Britni was one of my first brides to book for 2011.  She booked back in August of 2009 so I feel like I have known her forever.  I was so excited to finally get to do a session for her. :)  Tristin always keeps her laughing and these two have a serious sense of style.  I am already looking forward to their wedding at the Villa di Felicita next year.

Once upon a time Kiffany was 14 and Adam was 17 and she went to the staking rink where Adam worked and he totally hit on her even though she had a boyfriend…

They grew up and got engaged.  Now Adam is a fireman and Kiffany comes up to the Fire Station and Adam hits on her there.

to be continued… :)

So I’m thinking of starting a new little tradition here on the site.  Once a month I’ll feature my 10 favorite images from a same month 1 year ago.  (Wow, I feel like I made that sentence much more confusing than it needed to be.)

I think it’s important for brides to see a “history” of work.  Anyone with a decent camera can shoot a good image every now and then. However, shooting a wedding week in and week out is what really helps me “know” what’s going to happen next on your day.  So, this is a way of showing you that I’ve been shooting for a little while, and it’s also a way for my past brides to flaunt their stuff on my blog again. :)

Anyway, here they are, in no particular order, my favorite images from April 2009.

If engagement sessions were measured on the Richter scale, Jessica & Arcenio would be off it. :)

Check it out.

Fun with talk bubbles.

Fun with soap bubbles.

I can’t wait for their June wedding.

Thanks for a great session guys.

When I was talking with Heather & Blake about what they love to do together as a couple, the things that kept popping up were video games and wrestling. :) At first, this threw me off.  But, once they explained that their family already included 10 & 8 year old boys, it all made perfect sense.  Heather really impressed me with her ability to be “giddy engaged girl”, but still hold her own among all the testosterone in the room. Here are a few of my favorites.

100% natural lens flare. Yummy!

Everyone loves Mario Kart.

Check out the rock!  I can’t wait to get some ring shots of this thing on the wedding day!

The boys are at the age where wedgies are “fun”  Blake is happy to oblige.

Yep, that’s an official regulation size wrestling mat in the living room.

How about those eyes?

Keep an eye out for the wedding at Castle on the Lake in about a month!
