Wedding Bliss

These shots* were taken at Adam and Fabricia's wedding last Saturday night, which was a beautiful snowy evening.  It was a wonderful wedding and we hope they have a beautiful life together.

The toasting glasses

The vows.

Seriously, have you seen a more beautiful bride.  Fabricia was simply stunning.

Exchanging rings.

First kiss as a married couple.

Fabricia's stunning flowers.

Listening to the toast.

Cutting the cake.

* The Speedlite flash that Lee got me for Christmas has totally changed my life.  Beyond the fact that the recycle speed is fast (so I'm not missing low light shots anymore), it has drastically cut down on red eye repair and the tones of color photos are beautiful.  I'm totally in love with it, even though I'm still learning how to use it.

Trash the Dress

Sarah asked me to take pictures of her "trashing" her wedding dress - as some of you, the new thing is, after your wedding day, wearing the dress again and doing all sorts of things you would never do on your wedding day for fear of getting the dress dirty, wrinkled, etc.  We took pictures in her yard, in a tree, with her cats, at the Wadsworth Mansion, in the leaves and on a stone wall.  It was very neat and Sarah was a great sport (she's also the most self-confident woman I know!).  Here are some of my favorites.  For more pictures, click here.

This one is very fun - swinging away!

This is one of Sarah's favorite - cropped like this and in black and white.

I love the colors in this one - from the sky to the trees to the wall to the leaves on the ground.

My new "special effect" - fogging the lens to add some drama to the shot.

Beautiful Bride
