Larissa & Nick: Lexington Wedding Photography

A couple reasons I love being a wedding photographer: I get to take one-of-a-kind images.  This wedding doesn't happen again.  Larissa won't put her gown on again before her ceremony.  She won't see Nick for the first time on their wedding day again.  They have one first dance.  I am there, honored to catch these moments, allowing them to be remembered forever.  And I find great joy in doing so.

I get to draw with light.  Most of the time I use natural light, which can be a hide and seek game, but I love the challenge.  The perfect light is always able to be found, or made if need be (shout out to flashes).

Now, on to Nick and Larissa.  What a way to start out the 2012 wedding season.  Larissa is an artist, studying and working at the Savannah School of Art and Design.  Her wedding reflects her beauty and creativity to a tee.  Her wedding gown is a perfect example.  She entered a contest sponsored by Jasmine Bridal and won this dress.  It is stunning!  Be sure to keep scrolling for all of her amazing reception details, provided by her mom's antique collection.

Enjoy this look back of Larissa and Nick's big day!

Jennifer & Ben: Lexington Engagement

Could there be a more beautiful backdrop than blossoming flowers?  Thank you spring!  Also, how fabulous is Jennifer's hair?  Love those curls! Hope your Wednesday was wonderful.  Today I visited the Winchester Opera House.  We have a wedding there in a couple weeks and I went to scout locations.  It is gorgeous.  The owner has also purchased an old Victorian for you and your guests to stay in.  If you need a venue, brides, you must check it out!

Ali & Chris: Lexington Engagement Session

What is better than the following photographic recipe: - the 50s

- James Dean (Ali is such a  big fan that her little dog is named after this Rebel actor)

- Parkette

- A red leather jacket

- Hair and Make Up by Fleet Street Hair Shoppe (way to go Candace)

- Clothes from Street Scene

I was skimming Ali and Chris' pictures tonight and these two jumped out at me. Had to share.

Happy Monday to all and to all a good night!

Alice: Lexington Children's Photography

Do you know about our Baby Bee Collection?  It includes four portrait sessions of your baby (newborn to one year photos) and an album to show off his/her first year.  Alice is one of our Baby Bees and it has been a joy watching her grow.  This is session three of four and she is getting more adorable with every shoot.  We shot at Simply Love Studio due to cold and wet weather.  It was a great indoor location.  Thanks to Sarah at SLS for fitting us in the schedule! Hands and feet.  Ah, so cute!

Mom and daughter matching Toms.  So glad you had this idea, Audrey!
