Love you guys and can't wait for your wedding!

Over the Summer months I’ve had some great engagement sessions.  I love this time with my couples because the camera barrier is broken down and we really get to know each other.  Not that I ever want it to happen again but the time I had with Erin and Dave while being cited for trespassing was a big bonding moment.  Also, spending an hour or two playing around tells me who they are and gives me better direction for the wedding portraits.  Most people have a certain look whether it’s straight faced or all smiles, romantic or edgy and most have a “good side.”  However, those details aren’t really known until they spend some time taking, and looking at, their pictures.  Now when the wedding day comes, I’ll be more like a friend showing up rather than just the photographer.  I can’t wait!

Geez!

Getting back to my blog this morning for a new post, I didn't expect the realization of how long it had been since the last one.  This summer was kind of taken over by a bunch of busy work and overshadowed some of the great things that did happen.  I got to recharge my batteries at a photo seminar in Vegas, our 3 year-old started Pre School, I mixed my BDay/family vacation with an engagement session in NY and trip to Boston for portraits with Jen Rabito and her beautiful family (can't wait to meet Matthew) and a wedding.  More to come on that wedding because they have one of the best stories a photographer could ever hear- the groom is completely blind yet photo/video were the most important vendors in the hope of one day seeing their wedding.  I tear-up thinking about them.  So, I did have a great summer, just not sure where it went.
