So, I think I’ve gone over my to-do list the third time now, haha! Our little peanut is supposed to come by the end of the week, and we are soooooo ready! :o) I wish I could count down the days until I finally get to hold our baby in my arms, but then it doesn’t want to tell me when the big day will be here, haha … so mama is waiiting and waiiiiting :o)

My email auto responder is already turned on, and I’m sorry in advance for any delayed emails from my end …. I’m probably cleaning the house and doing laundry …. haha.

I’ll keep you guys posted about our new arrival, and I’m sure there will be an overload of newborn photos once it makes it big entrance ;o)

Until then …. I hope everybody is doing well :o)

I somehow have a feeling I should start this blog post with “Once upon a time ….” :o) What a fun, fun wedding!!!

Melissa contacted me only a few months ago and asked if I’d consider shooting a wedding in NH, and I have to be honest, …. one usually has to convince me to do a November wedding – you just can’t ever predict the weather and I love taking the posed photos outside. BUT I met Melissa & Mat at their friends wedding that I shot last year, and dear I say …. they are BOTH 2 of the nicest couples I’ve ever met … so … how could one EVER resist + who would ever say no to a backdrop like Mount Washington??? – Right.

Well, I am pretty sure it’s safe to say that EVERYBODY had a blast that weekend, what a goooorgeous day they had! Thank you both SO much for having us photograph your very special day – Darcy and I had an absolute blast and I LOVED seeing all the bridesmaids again – how fun!! And thanks also for being up for taking photos outside … in the cold …. and the super bright sunlight (eeek) … we all know how freezing it was that day, haha! :o) You guys are an awesome couple – I’d make the trip any day to have you in front of my lens again!

I hope you guys had a woooooonderful time on St. John (boy did I envy you!!!!) and I hope you enjoy the little sneak peek before you get to see the rest of the photos hopefully later tonight :o)

Melissa & Mat held their ceremony at the St. Rose of Lima, Littleton, NH and had their reception at the gorgeous Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, NH.

Aren’t those flowers absolutely stunning??? I’ve never seen roses like those!

Meet Melissa, the pretty bride:

Love this photo:

Ahh, so pretty!

And doesn’t she just have a beautiful smile? … whole room lights up!

gotta love the Mount Washington Resort and it’s beautiful interior!!

Soooo pretty, right??!!!

And a few Darcy took while she was hanging out with the guys :o)

Meet the handsome groom, Mat:

Love this moment :o)

Loooook at that place!!! What a dream!

Best bridal party!!!

Eeeeeek, sorry for posing you in that bright, bright sunlight, but I had to take advantage of that pretty view! :o) You guys rock!

Told ya!!!! BEST bridal party!! :o)

AND one of the sweetest couple! I’m one lucky photographer! :o)

My favorite of the day! WHAT A PLACE!

I could take photos of you guys every day! SUCH a happy couple!

One from Darcy, LOVE the light!

And two more from Darcy:

Can you believe that place???? We came just in time! PERFECT light – even if it was a *bit* chilly by that time :o))

A few detail / interior shots :o)

And a photo of sweet Jen & Dennis who got married last year :o) Hi guys! :o)

Alright, I’ll confess, I didn’t know which ones to post, so here are a few from their first dance. SO pretty!

Smiles, smiles, smiles!

Way to make even the famous table shot fun! :o))

Party photos!!! And boy did they have a party! Put 200 fuuun people, an awesome band and a really cool DJ in a big room and see what happens! Good times!

And uhm yes …. they had fireworks at their wedding! Way to finish a fun wedding season (for me). Seriously …. who’s gonna top that? THANK YOU GUYS! Wow, wow, wow!

A very special THANK YOU to my second photographer and dear friend: Darcy Babers

• We returned to one of my favorite local haunts, Molly Stark Park, for this engagement session.

• We have been really extraordinarily lucky with weather this fall here in Ohio. When Amanda scheduled her session for the first week of November a month or so out, I was so worried that it was going to be a messy day or even worse, freezing. However we all lucked out as it was a beautiful GORGEOUS day!

• This session was FULL of laughs. Seriously. We couldn’t stop. They are ridiculously fun to work with and just hilarious.

• I climbed a tree for some pictures. Yep. I CLIMBED A TREE! Not even a small tree but a decent sized one. I would say I was about 10 feet off the ground. I was inspired by a picture I saw on Pinterest (are you on there, follow me if you are!) and decided to go for it and that they were a couple that would be game for something a bit outside of the box. I’m happy with the results!

This is where I climbed the tree. In retrospect, I shoulda took a different lens up with me.

My oh my! I know I don’t get to share photos taken in Colorado often enough, so I think this one is a little treatie for all of us :o) I had the HUGE pleasure to photograph 2 super sweet sisters not too long ago. I don’t get to work with kids that age very often and boy would I know for sure that they’re all as easy to photograph, would I not shoot anything but that age :o)) Thank you for being soooo sweet AND patient that day (you guys would NEVER guess how windy it was! OH MY!)

Meet Emma (11) and her sister Abby (10):

• Thank goodness we had preplanned an indoor location for the day we did their engagement shoot was nothing short of yucky weather. Grey skies (which seem to be the going rate lately here in Ohio), rain and chilly.

• We did this shoot at The Canton Club which is absolutely one of my favorite venues in the area. SUCH a gorgeous place and really lovely people that run the business. Beyond that the food here is amazing!

• From the moment I saw Vanessa’s stunning Louboutins, I knew we were going to get along!

• Look for these guys to return next June!

They ended up not liking this wine and it’s my husband’s favorite so they gave it to me for him, he was quite excited!
