The ceremony was beautifully touching. The bride and groom were wed by a close friend which really made the ceremony personal and sweet.

Here are a few shots of the bride and groom and their families.

Many photographers like to shoot a photo of the bride and groom under the veil. I usually skip overly posed shots, but the wind had something else in mind whipping Felice’s veil around – and over – the groom’s head.

We wanted to get all of the outside photos done as early as possible so if any guests arrived early (which they did) they would not spot the bride. We were already running a bit behind, so Mingwei took the boys down to one of the ponds for a photo shoot while I worked with the girls and moms. The groom was fishing in the pond for the sake of the photos and ended up catching two fish! The wind blew Felice’s veil all of the place, it probably drove her nuts, but it made for some great shots.

This gave us the opportunity to take all of the bridal party portraits before the wedding and saved us time after the ceremony to just take photos of the bride and groom. It also gave them a few moments just be together, just the two of them. To set up the first glance, Pete waited for Felice who walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder:

Talk about convenience! While I was hanging out with the ladies, Mingwei Tay – a fellow photographer – was photographing the groom and his friends on a golf outing. Felice’s friends were in full force helping her to get ready. Hair, make-up, even the DJ were all friends of Felice and Pete. Her dress was stunning. A Nicole Miller in taupe with a wonderfully crinkley texture. She looked amazing!

Our landlords, who live in the converted barn next to our house, hosted the wedding of their daughter, Felice, to Pete St. John. It was an absolutely beautiful wedding that I had the pleasure of photographing. I will give a run down in the coming days, but until then here is a slideshow:

I combined the bold colors with a sweet and modern hummingbird design. The invitation has a tiny bird flying at the top and the other pieces in the suite feature floral elements. What a fun and festive wedding this would be!

I used the fairly popular theme on this wedding invitation set. This version shows the two bird silhouettes exchanging rings. The great thing about this design is that the colors can be absolutely anything. I had fun with this sample choosing almost sherbet -like colors. I have also adapted this design a couple times for save the dates and wedding announcements.

Especially since I don’t take my camera everywhere, so the really important little moments I was hoping to capture are missed. Oh well, it is still a fun project! This week was the week of the cat – Harrison. He has a love for sitting in the window and eating bread. He tore open a back of hot dogs buns and made good progress eating them.

Our landlords, who live in the barn on the farm where we rent, are getting ready for their daughter’s wedding in April. The wedding will be here on the farm so folks have been busy planting, building stone walls and cleaning up debris from this winter’s ice storms.

We also recently discovered a new perk to living in a rural part of the country: you don’t need to write our address to mail us something! Now, others who live in the country may not think much of this, but I was very excited. It is like being the queen!

This set is bold, sassy, chic with just the right touch of formality. The little fall icons emulate the season without being too over the top. They would be perfect for a fall afternoon, whether you are going with a theme or not. I have to say, I am loving the rounded corners too.

I wanted to make this iconic wedding gift into a fun and slightly retro custom bridal shower invitation. I made them below in a four different colors, but absolutely any option is possible. I have used the same pattern you may have seen in some of my other work, but these could also be done in polka dots or even the couple’s monogram.

I have just been trimming his eyebrows here and there, but keeping everything else long because it has been so cold. He is a schnauzer/poodle/yorkie mix so I am not even sure how he is supposed to look. The hair on his head is different from the hair on his back which is different from the hair on his legs. He even has patches of head hair amongst his back hair. He is a mutt indeed.

Today it was 70 and sunny. With just two days of winter left, I decided to give Rooney a haircut. I am not very good. He is terrified of the electric clippers and is extremely jumpy. So, I end up hacking away at him with a combination of the clippers and scissors. I am hoping pratice makes perfect, this is attempt five or so (he is 11 months old).

Do you have any hair cutting advice for my dog and me?

His loves the web comic, Penny Arcade. So, I took one of his favorite strips from the comic and made a triptic. The wording was definitely a huge challenge. The sun also came out last week and I hope for good! This winter was rough out here in the woods, so the warmth is welcomed with open arms.
