Second Shooting in Maryland

img_9194-edit

I had an amazing weekend!  I flew out last Thursday to go second shoot with Jennifer Garbett in Annapolis and Ocean City, Maryland.  Wow… beautiful!  2 AZ photographers and a countryside full of tall grasses, rustic barns, huge trees, greenery, beaches, architecture, and history…. well, let’s just say we could have shot all day long.

Unfortunately, we had a 3 1/2 hour drive out to Ocean City and ran out of time to shoot everywhere we wanted.  OK, we could have spent a week there and still barely touch the locations we would want to photograph.  I’ve got to admit, I’m a tad bit jealous of you east coast photographers.  However, you can have that MISERABLE humidity!  Wow.  I thought AZ heat was bad.  When I head out in 2 hours for my family shoot tonight, I will be counting my blessings that I am not back in that humidity.

Luckily, Saturday and Sunday were BEAUTIFUL… so we really got to take advantage of some gorgeous weather to explore DC.  I will be posting more about that trip later.

Now, on to the highlight of the weekend… Tiffany and Gerry.  They are an amazing couple - beautiful, nice, accommodating, and photogenic and fun!  I especially enjoyed second shooting and just getting the shots I wanted to.  It really was great.  Thanks, Jen, for letting me tag along!

P.S. Sorry the images are all different sizes.  I have no idea why it is not consistent.  I spent too much time trying to troubleshoot and just gave up.

Andrea — Breathtaking Marnee!   ( July 1, 2009 @ 10:41 am )

Jen — A second shooter who worked it with not one but TWO cameras on the hip at any given time and NO direction needed. Yeah, I could get used to always working weddings with you =)   ( July 1, 2009 @ 3:00 pm )

Emily — Amazing... You do such wonderful work it makes me want to get married again just to have you shoot it!   ( July 7, 2009 @ 11:11 am )

Happy 10th Anniversary, Mike!

Wow!  10 years.  Really?  Am I really that old?  I sure don’t feel it.

I’m feeling a tad bit guilty today as I leave my husband in a couple hours to go out to DC to second shoot a wedding with Jennifer Garbett. I mean, who leaves their spouse on their 10th anniversary to share a hotel room with someone else?  OK, that came out wrong, but you get the idea.  Not that idea!  Come on people!

But, I quickly pointed out that he left me first this morning to work, so really, I’m just slipping away to work after him (and will just be gone for a few extra days.)  Besides, we took that amazing 7-day cruise a few weeks back as our celebration!   And to be honest, I don’t think there is anyway we could top that!

Needless to say, I am incredibly grateful to have such an amazing husband!  He is my best friend.  It really doesn’t matter what I am doing, I would just rather be with him.  It is silly (yes, Mike, I used that word for you), but we will spend Saturdays running errands together rather than divide and conquer!  Somehow braving Costco on a Saturday with 3 kids AND Mike ends up being more enjoyable than doing it alone.  Notice I did not say easier?

He is the most kind, patient, understanding, and supportive person I know.  He is so giving, selfless and random.  He loves his family and truly does all he can to make us all happy.  I know, an impossible task, but he does try and does succeed more often than you can imagine.

I could go on and on about Mike, but will leave with a few very dated wedding pictures.- illegally scanned from my wedding album created by Rick Mueller 10 years ago… you know, pre-digital days.

Jen — Love the wedding pics...you guys are SOOO cute! Happy ANNIVERSARY...10 years is no small accomplishment =)   ( June 25, 2009 @ 1:54 pm )

Mike — Thank you for making me sound so great. But we know that behind every great man is a woman telling him what to do. Thanks for being such a great person - you really do make me a better man. I love you and can't belive it has been 10 years. I seems like just yesterday. I love you and feel very lucky to call you my wife!   ( June 26, 2009 @ 1:14 am )

Christine — I LOVE THESE. Congrats again to you two gorgeous human beings......many more years to come!   ( June 30, 2009 @ 1:59 pm )

Album Design - Megan & Adrian

Here’s a little sneak peak from Megan & Adrian’s album.  Wow… this was a big wedding and a really fun album to design.  I had a hard time not going overboard!

I love this spread - the first time they saw each other on their wedding day.  LOVE this emotion.

This is probably one of my all time favorite ceremony pictures… look at that tear rolling down his face!  Ladies and gentlemen… this is why you hire a professional wedding photographer for your wedding.  We know where to be and when to have the right lens to capture moments like this.  This can’t be set up reproduced or staged!

LaTricia — Truly Beautiful!! They are going to be thrilled!   ( June 22, 2009 @ 7:34 pm )

Becca, Steve, and Evan

We had a wonderful week with my brother and his family in town.  My kids were definitely spoiled with so much attention and so many fun activities.  Who knew you could “vacation” in your own house/city!

Of course, I just had to get a few pictures of them while they were here… I have lots of other pictures from the fun activities of the week, but it just takes me too long to go through my own personal stuff… so here’s some of their family.
