Nathan + Erin ~ Brookside Gardens Colorado Wedding

I consider myself extremely privileged to have been a small part of Nathan & Erin's beautiful wedding day. Not only did I get to fly out to Colorado (one of my most favorite places ever) and take photos at an extremely gorgeous venue, of some stunning people, on a perfectly 70-and-sunny spring day...BUT I got to spend the day with an amazing couple who were so excited to start their life together, surrounded by so many people who wanted to celebrate this time with them! I loved the simplicity and elegance of Nathan & Erin's wedding...it truly reflected them as people. Enjoy this preview of some of my favorite shots from the day!

Special shout out to my second shooter, Kristen Spratt, who took some phenomenal photos to add to the collection.  

Michael + Lucy ~ Cape May NJ mini styled shoot

Michael and Lucy had the most gorgeous wedding this past July in California, but generously agreed to dress up again so I could get some shots on the beach that I've always wanted! We went to Cape May, NJ on a crisp but gorgeous night and found a spot that actually looked much more like the Pacific coast (YAY!) than the Jersey shore!

I am so grateful for all the people that made my vision come alive for this shoot: Martha DiCamillo - bridal bouquet & boutonnière, Alexis DiCamillo - makeup & flower crown, Bianca DiCamillo - flower errands & prep, Annie Baranik - 2nd shooter & on-site comedian ;). 

Nick + Brenna ~ Duportail House Wedding Photographer

When I got together with Nick & Brenna a few months before their wedding, they told me that they were getting married outside and that there wasn't really a backup plan if the weather didn't cooperate. So, I crossed my fingers and watched the weather forecast eagerly for 2 weeks leading up to their wedding...and we literally couldn't have gotten a more perfectly sunny-and-60's fall day! Whew!!!

Some of my favorite memories from this day were:

1) Nick constantly rubbing Brenna's arms because he was so worried she was cold (so sweet),

2) the CHEESE cake (not "cheesecake...but cheese cake...you'll see the picture! ;), and

3) the DANCING!!! (the DJ killed it, seriously...it was all I could do not to party with everyone!).

Thanks, Nick & Brenna for inviting me to be a part of this amazing day!
