Sigh.  I love the beach.  I love beach weddings even more.  The only way it could be better is when it’s one of your best friend’s weddings and you get to record the ritual!  Enjoy this intimate event! (click on the thumbnails to view larger)

Huge changes coming for the studio!  I can’t wait to share – I’m SOO excited!  Stay tuned – hopefully will be announcing something before the end of the month!

OMG this is the most amazing album!  In our continuous search for the very best, Allegra’s Studio has expanded our existing relationship with a fabulous USA based album binder!  Locally constructed by hand these albums are just incredible works of art.  This latest album features a custom split toned cover with a floral image centered and lined in silver.  Inside, each image is beautifully highlighted with fine art white on white mats.  Thank you to Carrie and Patrick for allowing me to capture your wedding memories!

Gorgeous flowers by Rod Meek for a fabulous bridal portrait session this week.  I can’t show you the bride’s pictures yet as my policy is to not display bridal sessions until after the wedding has occurred (dont want to ruin the bride’s big moment!), but thought the flowers were worth their own post!

I love asking my “anniversary” question – wedding photography is such a personal service that while “I” know I have captured and created amazing images at every wedding, it’s so enlightening to read from my clients which ones are their favorites and why.

From April and James’s Roanoke wedding at Maridor last summer…

One of my favorites is the picture of the ceremony in a different lighting (I think it was black and white and maybe negative?  Or the photo that looked very bright of the ceremony but you could tell it had just rained).  I love it because it really summed up the day – we were all so worried about the rain, and then the sun came out for us and it was just a truly beautiful ceremony.

James says his favorites are any of the ones of us dancing because he loved how much fun we were having and how your photos captured that.
