This was one of those days that you only dream of getting married on.  After weeks and weeks of summer temperatures in the high 90s – this was one of the first days that said “fall is coming!”   There was a lovely chill to the breeze of an otherwise hot day – a perfect outdoor wedding day!  This gorgeous couple had two of the best smiles that I’ve ever seen!  I just know that they will have many many years of smiles ahead of them!  Congrats Kimmone and Patrick I’m so glad I was able to be there to help capture your special day!

And a special thanks to Lori of www.lorisuzannephotography.com for inviting me along to help her with this wedding – it was truly an honor to get to shoot with you and I had a blast!

What can I say?  Fall is inspiring me!  Fall weddings…ahh…  I think if I could pick any time of the year to get married, it would be in the fall.  It’s just so romantic with the leaves falling and the gorgeous, rich fall sunsets.  LOVE.  So…I created three fall inspired wedding storyboards.  All three storyboards use the same bride and groom wardrobes as inspiration – but they each have totally unique looks.  I love the fact that you don’t have to use pumpkins and leaves in your decor to have a fall themed wedding – here I used the color orange as my inspiration in all three storyboards – yet one is more rustic and casual, one is more classic and elegant, and one is a good mixture – sweet yet sophisticated.  Which would you pick?  Would love to hear your thoughts on these wedding inspirations!  **Note: none of the images used in these storyboards are mine – they are clips gathered from online to demonstrate how I would stylize a fall wedding.

Well it’s that time of year again!  Time for pumpkins, and hot chocolate, and leather boots, and warm fuzzy hats!  There is a chill in the air!  And what does fall bring?….family portrait time!!  If you are looking for portraits for Christmas cards, now is the perfect time!  The leaves are starting to turn and it is just gorgeous outside!  Of course there are many traditional “Christmas” outfits you could wear, but I suggest embracing this fall’s jewel tone fashion and going to town!  These colors are just gorgeous together!  I created these outfit suggestions for an upcoming client, but thought I would share them here since I love them so much!  Enjoy!  (and call me soon if you want to book a session in time for sending out Christmas cards or giving portraits as gifts – really…not trying to pressure you…but time is running out!)  Love, S

If you would like to know what God’s love is all about, then get to know this couple!  These two are a shining beacon of the kind of love that is possible between a couple when God is placed in first priority.  Meisho and Sara – I had a BLAST during this photoshoot with you guys!  May God continue to pour His blessings on you and your upcoming marriage!
