Meghan & Michael

This wedding was planned to a T!

♥

From flowers and raiment, to locations and entertainment, every element was thought out meticulously. The day was full of beauty, passion, friendships, and love.

Michael and Meghan live in our nation’s capital, but they both were raised (and met) in Northern NY. Naturally, they returned to their roots to celebrate their new beginning, surrounded by friends and family.

The groomsmen were donned in ties of various patterns and shades of green. They were individually chosen, by Michael, as personalized gifts.

The girls were a blast! Each wore a unique gown, accenting their own distinctive charisma.

Charming from head to toe!

Michael and Megan surprised their guests by secretly taking dance lessons. They did a fabulous job! Everyone was truly elated.

For parting gifts, everyone received a baby spruce on the way out. A fantastic gift that keeps on giving!

There were so many great photos, it was very hard for me to pick just a few. I’m still finishing up with this one though. So, don’t be surprised if I post a few more down the line!

Thank you, Michael and Meghan, for your blind trust! Hiring a photographer without meeting in person can be a very nerve racking experience. I am delighted and honored to have been chosen.

Congratulations!

California Dreamin’ – Megan & Steve

Last month, I had the pleasure of shooting a west coast wedding!

♥

Steve and Megan live in sunny Southern California.

When Megan contacted me about covering her wedding, I was thrilled! The days could not come fast enough. (What better excuse to squeeze in a little holiday?!) Who doesn’t love the west coast? Although, I admit, this was my first time south of the Bay Area. Everyone has always told me how much nicer it is in Southern California. Now, I understand!

Holding true to character, California delivered an absolutely beautiful day. Intimately set outside at a distant country club, the ceremony was modest and elegant. It was everything a wedding should be.

Thank you so much Megan and Steve! You made me feel like family with all of your hospitality. You know who to call if you ever feel like visiting Virginia Beach! I hope you enjoy your wedding photos for generations to come.

Rita & Andrew – for Scott Robert Photography

Anyone who knows me well has most likely heard me rave on and on about Scott Robert Lim.

He is only one of the top-leading wedding photographers in the nation’s industry!

I had the extreme pleasure of shooting alongside (or should I say over-the-shoulder) of him and another colleague during my visit to California last month.

The following are some favorites I shot for Rita & Andrew. Please note that some images (the good ones) were set-up by Scott Robert. I have placed credits below each of those images. If you are interested, I highly suggest that you check out Scott’s website and blog. His creativity has no limits!

Thank you so much Scott, for letting me be a part of Rita & Andrew’s special day! And, thank you to Rita and Andrew too!

Andrew and Rita chose to have a “first viewing” before the ceremony. Here, he anxiously awaits to see his beautiful bride for the first time.

After the first viewing, the bridal party headed out for formal shots.

A break in the shade. That California sun is a scorcher!

Hey! That’s the bride’s parasol!

Andrew, a.k.a. “The Turtle Man”, has an extreme passion for turtles.

There were several tears of joy. A beautiful ceremony.

All of the place cards and tables were marked with a distinctive and unique, rare species of turtle.

Each centerpiece included a photo, taken by Andrew, of one (or, in this case, two) of his most rare turtles. He had personally raised each and every one of them.

The cuff links!

During the reception, the couples played the kissing game. I’ve never seen so many kisses in one day!

Everyone had such an amazing time.

To see more of Rita and Andrew, keep an eye on Scott Robert’s blog!

This is Megan & Steve.

They wanted something nice to display during their reception. We had to pull together a quick few shots before the big date.

With only one week until the wedding, everyone was thrilled with the turnout. Myself included.

How do you think they turned out?

Winter Blah Blues

Jaclyn Robinson — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 00:22:04 +0000

There’s something about living in the North Country during the winter that makes a human want to hibernate.

I suppose it could be caused by the average high temperatures falling in the twenties, thirties on a good day. Or perhaps, it may be because of the indecorous winds that blow through to the bone. Even the thought of making a quick run to the store can sometimes, and lately often, include an extra half hour to shovel the driveway. Again. (It is truly hard to imagine how the pioneers made it through without the comforts of today.)

What, outside of sheer necessity, could make anyone in their right mind want to bear these harsh conditions?

I have repeatedly asked myself this same question. I believe I know the answer.

Passion.

Only something you are truly passionate about could lead you to voluntarily brave such menacing winds and arctic terrain. That would be snowboarding for my husband; sledding for my daughter.

For me, that passion is photography.

I recently coaxed a couple out into the cold. We didn’t stay too long. (It was one of the good days, with a high of 27 degrees, and only slightly blustery.) The skies weren’t exactly what I was hoping for, but I am really happy with the resulting images. Furthermore, they both were extremely overjoyed.

Here are a few of them:

Thank you so much for daring to venture out with me. It was a blast of fresh air.

For everyone else out there, I’d love to hear your reasoning. What is it that you would face the cold for? What is your passion?
