Juan + Karen: Post Wedding Session at the Modern Wing

We love any opportunity to get together with our couples, so when Karen & Juan decided they wanted to do a post wedding session in the city we were thrilled! Post wedding sessions are so great for newlyweds...having candids of the two of you ready to embark on your new journey together and not having to worry about all the things couples' worry about on their wedding day.

Karen & Juan decided to have their shoot at the Modern Wing and since the weather turned out so nice, we were able to spend part of it outside. Who would have guessed that we would be so lucky to have such a gorgeous day in early January?

I love everything about this couple....so carefree and so much love for each other. We had such a fun morning with them and wish them all the best!!

First Day of the New Year

The past few weeks I have been mentioning to Casey that I wanted to snap a few still images of him with no distracting backgrounds or colors...just him. This morning I woke up and thought today is a perfect day for a mini photo shoot.

Wishing You A Safe & Happy New Year!

Its crazy that in a split second tonight another year will come to an end; the feeling of change welcomed. I know everyone says this, but this year went by so unbelievably fast. For the first time I forgot how old I was on more than once occasion. We set quite a few goals for ourselves this year, many were attained and some were even exceeded. It feels great to finally have a moment to re-evaluate the year and set our goals for 2012. Have a safe & Happy New Year!

An Intimate Wedding: Karen & Juan

Intimate weddings are such an absolute joy to document because it really highlights the emotions not only from the couple but their families and friends. It was such a joy to capture Karen & Juan's ceremony & reception this past weekend. With Thanksgiving just days away, I hope these images will showcase some of the things we all can be thankful for....friends, family, and love.
