Melissa and Frank 9-24

I was privileged to  photograph Melissa and Frank on their Wedding Day -- September 24th 2016. It was a small ceremony attended by family and friends and their daughter Savannah. I was honored to share their day with them and capture these special moments. I am sharing some of the highlights of the day. 

Melissa getting ready -- and Savannah had to be a part of it :D 

I was keeping an eye on Savannah for a few minutes and she stood up and posed for me. I love the smile on her face. 

Frank and the minster waiting for Melissa to arrive 

A wide view of the ceremony -- we liked this one because you can see the stained glass windows ... 

And showing the cross ...

Savannah looking lovely 

Savannah was so good -- this is on the stairs ... 

I love this one because they are by the wedding sign and you can see one or the pumpkins Melissa used to decorate ... 

We had scoped this location out before hand. Luckily on that day the light and wind cooperated with us. Love how it turned out 

This was just too cute not to share -- it speaks all about the love of this beautiful family ,,,

Another location we had looked at before hand -- I had to use a really wide angle and stand back but the church and sky behind them are awesome and luckily there were no cars at that moment :D 

had to get at least one more kissing picture 

This is in one of the archways on the steps of the church. The light behind them was so beautiful we had to get some pictures -- this is one of my favorite from the whole day :D 

and again Savannah was a trouper -- for being 10 months old she was very patient and smiled a lot 

Such a beautiful moment ... 

and this one too -- captures the joy of the day ... 

Loved the cake toppers .... 

And feeding each other the cake --  

they were so nice to each other ..

Thank you so much Melissa and Frank for sharing your special day with me. It was beautiful and I was happy to be able to capture and share these moments with you. 

And thank you to my viewers and friends for always sharing my photos with me. I have been taking a lot of different and fun fall photos lately and will probably do a blog post with some of those soon.. 

Fall colors , mist and other fun things

Its been a while since I did a blog post -- been busy taking photos for the library and other events and not so many for myself (not a bad thing). I'm loving the fall colors and the mist so this post is full of those type of photos 

some of the pretty fall leaves at my mom's house 

the beautiful colors against a beautiful sky 

from inside during a rain storm -- loved how the light was streaming  through the drops 

love this affect -- we had a quick rain shower and when the sun came back out the rain turned to mist on the roof and the light made a few small rainbows that my lens captured 

just loved the colors and the shadows here (this is my mom's house ) 

this is all about the composition 

this was at sunset -- the mist in the trees was awesome and I loved how the light was just on the top of the trees... 

and as it got a little darker -- and the light highlighted the flag in the front 

and an even closer view of the mist

this is a field across the street at the same time -- loved the mist in the field 

I love spooky moons -- took this one sometime in September and had to share 

I loved the colors and the light and also how you can see the sky through part of the overpass 

loved the colors of the sky and the way it reflected in the windows... 

mist in the morning -- I love how it surrounded the steeple of this church 

and some of the dew in the bushes .... 

and loved how the building emerging from the mist 

and of course I had to include a mist photo of  the library -- my favorite part of this one is the way the plants in the pedestal vases are dripping down in front of the buildin 

another fall evening photo -- I loved the color of the sky and the wheat in front 

sharing this one because of the pink stripes in the sky 

loved the colors of the clouds -- this is a sunrise ... 

my first ever sighting of a rainbow spot -- super cool to see in the sky 

and a wider view to show just how big the spot really is

this just says fall to me ...

pumpkins just because its fall 

this was the barn at the cider mill we went to -- loved the falling leaves around it 

there were still sunflowers there so I had to share them  

a barn by the corn fields -- so pretty 

and finally a shot of the cornfields again -- I loved the red leaves ...


So here is my first taste of fall photos -- I'm sure I will be taking and sharing more over the next few weeks. Thanks as always for enjoying my photos with me ....
