{Tedda and Jeff} Engaged

Tedda and Jeff are one of those "woah it's a small world" couples to me. A few years back I worked in Human Resources. I knew Tedda's name, because when you work in HR, you know everyone's name. At a bar on Christmas night, I met her and her boyfriend Jeff, while hanging out with my best friend Danielle and her fiance Greg (remember their wedding photos?). As it turned out, Tedda knew my husband through college, one of her parents worked with my husband's father, and Jeff was in my best friend Danielle's upcoming wedding. Is your head spinning yet?

At any rate, a few months back Jeff popped the question to Tedda, and I got an email literally the next day asking if I would be their photographer. I was thrilled, and after spending a few hours with these two in Portland, I'm even more excited for their upcoming wedding in September. They are full of energy and smiles. Tedda's giggle is contagious, and Jeff is awesome at being goofy with her. Here are some of my favorites from our session!

Sometimes the sillyness gets out of hand...these are my favorite times :)

Tedda and Jeff, I absolutely cannot wait for September!! Enjoy!

{Kelsey and Ryan} Married

When I got an email from Kelsey this summer looking for a photographer just four months later, I was excited to be available but also assumed she had just waited awhile to book. What I quickly learned however, was that she and Ryan had just been engaged, and they were planning their wedding in a very, very short time. Standing in the middle of it all on the day though, you'd think they'd had years to plan. Everything about their day at Pineland Farms in New Gloucester was perfect, from the incredible 60 degree weather in November, only 7 days after a freak nor'easter snowstorm, to Kelsey's perfectly fitting dress, to the adorable details, and the chipper guests. This was such a great way to end my 2011 wedding season, and I'm excited to share their day with you.

 Ummm, how beautiful is this pup?! Look at those eyes!

 

 

I love this picture of Kelsey truly being the day's princess!

I love it when the boys try to be all "GQ"

Kelsey and Ryan wanted lots of pictures of the two of them...I was happy to oblige!

The food was amazing! Many thanks to The Black Tie Co. for feeding us all so well!

Check out that sunset! Wowza! It was amazing!

Kelsey and her dad had hands down the best Father/Daughter dance I've ever seen. It started out sweet and traditional...

...and then exploded into a HILARIOUS medley of old dance songs! I'm talking MC Hammer old! I was in tears!

These two were having a ball on the dance floor all night long. I told them I needed to hire them as stand-ins for my weddings..they were awesome!

Kelsey and Ryan, you were the best way for me to wrap up my 2011 wedding season. Thank you so much. Enjoy every second of this amazing marriage!
