kim + greg married.

well, they were married in november of 09, but it still counts! STILL catching up on blogging.

kim and greg were my last wedding of 09, and boy did they bring my year to an end in style! these two are simply fabulous. kim is one of the funniest people i have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and the two of them together are a blast! it was so fun to revisit these images because i was reminded just how animated kim was throughout the day. i always tell couples that their wedding day images will be a collection of interactions and spontaneous emotion, and encourage them to be as real and as comfortable as they can be in front of the camera.

here is what happens when that happens:

LOVE this series of kim putting on her dress. so honest!








father and daughter refusing to look at each other to avoid pre ceremonial tears. so sweet.


stolen glance as the priest turns away for a moment.


evening weddings in november (especially rainy ones!) are difficult to shoot outdoors. so what to do? shoot the formals in the bathroom of the venue of course!

kim's mom admiring the happy couple.


that's right. i did put all of the bridesmaids in the bathtub for their pictures. and i'd do it again if i had to.




my favorite shot of the day: this is how they reacted to me telling them to flirt...


the toasts:


again, no tears!


admit it. it's happened once or twice. when someone has been praying you've been trying reeeeeally hard not to laugh.


you all know i'm a sucker for the father daughter dance.




and the party begins...

I can't recommend Kelly's services enough to any potential bridal clients out there. I've spent hours looking at her beautiful pictures from the wedding and each time they put the biggest smile on my face. She's so fun to work with the day of the wedding, it was hard to resist the temptation to put her in a bridesmaid dress so we could keep her for the after party.

As a daddy's girl, I almost cried at those father-daughter dance pics! So cute.

Trust me there were tears in my eyes! You did an incredable job on the pictures! Granted you had a great bride and groom to work with but you managed to capture in photos a true fairy tale wedding. Thank you!

Our house is now redecorated with all of your beautiful photos. Your video montage was sent to every person who ever touched Kim's life. Kim has been plannnig her fairy tale wedding since she was five and it couldn't have been any more magical. Your photos captured the joy and excitement of the day. I am so glad that Kim chose you to record her wedding.

more wedding envy. i think i'm going to get married again...same husband, new photographer. i love them all. would it be weird if i had framed pictures of kim and greg all around my house?

I know I'm Kim's aunt, but wasn't she the most happiest bride that you've ever seen? The pictures captured all the emotion -even Gregs loving look at his beautiful wife.

Mike & I had a great time at the wedding, but since it's such a blur, thank goodness for your pictures to remind us of the fun, the love, and our wonderful friends and family.
