Hello world.  I wanted to take a minute to post some photos from Bonnie & Dennis’ Wedding back in June.  As I said before in my sneak, I had the opportunity to shoot alongside the fabulous Dana Duncan down in Hampton Roads, VA.  I always appreciate SO much when other photographers share advice and just little pointers on what made them a better photographer.  It’s by far the best way for anyone to learn and grow more in this industry and so this post goes out to you… Miss Dana… you da best!  Thank you.

So I have been swamped to say the least it feels like for over a month now, pulling late nights, waking up at 6:00am to start work and then somewhere in there trying to throw in a much needed workout!  Whew!  Anyhoodle… I finally finished Megan & Brain’s slideshow!

They are the best… hope you can really get a feel of their day from watching!  Enjoy!

Megan + Brian’s Wedding

From the moment I met Megan and Brian the morning of their engagement shoot, I could see their love for each other simply by noticing the way they glanced at each other from across the living room.  I’ll admit it almost made me jealous.  You know, that kind of love where you just get each other.  You can read each others minds when there is no expression on one anothers face.  It’s like some ESP thing, I swear.

The morning of their wedding, I woke up to pouring rain.  I mean lots and lots and lots of rain.  All I could think about was that I hoped Megan was still sleeping.   The weather finally broke about two hours before their ceremony, so it was perfect weather for me to shoot in!  When Megan came walking down the isle, I wanted so desperately to look at Brians reaction, but I forced myself to focus on shooting.  She was a breathtaking bride to say the least.  Megan is simply amazing. And Brian makes her amazing-er.

The day was filled with lots of love and dancing… lots of dancing.  When I saw Megan go upstairs to change into sandals for the remainder of the evening… I knew it was on.  Girl can cut up a rug!

Megan & Brian… thank you for truly being yourselves in front of my camera.  Your love shines through every photo… Enjoy!

Oh, right… I forgot to mention there was a hot air balloon that landed in the field next to the reception!

This may just be my all time favorite dancing photo… check out the moves on these two!

This weekend I visited one of the most cute and quaint places on earth.  It was heavenly, wrapped up in a little box with a red bow on it.

Megan & Brian’s wedding was a blast this weekend!  I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of people that really knew how to get down with their bad selves like this group did.  Mad props to the Austin & Philpott families.  Stay tuned for more photos this week!
