I always love getting reflection shots. This is one of the early photos that I took when Lindsay was getting ready. It was a small area and I was actually standing in the doorway to get this shot. I saw looking in the mirror and knew I had to capture it...
Another fun moment before the ceremony. -- relaxing with the bottle of wine and no shoes (yet)
The bride and her maid of honor the lighting in the room made it challenging and I think they were actually posing for the videographer or maybe even one of the other bridesmaids but I knew it was a classic moment I had to get
The bride and her girls -- this was in the hotel room and I was actually on a chair on the deck to get it but it worked well . This one is special because Lindsay made all the bracelets ...
...and since we got all the wrists I had o get all the shoes. Still standing on the chair but totally worth it. One of those fun details that aren't planned but add to the experience
Still in the hotel room here. The bride's side of the wedding party was ready to go. I asked them to get in a group and we had them stagger the colors. I was still standing on the chair -- but it worked perfectly....
From the first look so still before the ceremony. I love how I captured Michael in front of all the guys
And here is the moment that Lindsay came up behind him. I loved how she tapped him on the shoulder and I caught it . I was paying more attention than the guys in the background -- lol
I loved the expression on both their faces. He was telling her that she looked beautiful :D
And now all the guys cheer and they all look so happy -- love that I got this moment
The place we were taking photos -- General Potters Farm was so beautiful and the day was gorgeous. This was one of the formal shots we took between the first look and the ceremony. I especially love Lindsay's hand placement in this one.
Looking back as they were heading up the hill to the ceremony
The whole bridal party -- before the ceremony -- I had to use my wide angle lens and stand way back to get them. It was awesome to have the hill behind them though. The perfect spot for a group photo . I also love how Lindsay and Michael are looking at each other ....
One of the few pictures I got of Michael while he was waiting to go into the ceremony. He was standing by the window . I love the expression on his face...
The lighting in the basement where the ceremony was made it challenging to get good shots and there were quite a few people in the small space, but by moving around I was able go get this one of Lindsay giving Michael his ring.
This moment was right after the first kiss -- I love how deeply they are gazing into each other's eyes....
After the ceremony we went back outside for more formal pictures. These group of trees were at the top of the hill and it was the perfect fall backdrop
One of my favorite formal poses of the ladies
and then we did this for fun
Charlie's Angels
The water made such a lovely backdrop and I love how much of the veil you can see ...
The guys were having fun and were pretending to throw Michael in the water. Lindsay saw it and wanted to help. They were such a fun group to work with.
Lindsay and Michael really wanted to get some pictures on swings. This is when I asked them to stand for a few moments. A kiss seemed appropriate and I love the composition in this one.
We got the whole bridal party around the swings. It was challenging but we got them all in -- so much fun
We took a bus to get to the school where the swings were. We decided to get some photos of everyone hanging out the windows but first we focused on Lindsay and Michael. Loved the expressions in this one ...
Being presented as Man and Wife at the reception. I really liked the way I framed this one.
Sitting together at the head table. Some of the guests were taking pictures with thier phones and I stood behind them and got this one. I love the candles and the champagne on the table ...
Thier first dance as husband and wife. I love this because it shows how much fun they are ...
And the kiss after the first dance .... I love the lights on the pole and how they add sparkle to the moment ...
Group photos during the reception. I had to stand on a chair and use the wide angle lens but we got it
I really liked this smaller grouping and the purple light in the corner...
This is toward the end of the night and everyone was getting tired.
I love how Lindsay is leaning into Michael
And I will close with the kiss after the cake. Such a nice simple shot.. I really love it.
I have so many more images I could share. It was a great day and everyone was so kind and patient. A lot of photos were taken and again I am so grateful to them for sharing their special day with me. Thanks for sharing my photos with me and congratulations Lindsay and Michael.
