You know, it's funny how when I get home from shooting photos, and I start looking through them, how what you learned from spending time with someone matches up with what you see in the photos. 

I have a tendency of, after taking photos of a wedding or an event, letting them sit untouched for a few days so that I can come back to the pictures with a fresh outlook (I realize I used to do this when writing papers in college- write it, leave it alone for a few days, then come back to it and re-read it once I've forgotten some of the details).  When I started editing Alyssa & Paul's photos, I realized that she is cracking up in just about every one of them... and I realized just how petite she really is!

We stopped to take a photo and Alyssa recommended we start by doing a "Saved By the Bell"-esque, Kelly and Zack, Super BFF photo, just to loosen things up:

I'd say that's about as close as you can get, short of having Mark- Paul Gosselaar and Tiffany Amber Thiesen there!

As we walked along, I saw this super cute giant dog metal statue thing, that I guess had not sold as quickly as the shop owners had hoped:

I found this crazy crooked tree and stopped, attempting to get a very romantic photo, but got more laughs instead, which was just fine with me!

Then, walking out towards the ocean, we found this beautiful, rickety old fence

which led us to one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen in Florida, and my favorite shot of the day:

PS: somewhere in this fabulous sand, my Bluetooth fell out of my ear and is now probably being eaten by a crab or a lobster or something.  If anyone finds a sad, lonely, blinking its last blink Bluetooth somewhere on the beach, please contact me!

In putting up photos of Jess and Cole's wedding, I realized I had not posted any pics from their engagement session, taken about 8 months before the wedding.

These pictures were taken in Seaside, Florida- the place where the couple planned on honeymooning.

I love this photo because it shows Jessica's awesome smile... she says she doesn't love it because it looks like she's trying to bite off his eyebrow.  You be the judge:

Check out Jessica's pimptastic engagement ring, designed by Cole and a jeweler: BLING!

This one is my favorite of the day- it makes me feel all happy inside

I was going through the photos of Monica & Scott's wedding and I remembered this one picture I took of them when we did their engagement photos that I just loved, and I thought I would share it:

I don't think I ever asked what it was that Scott was whispering into her ear, but whatever it was, it made for about the best 'cracking up' face ever.  I love when you look at a photograph and you can almost feel what it would have been like to have been there, to have been one of the people in the photo.  Looking at Monica's face, at the way the two of them interacted with each other made me feel so happy and proud that I was going to get to be a part of this awesome duo's wedding :)

I have all these photos on the slideshow on my site, so I thought I'd go through them and explain some... for example:

I met Danielle and Bart when they were hunting for photographers to shoot their wedding in beautiful Seaside, Florida.  A few months later, we got together to take their engagement photos on the beach in Seaside.  This photo was one of the very first ones we took, and I love the way Danielle looks all Marilyn Monroe-esque with her come hither eyes! 

I loved the way they held each others' hands and how absolutely beautiful Danielle's skin is:
0013_IMGrevised.jpg
This was fun: we found a little hut where they sold hot dogs and grilled cheesed sandwiches, and Coca Colas in glass bottles sitting in a big tub of ice.  I felt like we had traveled back in time.

As the three of us start walking toward the water, Danielle casually mentions that she wants to take some photos of them in the water.  At this point, I look at her, thinking she can't possibly want to get in the water when it was still pretty chilly at that time, but she was serious.  So, we edged our way closer and closer to the water's edge:
0035_IMGrevised.jpg
And closer so they could get a taste of the frigid Gulf waters:
0055_IMGrevised.jpg
Still with the decision firm in her mind, Danielle said "Let's just do it already!", so the two of them at first got into a few inches of water.  It was awesome because she was right, the photos looked awesome, but also because, at this point, I was still dry:
0065_IMGrevised.jpg
The problem was, we all thought these water pics were really cool and so I though, if they are awesome here, how much cooler would they be if they were all the way in the water?  Danielle and Bart agreed to move our session into the ocean, but inevitably, this meant I had to get in the ocean too- fully dressed in jeans and a sweater.  It was so worth it:
