Robin's Bridal Portraits

You'll remember the lovely Robin from the engagement session I did of her with my little brother (peek here for a refresher). About a month ago, I had the privilege of shooting Robin's bridal portraits at the Boathouse at Sunday Park. Since Robin and B-J got married yesterday, I finally get to share them on the blog! By the way, the last two photos are of Robin in her mother's and then grandmother's wedding dresses. SO cool!

Love the purple shoes!

Heidi and James' Wedding Day

As I indicated in my last post, I was actually one of Heidi's bridesmaids in this wedding. Even though it wasn't my job, I don't really know how to be at a wedding without taking pictures, so I did my best to snap some shots throughout the day. For the photographer's photos from the day, you should check Jeff Simpson Photography's website. They did a GREAT job, and I know their photos, particularly the portraits, are going to be beautiful!

We began the day by getting ready together at Heidi's hotel. You'll see photos of the bridesmaids flowers, and to truly appreciate them, you have to know that Heidi made all of the bouquets. Now, I don't mean that she went to Micheal's and bought silk flowers. I mean that she bought silk. She cut out circles. She hand singed the edges. She sewed jewels into the center. Etc. Etc.

Oh, yeah, and she hand made all of these pinwheels, too!






She also made the blocks for table markers. As in: cutting 2x4s, gluing pieces together, typing up their story, converting the text in photoshop to print backwards, and using an acetone rub to transfer the text to the wood!

The whole day felt like a perfect dream! Congratulations, Heidi and James!

Heidi and James - Tea Ceremony and Rehearsal 7.8.11

You may remember Heidi and James from their carnival engagement session last fall. Heidi was one of my best friends in college and is still a close friend of mine to this day. Last weekend, she and James got married. As I was in the wedding, I wasn't the official photographer, but I did some fun shots in throughout the weekend. Here are some photos I took of the Tea Ceremony at James' family home as well as a few shots during the rehearsal!
