Best Friends

 

My husband and I are best friends. We have been for more than 12 years, long before we were married. This weekend we had the opportunity to visit another best friend and witness him marry his best friend.

Dan has been our friend for over 5 years. He spent many nights studying with my husband, and even eating dinner with our family. I am so happy he has found Yang. I am so happy he has found his best friend.

After this weekend, we now have a new friend too. It was so easy to meet her and fall in love with her. She was so inviting, so beautiful and genuine. Now Dan has himself a wife, and he certainly picked a great one.

It was so much fun to be there. Aside from the fact that my husband and I got a much needed break together, I loved seeing the way he looked at her, seeing how she touched his arm when she laughed and seeing how their eyes lingered on each other. The love was obvious, as was their friendship, and I feel friendship is very important to marriage.

To Dan and Yang: May you always be best friends.

Endless Love

I was fortunate to enjoy my afternoon here :

You couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.

I was so happy to be a small part of this couple's big day when their family became a forever family.

This family was so fun to be around.

They interacted so wonderfully together, it was obvious they all love and support each other.

There was so much joy and laughter, it was infectious.

And of course, the beautiful couple.

Their love was easy to see, and it is endless.

That's the best kind.

Hitched

These two are getting hitched right now. (I pre-set this blog to post at the time their ceremony is set to begin.)



I spent yesterday morning with them doing a bit of downtown roaming.



It was alot of fun. These two are so in love! They couldn't keep their eyes off eachother, or their lips. I just tried to fade into the background and capture the emotions.



Luckily my weekend with them is not over. So neither are the blog posts. It may take a few days, but come back for pictures of the main event.

So In Love

I love brides. They are so happy and beautiful, plus they love to talk about their "beloved." Carrie was no different. So fun, so happy, and completely gorgeous.



I love Carrie's story. I love to listen to her talk about it. I also love the red sash on her dress.





I typically would not be posting bridals pre-wedding, however, the groom has already seen her. Infact, the bride's mother was texting him pictures during the shoot. He was sending messages back, I think they might have embarassed Carrie!



Near the end of our session Carrie's mom had an idea. I'm so glad she did. From her idea we got this:



He loves her, he loves her not, he loves her?



Of course...HE LOVES HER!

Can't wait for next week.

Bridal Training

One of the greatest assets (in my opinion) about photography in general is, you can never learn it all. There is always something else to try, a new trend emerging, or another aspect to pursue. It never gets boring.

As a part of my never ending training I was fortunate to attend a bridal portrait training class this weekend. I learned a lot both from what the instructor said, and from watching other photographers work.

Here are a few shots from my camera that day:

**edited (7/2/09): I found out tonight that the bride in my original pictures had not been married yet. I thought that they had told us both our models were already married. However, since she has not yet been married I am removing her pictures from this site on the off chance her groom might stumble upon them. I am replacing them with pictures I just finished editing of the other bride.
