Annette and Ken wed last year, but decided to hold a reception last month to celebrate with their family and friends. And a wonderful reception it was, with decadent food and beautiful decor, but most of all a happy bustling energy that arose from a room filled with so many people who were there to celebrate their love. Joyful voices and cheerful smiles spanned the space from corner to corner – everyone there was just so excited for the two of them (including yours truly)!

Annette & Ken, thank you so much for giving me the honor of documenting this beautiful occasion. It was such a joy to share in the day with you – wishing you all the best!

During the dinner we snuck out for just a couple of shots!

Can’t forget to include a few images of the cuties – look at how happy the little one is with the bouquet!

I’m sitting here working on pictures from last night’s wedding, sipping green tea and munching on a slice of pound cake, thinking really, life doesn’t get much better than this, when I come across the email Mary sent me earlier this week. I just wanted to post this because it honestly is such a meaningful reminder of why I am SO blessed to do what I do:

I finished viewing all the photos …. and I have to say WOW!!! I have never liked so many shots that I have taken! If Larry likes these shots as much as I do, we will be ordering a LOT of these shots. They are WONDERFUL!!! Before I get too carried away, complimenting your work, please thank your boyfriend as well. THANK YOU, THANK YOU,THANK YOU! I’ve never been happier with pictures that I have taken.

A bit of a backstory: when I first met with Mary, she explained how she was often self-conscious in photos and wasn’t always happy with the way they turned out (which is so hard to believe because she’s GORGEOUS!) so to hear that she liked the photos really meant so much to me. Why are my clients so awesome??

And just for good measure, here’s a semi-terrifying shot of Scott from last night’s wedding, when we were testing out our flashes:
