Marina and Matt – About to be Married!

Jess — Tue, 04 May 2010 15:36:48 +0000

You may remember Marina for the bridal shower fiesta, so below is a familiar face! Matt and Marina will officially tie the knot May 28th and we really wanted to get an engagement session in before then! We were all able to sync our calendars to meet for an pre-wedding engagement session last Sunday and it’s time for me to show off some of my extended family members! Marina is my husband’s cousin so this wedding is getting the extra special treatment! There are a ton of favorites from the session and I’ll try to keep this post within reason…

We started at the Lancaster County Central Park – one of my favorite places to shoot. I love the outdoors and I love the options the park provides. Rockford Plantation is a local favorite, not only for history buffs but for weddings! Check it out if you’re planning a wedding! Okay, enough chit-chat… enjoy a few images!

This should probably be my ending shot, as it looks AMAZING on my blog! You guys are so freaking cute together!

Gorgeous!

I love capturing the “fun” couples have!

Change of venue…

Trees, trees and more trees!

After we had enough of the grass and trees we headed downtown for a few shots in the city! Matt’s the county boy and Marina is the city girl – we had to be sure to incorporate both aspects of their lives in this shoot!

Classic downtown Lancaster shot!

I was so ready to join them! It’s the beginning of May and we were all ready to jump in the pool! It ended up being rather warm! Good thing we started early!

I had so much fun with these two, I can’t wait for their wedding day! Not only are they going to be a beautiful couple I know they’re going to have a fantastic day together and having the privileged of capturing the memories means the world to me!

Matt and Marina – enjoy the next few weeks and all the final prep for your big day! It’ll be here before you know it! Get ready to enjoy the best day of your life (up to now) and I’ll see you on the 28th!

Nicole’s City Session

You might remember Nicole from over the summer at Rockford Plantation. Well, we finally were able to schedule her second session in the city. It was another cold November Sunday, but we worked quickly and got some great shots. Here are a few of my favs from the session.

We started ontop of the Orange Street garage. This was a short stay because it was windy! We managed just a few shots where Nicole’s hair wasn’t blowing all over creation… here is one

Atop the Garage

Here we are along the streets of market again.

Market Chillin

My purple door was “open” so we couldn’t use it — but we still had fun with all the red and bricks!

Red Door Corner

This is the first time I’ve worked with this window. It was PERFECT for Nicole! I found a new fav spot. Thankfully it wasn’t full of all kinds of crazy decorations and advertisements like all the others were.

Window Seat Two

Window Seat Flipped

Here are a few from Steinman Park…

Pretty Lady

Black and White

Tree Pose

Tree Hug

Mysterious Nicole

Now this last shot is going to be one of those shots that many will like and just as many won’t. I always like messing with my photos in various post production processess to see what I can create. This has it’s own look to it. It’s a little mysterious, a little sexy, and just eye-grabbing… what do you think – 16×24 gallery warp worthy??

I think this is the last of my seionr sessions until next spring… but stay tuned because I have a few surprises up my sleeve this winter.

Katie Number Two – A GREAT Sport!

Saturday was supposed to be my second attempt with Katie, but the weather decided not to cooperate once again. We decided to brave the cold on Sunday and give her session a shot. If you weren’t outside at all last Sunday — good for you! Boy did winter come knocking! Not only was it cold, but it was windy. Katie put up with a lot and we managed to still get some great shots (even though she was freezing!)

Here are just a few from her session.

One thing you might notice is how I love “serious look” shots. Now, not everyone can be so serious so they don’t always work… but Katie could do it and again I fell in love with her “serious” face.

Okay, we’ll smile some more!

I love this purple door! One day I’m going to have my picture taken in front of it! It’s just a great color purple!

Not quite serious, not quite a smile…

That’s just a sample of her session, towards the end she broke out a great pink scarf! I’m saving those just for Katie!

Miss Katie – Class of 2009

This was my second senior session on Sunday… I’m not going to bore you with crazy narrative. I’ll just say that Katie and I had an absolute BLAST downtown. This was my first time shooting a senior in downtown Lancaster. I’ve been there with wedding partys and with just my camera… and now I have a whole new set of scenery to add to the blog. Enjoy the many “faces” of Katie!

Again, the rest of the images from her shoot can be found in my client proofing page.

Until next time!
