Kate and Brett- September 09

Kate and Brett were married at a church I love dearly, Altadena Valley Presbyterian Church, on a dreary day in September. Amelia Strauss and I COULD have forgotten about the rain though, because of the joy on sweet Kate's face. She was beautiful and happy during the preparation process, but became a different girl altogether when she saw Brett. The smile got bigger, the nerves went away, she just got plain silly. It was a delight!

Kate has a big ole family, and it was fun to see them enjoy each other. The wedding and reception were at the church, with toasts, bubbles and a well-decorated get-away car. But the day was about Kate and Brett and those that love them.

Confession

I must confess, I have had a very grumpy day. It's that time between the crazy Christmas card/family portrait season and the start of wedding season. I really enjoy that down-time for a little while, since the busy season is so full, but now I'm ready for the photography calendar to start filling back up!!!

So, to cheer me up, I've decided to blog a session that makes me happy. This is my best friend, Trisha, and her adorable boys. (You may recognize her from my ad in B'ham Mag or Portico!) They just wanted some good family shots and something for their Christmas card. We had so much fun, as we always do, and got some REALLY great shots. I don't know how to narrow it down for this post!

Let me know how you like it...

Tessa and Blake

Well, like most wedding photographers, I'm finally catching up on blogging all the madness from this fall. Here is a wedding from September or October (I can't even remember which!!!) that I got to do with Amelia Strauss. It was so gorgeous, as are the bride and groom. The ceremony was at Our Lady of Sorrows with an amazing reception at Matt Jones Gallery

Tessa and Blake, I hope things are continuing to go as wonderfully as they started!

REALLY the last.

And here is my very most favorite photo from the day. And one of my top favorites of all time. And now I'm really done with Lindsey and Jamie's beautiful day!

Final post- Lindsey and Jamie

I must confess to you that I have been REALLY enjoying doing nothing at night, which is usually when I blog. I watched tv and movies and wrapped presents.... ok so not nothing, but not blogging :) But I'm back and really going to try to catch up. I have several weddings as far back as August that haven't made an appearance and many family shoots to share!

Here is my final post on Lindsey and Jamie's wedding... no explanation needed!
