CJ & Chelsea: The Real Engagement Post

You might recall my teaser post a while back, featuring CJ & Chelsea, who are pretty much supermodels... and a really sweet and genuine couple! They were awesome with trying out different locations and outfit changes to get more variety out of the shoot, and I just had an awesome time hanging out with them for the evening and getting to know them better! I'm just sad that I still have to wait until JUNE next year for their wedding! I know it'll come fast though, so I can be patient. ;)

We started the shoot on Erie St. in Windsor, in front of Mezzo, where their first apartment was. (Above Mezzo––not in it. For the record. :P) Then we made a quick stop at one of their friends' houses to check out his AWESOME car in his AWESOME garage before heading out to the county and finishing up the shoot at Lakeside Park in Kingsville. They did all the driving and even treated me to Tim's on the way home––you guys are the best!! (For future reference, you can pretty much win me over any time with Starbucks or Tim's. ;)

After scouring through all of the TONS of amazing shots we got, I've managed to narrow it down, and here they are! Enjoy!!

One of Chelsea's bridesmaids contacted me shortly after their session and requested a large print of this in black & white to be matted and framed as a surprise gift from the wedding party. They had it on display for them at a wedding shower and had all of the guests sign it––how great of an idea is that!! It was so cool seeing this printed and framed!

A HUGE thank you again to Chelsea and CJ, and can I just say again how EXCITED I AM FOR YOUR WEDDING???!? AGHH!!!!! :D

Jeff & Lisa: Wedding Teasers!

Last weekend, I had the incredible privilege of being present at one of the ritziest weddings so far this year––no pressure, all you remaining '09 couples! ;) Everything from Lisa's veil and feather hairpiece to the guys' ties to the amazing reception decor was something to remember!! And top it all off, they're pretty much some of the coolest, funnest, most down-to-earth people I know. Can't beat that. 8-)

So without further ado, here are a few preview shots before the BIG post:

Tony & LeeAnne: The Official Wedding Post

Remember the sneak peek from way back when? (And if you missed it before, I posted their engagement pictures way-back-whener!) Well I've finally got the rest of the post ready to go! It was tough picking out the best of's because there were SO many, but I've narrowed it down and here they are. :) There are a few more on Facebook too, so be sure to check those out if you get a chance!

This was so cute... the flower girl and ring-bearer were so little that the Best Man and Maid of Honor were going to help bring them down the aisle in a wagon... and the flower girl ended up walking backwards the entire way!

The bride and groom were able to have a seat for parts of the ceremony while the priest was delivering the message, and I just thought LeeAnne's feet were so cute and expressive. I love cute and expressive feet. :D

After the ceremony and family portraits were done, we all piled into the huge limo bus to head out to Harrow for pictures! LeeAnne had seen a small beach area along the lake and it turned out to be a great spot!

Before reaching our beach-side destination, however, the cooler was in need of restocking...

This was probably the most energetic group of people I've worked with yet! Don't let the formal shot fool you––that was hard work. ;)

After the pictures were done, we headed back to the Ciociaro Club in Windsor for the most amazing reception! The food was INCREDIBLE (can you say "many, many courses?"), and the live music was a huge hit––I've rarely seen so many people dance for so long! The lounge area was way cool too... definitely a hot spot for pictures!

As she does at many of the weddings I photograph, my sister and her amazing handiwork made an appearance in front of the head table (check out her website! She IS the best!!):

One of my favorite things at weddings is seeing how creative people get with the "how to make the bride & groom kiss" game... at Tony & LeeAnne's wedding, they had target practice:

WEB-DSC_0990a-collage-border-logo

And your first dance just wouldn't be the same without exploding streamers!

WEB-DSC_0021a-collage-border-logo

And of course, who ISN'T in the partying mood once the floor's covered in colorful streamers...
