Singing in the Rain with Stephanie & Craig

I recently second shot a wedding for Wavecrest Studio. Stephanie & Craig are such a sweet couple and you could see just by being around them how truly in love they are with one another. We all had a wonderful day together and even though it started to drizzle at the park, the soft, overcast lighting made for some fantastic photographs! Thank you both for letting me share in your special day! Here are some highlights from their beautiful wedding […]

Just Married – 50 Years!

Today is my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. It’s hard to believe that they’ve been married for 50 years! Their love for each other has truly stood the test of time. In a world where people often take the easy way out, they’ve persevered through good times and bad by putting in the hard work and effort it definitely takes to have a successful and happy marriage. Sure, they’ve had their disagreements and challenging times, but through it all, one thing […]

Love, Portuguese-American Style!

Nancy and Jorge’s wedding will definitely go down as one of my all-time favorites! Take one adorable couple so in love, add their gracious and hospitable families, wonderful food, a unique location, fun-filled Portuguese dances, and you’ve got yourself one spectacular wedding fete! I invite you to stroll through the images. Take your time, linger if you want to. I just can’t get enough of this wedding and I’m willing to bet, neither will you! It started out gray with […]

Bridal Accessories, Bring on the Bling!

There can never be enough bling. As far as I’m concerned, the more the better! Today’s bridal accessories are full of rhinestones, crystals, beads, brooches and more. Take for example these Martinez Valero pumps. Don’t you just love the vintage-style rhinestone brooches?! I stumbled upon the ultimate line of bridal purses in a small, local shop. Designed by Bougainvillea, these clutch purses are swimming with pearls, rhinestones, and Swarovski crystals.  Can you say bling-deluxe?! The attention-to-detail is unmatched. Each purse […]

Katie and Sean, an Autumn Wedding

I had the privilege of second shooting for Wavecrest Studio at the wedding of Katie and Sean. They were married on a beautiful autumn day! Nothing says fall like tall, red, maple trees. This wedding was full of gorgeous details! I loved the pretty, miniature wedding gown on the end table. The teddy bears dressed in wedding day attire were so adorable! Loved our groom’s retro, 1930s style dress shoes! What I loved most about this couple was their pure […]

A Family Wedding (Part 2)

Chris and Jeanne Marie’s reception had so many charming details. From the red rose petals spread amongst the place card settings, to their first names lit up in lights on the dance floor, their special day was filled with romantic and festive touches. Here are a few of my favorite wedding reception details. How on earth do they carve the figures so perfectly? This type of guestbook is a great memento to have. It’s fun to read through the remarks […]

A Family Wedding

There’s nothing like a family wedding. Everyone comes together to celebrate and we’re reminded of how important family truly is. Chris and Jeanne Marie’s wedding was absolutely wonderful! The food, the music, the venue — everything was fabulous! This sweet couple met in high school and have been together for 10 years. They’ve shared many good times and have supported one another through some of the most difficult and challenging times a family can possibly go through. Through it all […]

To Pin or Not to Pin

I’m so excited! I’ve been pinned. Not in the 1950’s sense of the word, but on Pinterest.com. In case you’re not familiar with this wonderfully addictive site, allow me to elaborate. Pinterest.com, the most crowd-pleasing creation since Facebook, is an entertaining Web site where people can build image boards based on what inspires them from photos found anywhere on the Internet. To be more precise, from Wikipedia, “Pinterest is a pinboard-style photo-sharing Web site that allows users to create and […]

Happy 4th of July!

As we go through our daily routines, it’s easy to take the freedom we enjoy here in the United States for granted. On this special holiday, let’s take some time to remember all of our devoted forefathers who pursued a life without oppression not only for themselves, but for future generations. Thank you to all of the soldiers that fought so bravely and gave their lives so selflessly to grant the precious gift of freedom that we Americans share here […]

Purchasing your bridal bouquet can be quite expensive. Why not make one yourself? There are many local options available for the bride that’s willing to take a risk.
