographers. She was chirping, trilling even! A dancer and choreographer, Windy's elegance and grace is lovely to behold, but her gentle spirit emanates. John loves her deeply, it is easy to see. Many friends and family came far to attend their wedding. It was a loving tribute not only to the beauty and purity of their union, but to the legacy of both their families. Steve and I feel tremendously honored not only to have been present but to have captured their wedding story.  

 

Trisha & Marcus                   04.17.2010

They spend down time walking their dogs around this Scottsdale park, so that is where we headed for a fun and relaxed engagement shoot. As I shot, I noticed how softly Marcus looks at her. I love that. And I couldn't stop taking pictures of Trisha's enviable brown eyes! Her shoulder tatoo is an edelweiss flower, as her heritage is mostly German. I actually broke out in song from Sound of Music at its mention! Lucky them, a photographer and serenador rolled into one! Well anyways, thank you for hanging out with Steve and I, guys! Can't wait for your wedding day!

Emma has the loveliest handwriting and this year requested a caligraphy set for her 10th birthday. I can't wait to throw a fun dinner party complete with swirly handwritten invitations. Wanna come?
