Elena & Juan Pi: Un año juntos

Or: Elena and Juan Pablo, one year together.

Since I couldn't photograph their actual wedding last year in Medellín, Colombia, Elena asked me to take a few portraits for their one year anniversary. We were blessed with a perfect afternoon in December- the air was crisp, the light was long and lingering, and we got to follow up our shoot with a Christmas party at the museum with all of our closest friends. I loved working with these two... Elena is so vibrant and positive that an infectious happiness just follows her always. Juan Pi is the perfect complement for such a radiant little lady, so caring and understanding. You can feel it when you're with them and I can see it in all of these pictures. They adore each other! What a wonderful feeling. So here it is, a sample from my first anniversary shoot! I'm so pleased!!

Bouquet and boutonniere by PuroLove. They are handmade from felt and wire- lasting keepsakes from their wedding that were perfect for this shoot. (The pieces also match the carrier perfectly- Elena studies butterflies and Juan Pi studies birds!)

 

 

 

Congratulations Elena and Juan Pablo!! ❤ Te amo mucho!

A Fall Engagement: Cassie + Kory

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to photograph my first engagement session after two friends announced their happy plans to get hitched. We met one early and overcast November morning when their garden was full and alive in bloom and got down to business. I am so pleased with the results of the shoot (especially since it was my first time doing an engagement...and I was having contact lens problems). It is always such a blast to photograph my friends, and I just feel so good inside when I am able to give someone something so personal and know that it truly means a lot to them. Here's to you, Cassie and Kory, congratulations on tying the knot!

And so, here is a selection of some of our favorites from the shoot:

  

Some photographs were warmed up a bit as alternate edits-here is an example

Just beautiful. This is my favorite shot by far.

We also ventured across the street to Lake Alice for some tea and more shooting. The lighting was a bit more difficult to work with, but I like that there is some variation within the shoot.
