A Picture’s Worth | Photo Blog

Before I post some of Becky & Philip’s favorites, I have to say a few things about their May wedding.

I was incredibly blessed at their wedding. Becky’s mom was the one who hired me since Becky & Philip were living in China, so I met them that morning. They were wonderful. Their ceremony was so full of love … for each other, for their families and for God. There was this awesome time of praise and worship and you could feel God’s presence there. I have had many moments this year where I was just filled up and reminded how God led me to where I am and hand picked my couples for me. This was definitely one of those weddings and I thank Becky and Philip and their families for being so wonderful and kind.

Here are some of their favorites, in their own words:

“Both of us really like the expressions on our faces, the innocence and beauty of that moment…”

“I like this one because it shows how shocked i was when my new husband sang the song “the Prayer” in English and Italian (without me knowing til then)”

“My nephew. He was trying so hard to be good…. but in 146 you can see that he’d been caught…”

#146

“When I look at this one, it brings back so many memories from that day.”

“I like this one because it echos back to a photo my parents took at their wedding – which was also a silouette style.”

Time again for the “in their own words” feature of the blog. I started this after my 2005 season had wrapped up and loved all the participation from my awesome clients. So, I decided to make it an annual thing. Now that all my 2006 weddings are done, I’m looking forward to reconnecting with my couples again, especially those whose weddings I shot at the beginning of the year. It feels like ages ago.

So … if I photographed your wedding, engagement or family pictures this year, email me with some of your favorite pictures and why each image meant something special to you. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

This is a really great family that I took pictures for last year. Michelle sent me her favorites and then wedding season hit and I stopped doing this feature for a while. So I thought I would let their photos be the first. Here they are, in Michelle’s own words.

This is a rare moment where my children can be in such close proximity to each other and still enjoy themselves. Who knew a pumpkin possessed actual magic power?

This photo is special to me because it represents the wonderful love that my parents have for my children. My mom is trying to calm down Andrew as any great Grandma would do and my Dad is just smiling away at how unpredictable the kids can be. They are the best Grandparents!

Here is a nice photo of my family, everyone is smiling and cooperative…well almost eveyone!
