It’s my first post of 2012 and I’m going to kick it off with Diane + Dave!  Side note: Putting blog posts together might be one of my favorite things to do, aside from shooting. :)

So back to Diane + Dave… They got married back in September with their ceremony and reception all taking place in Farmington.  Actually, their wedding I believe was the first wedding for then new venue, Farmington Gardens.  Spirits were high, love was in air and it was a grand day of celebrating! :)

Shout out to Sidney Chang for shooting with me and suffering many a mosquito bites.   And, as always, super thankful to Diane + Dave for having me photograph their day. All my best! xo

Now let’s get onto some pictures…

Jamie + Ryan’s September wedding took place on Ryan’s family’s private estate.   All of the details from the DIY centerpieces to the tent rentals and such were planned and coordinated by Jamie and their moms.  The joy in the air was absolutely infectious as everyone enjoyed a perfect wedding day.  

Shout out to Candace Jeffery for second shooting with me and Hawley Schneider for working the photobooth.  Much appreciation for those two sweet ladies!

 

Tried something new with the first look.  I think it’s a keeper.
