Torie & Derrick






With all the rain we had this spring so far, we really lucked out on the weather for Torie and Derrick's wedding day. It's in my contract - all brides get great weather :-} Boy wouldn't that make me special! The vineyard setting was beautiful and was the bride and groom. This was one of the most delightful families that I have had the honor to work with. I feel a lifelong friendship developing. It is I think, what I love about being a wedding photographer. Torie's dress was stunning, with elegant pleated tiers at the bottom and the swarovski crystals in her veil. She looked like an angel. To see more pictures from their wedding click here

The hardest part about this shoot was finding a day that is wasn't raining! What a wet spring we have had. The couple wanted the shoot to take place on her grandmother's farm. This place was a photographer's dream. It had barns, tractors, horses, and an amazing view. The wonderful natural light coming from within the barn made for some great HDR pictures. (HDR is short for high dynamic range - a very cool technique of bringing out detail in photos and giving it a great look) They were so much fun, and I had a great time with both Anna Kate and Tom. I can't wait to shoot their wedding next month.
