Show me the BLOG!

Wow, between the end of the year rush of weddings and portraits and holiday time with my family (not to mention a couple of yucky colds) the blog has really fallen off the radar.

I've been playing around with some more fun and interesting blogging options as I ready myself for my new brand and website in 2010 and came up with a unique style of blogging that will fit well with the new look and feel we're after.

Here's a sample of what we're up to - hope you enjoy it!

Happy Holidays!

Bess - A Country-Style Bridal Session

Bess is a natural beauty with an earthy style, so we chose a rustic country location for her bridal portraits.

I hope you enjoy this sample set from her bridal portrait session as much as I do!

Another Successful Cyber Romance

As a product of online romance myself, I love stories of people who meet online and fall in love. After exchanging some online messages, Alexandra and Jerry talked for over 4 hours the first time they spoke on the phone. Two days later, they had their first date and have been together ever since.

Their beautiful country wedding at Hodgin Valley Farm was the perfect start to a wonderful life together.

I hope you enjoy this collection of photos from their wedding day.










Our beautiful bride, all ready to go!





This place is one of North Carolina's prettiest wedding venues...



Alexandra was given away by her mother...

















Fancy moon shot. Ask me how I did it sometime...



Congratulations, Alexandra & Jerry!

Kari's Bridal Portraits

So the lovely Kari Lucisani married Cute Kyle Quinn this past weekend. (All the girls told me to call him that). I think you will all agree that Kari is one incredibly beautiful bride. I won't comment on Kyle's apparent cuteness. (Check out their June blog to decide for yourself!)

Here's a few of my favorites from her bridal session...wedding photos soon to follow:
