Josh and Kate, Part Three
Cabo San Lucas

Well, the day has finally come – it’s the final installment of the wonderful Josh and Kate here on the bloggy blog. It’s been fun folks. Real fun. But like all amazing and fabulous things, this too must come to an end (tear). After one crazy night of wedding fun, these two got all dressed up again for their day after session, which was a blast because we got to chill and do whatever the heck we wanted to! Wahoo! I’m starting this feature with my most favorite images from the day. Once we found this big wooden chapel door,…

Alistair and Katie, Part Four
Lucca, Italy

Welcome back to the last day of Ally and Katie’s destination wedding in Lucca, Italy. After recovering from the wedding festivities for a few days, they got back into their wedding garb and we hit the streets of Lucca for their Day After session. It was so fun having these two take us on a tour of the back streets of this adorable little town! This is why I love Italy. People use wine crates as bike baskets to hold their jug of whiskey. Need I say more? 5 people love this 1 person loves this And then they use…

Chuck and Laura, Day After | San Jose, Costa Rica

That’s the thing about Costa Rica. It just keeps the goodness flowing. Our final installment featuring Chuck and Laura comes today with their fabulous Day After session in the streets of San Jose, Costa Rica. Most people would think of Day After sessions as “Trash the Dress” sessions, but Jeff and I aren’t  firm believers in trashing wedding dresses. As a former bride, I am part of that bridal camp that gets severe tummy aches at the thought of ruining my beautiful wedding dress. But a photo shoot in the coolest parts of Costa Rica that we couldn’t go to…

What We Loved About Costa Rica

Almost four months of travel, and we’re finished. We made it home. I’ve already unpacked and worked through the mountain of smelly laundry we came back with. Well, this “laundry” was more like a pile of sweat and dirt that smelled like our hike through the cloud forest and the horses we rode to get there. Yucky rancid clothes, and yet these awful smells made me stop and smile just for a second before I held my breath and shoved them in the machine and dumped a gallon of soap over them. That should do the trick… We flew down…

John and Christie, Part Four | Burano, Italy

***This is the fourth and final installment of our Honeymoon Shoot in Venice, Italy, with the beautiful John and Christie. Go here to see the first, second, and third installments.*** For our final shoot in Venice, we wanted to do a creative and unique Lifestyle session with John and Christie, and we had heard fantastic things about the island of Burano. Burano is a small island in the Venetian lagoon located just a short ferry ride from the city of Venice, and it is famous for its lacework. While true Burano lace is rare these days, the real draw for…

John and Christie, Part Three | Venice, Italy

***This is the third installment of our Honeymoon Shoot in Venice, Italy, with the beautiful John and Christie. You can see the first installment here, and the second installment here. Enjoy!*** After hours of fun in the Venetian streets during the afternoon, the four of us retreated to our hotels, danced with delight, took a quick siesta, and waited. Every evening, during the magical twenty minutes after sunset, God creates Twilight.  In those few moments after the sun disappears beyond the horizon, the sky reveals the depths of it color spectrum. Every minute reveals a different blue, purple, or indigo,…

John and Christie, Part Two | Venice, Italy

***This is the second installment of our Honeymoon Shoot in Venice, Italy, with the beautiful John and Christie. You can see the first installment here.*** After wandering the alleyways surrounding St. Mark’s Square, we finally made our way to the majestic and picturesque Rialto Bridge that overlooks the Grand Canal in central Venice. Like St. Mark’s Square, this bridge is normally a sea of tourists and shoppers, but we were fortunate to only have a few onlookers that were kind enough to stand behind us during our shoot. Everybody was so nice! I think these are my favorite series from…

John and Christie | Venice, Italy

They’re finally ready!! I know that there have been at least two or three people (and yes, that includes our moms) that have been waiting ever so patiently to see the images from our Honeymoon Shoot in Venice, Italy. It has been the craziest two months of our lives, so I apologize that its taken a few weeks to process the beautiful mountain of images from our Italy trip in January. It has been such a blessing working through these images and we want to thank everybody that was a part of it – especially our gorgeous couple, John and…

Venezia!

It’s that glance. It’s this touch. It’s that kiss, and that look. It’s the certain deep something about true love that speaks across languages and travels through borders. Love is universal, and nothing can hinder its expression when it is real. But when that love meets the most romantic city on earth, magic ignites… Gondolas, romance, bridges, cafes, balconies, canals, and most of all, “amore” surround every corner of this small and yet fantastically monumental city. This is John and Christie, and this is Venice, Italy!! Jeff and I just spent the most wonderful four days of our lives with…
