I’m starting to get used to the snow now, and there’s part of me that loves it, the quiet beauty of it, and then there’s part of me that wants it to all come to an end, the constant shoveling and wishing I had something other than a low grade economy car  to tackle the roads.  With the December snow wedding, I didn’t think I would have the opportunity to photograph another wedding in the snow, but in January I had the pleasure of photographing Kristina and Chris’s wedding here in Richmond.  At the end of the night we wondered into the streets for a snow portrait.  It was freezing, but I’m glad we did it.

Snow!

02.08.10

I spent the weekend snowed in at my childhood home with the family.  I couldn’t resist taking some fun photos in the snow, of course I had to wait 2 days for the snow to stop falling before I could venture out.  It snowed around 18 inches here.  My parents have the best driveway for sledding, but you do have to have a little maneuvering skills to get around the bend.  You might recognize the couple below from the main page, my brother and sister-in-law, as well as my mom sporting her finest pajamas.  We also have a river running behind the house, and I made the trek down there for some photos.  It was so peaceful, absolutely quiet except for the running water.

I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Jenna and Mike.  It was an unlikely warm day, and we were able to do a lot of outdoor portraits.  The overcast sky makes my photography heart melt.  They were married at the Richmond Country Club.  They had a fabulous Candy bar, which their wedding planner put together while everyone ate.  Check out Nicolle of N.E. Events if your’re looking for a planner.

Remember that big snow that Richmond got, yeah, last Saturday?  This was the wedding date of Sarah and Ronnie.  It was a small wedding, close family.  This made it easier for Sarah’s brother in law to transport all of us to the Church.  They had to come pick me up, as my economy toyota echo wouldn’t stand a chance in that snow.  Luckily both the church and the reception site were in my neighborhood.  They were good sports, and allowed me to photograph them for a few minutes outside, while it was snowing, and it made for some really fun and unique images.

I love fall weddings, maybe it’s the cool the weather, or the warm colors associated with the season, but I get so excited to shoot these weddings.  The day started off raining, but a small window opened up right after the ceremony and we were able to photograph outdoors.  The wedding took place at The Boathouse, so classic, I love this location, right on the waterfront.  Cristin and Clair were just adorable, and I couldn’t get enough of the fabulous tattoos, especially with the strapless dress that Cristin chose, it really showed them them off wonderfully.

Amanda and Kevin had a beautiful fall wedding.  The sky was perfectly blue and the fall leaves were in full swing.  They had a very unique wedding and included daughter, Ryin, in the ceremony.  Amanda made every last detail, and friends and family made a variety of cakes and pies for dessert.  They all wore chucks and Amanda wore white keds.

Nokomis and Brad recently were married, so now I can gladly share some of her bridal portraits from an older shoot.  We had a lot of fun photographing at the science museum.  We mostly photographed in the back near the trains, as the science museum was the old union/Broad st. Station.  She is also a teacher, and we had fun playing with the vintage school set up.
