Weddings

I would like to thank Vane over at Brooklyn Bride for featuring one of my favorite weddings of the year, Kallie and Mike’s modern 7-7-07 celebration. There is a great interview with Kallie about some of the fun and lovely
details. I hadn’t heard about the midnight second ceremony and wish I
would have been there for it. Scroll down or click here to see more details. I also just saw a copy of South Sound Wedding & Event Magazine on the rack at Borders with a very nice article on their wedding. It is always so exciting for me to see my favorite images published in a magazine! For all of you who are in the planning stage, I would highly recommend regular visits to Brooklyn Bride for inspiration! 

What a nice way to start off the new year! I always enjoy visiting J Sandifer’s blog to check out his "Photo of the Day" selection. His site is a great resource for anyone interested in wedding photography. Today I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my favorite images from last summer featured as the Photo of the Day! Thanks for the mention J!

As promised here are more photographs from Kallie and Mike’s modern wedding on 7-7-07. Since the wedding was at their home, they had to be very thoughtful and creative while planning the big day. The party was spread out on different decks. The ceremony,reception and dancing all took place on the main deck. Drinks were served up at the bar on the side deck. The cake and toast happened in the backyard. The menu was a spread of tapas, so formal tables were not required for eating. They registered for patio furniture and were able to use their new gifts at the wedding for guest seating. Kallie’s mom created a stencil and painted a black runner with graphic white flowers and birds, which complimented the modern theme perfectly. With the help of their friends they built a large metal structure over the main deck. They hung black fabric on it to provide shade and also hung tons of round paper lanterns in the middle to add a warm glow over the deck. It was a tight space for shooting and I was very happy that Jon was brave and clever enough to climb up on the roof to shoot. He got some of the best shots of the day from up there, along with some fiberglass embedded in his skin! Ouch! Although he was a trooper and never complained, he just kept smiling and shooting! Thanks to everyone that made this wedding so special!
