Kaylynn and Bill: Featured on Wedding Podcast Network
My clients and friends from a September 07 wedding at the Wynn were recently featured on The Wedding Podcast Network, a really cool site offering many different podcasts on various wedding related topics. Kaylynn and Bill are featured on the newlywedcast, a popular section featuring recently married couples talking about their wedding planning process and wedding.
Among the other topics Kaylynn and Bill discuss, they say some very nice things about me (thanks!). Specifically, Kaylnn addressed the importance of the relationship between photographer and client. I’ve highlighted some of what Kaylynn had to say below, but to check out the full podcast go here.
Ashley Bartoletti was our photographer and she’s phenomenal, and we actually… Tracey helped me find her and we met at a hotel. It’s funny, when I came down to meet Tracey for the very first time, I met with a couple of different vendors. I met with a make up artist and I met with Ashley who’s the photographer… and it kind of just happened that we were all running just a little bit late. So it happened that the makeup artist was there at the same time that Ashley was there. so it was kind of this really fun meeting where we had sort of a girl party where we were talking about photography with Ashley and talking about makeup with the makeup artist and Tracey was there, and it just kind of felt perfect. Her photography style is very life-style oriented I did like some of the traditional wedding poses and things you know that you traditionally do, but I really wanted to capture the wedding and the life of the wedding so I really wanted her to spend most of her time taking pictures of people having fun and not really posed pictures, and she just loved that idea. It was more editorial than it was posed photos. We just really, really clicked. She was so accommodating and really got what we wanted. She really just understood our style. The night before the wedding I think it was we had our pre-photoshoot so we walked around the Wynn with her and it was fun. She’s just a really fun person to be around. She doesn’t make you feel awkward and she gave us some really good pointers and just beautiful photography. Really, really beautiful. She just kind of knows… she just kind of I think intuitively got our personality and was really able to capture that on film.
Tracey Kumar-Moore was the awesome wedding coordinator behind this wedding. Some of these images have been blogged already, but here are some of my favorite details from the wedding.
Here’s Tracey with Kaylynn and Bill
Marilee & Luke: Engagement
On Sunday I headed into Philadelphia to shoot a really fun engagement session with Marilee and Luke at The Water Works. It was a super cool location with awesome architecture, but unfortunately a lot of it was under construction and we didn’t have access to much of it. We still had a great time, though!
I was playing with a desaturated/vintage look in this shot, what do you all think?
Anytime they were looking at each other they had the biggest smiles on their faces. It was pretty adorable, and makes my job easy. 
We took some time to dance a little bit in the plaza…
Sunset kiss… it was pretty hazy so we didn’t get a lot of that warm delicious sunlight, but I’ve got to have my signature silhouette shot 
Kristy & Mike: Wedding
This past weekend I shot a wonderful wedding at The Mercer Museum in Doylestown, PA. Now you know why I’ve been behind in my blogging, I’ve been shooting in Vegas, Arizona, California and now Pennsylvania in just a couple weeks!
I grew up in PA, and coming back after 7 years of living on the other side of the country is refreshing. I love the colonial architecture, and the beautiful greenery and golden fields. I’m going to try to take a day while I’m back here to photograph some of the beauty and share it with you all
Anyway, back to the wedding:
I loved this corset detail on the back of her dress
The threads of her dress had hints of gold and pink, it was so beautiful!
Loving the big blue sky, nice green grass, and beautiful architecture!
I love how happy they both look during their first dance, the sang to each other the whole time. How sweet is that? 
This is the view of the tent their reception was held in outside of the museum at dusk, beautiful sky!
Jocelyn & Marc: Engagement
Two weekends ago I flew to San Diego to shoot a beachy engagement session, and I was so excited to have the change of scenery. Jocelyn and Marc will be having a fabulous wedding at the Bellagio in Las Vegas later this year.
We did our shoot on two different locations on Coronado Island. We began on the north side of the island for some fabulous skyline views.
Nice view, eh? 
You know I love her gorgeous Christian Louboutin shoes. Can’t wait to see what she wears for the wedding!! 
Our second location was on the beach by the gorgeous Hotel del Coronado, shown in the background here
I was particularly excited to shoot an engagement session on the beach at sunset (we don’t have beaches in Vegas!!), but my sunset was obstructed by a stray cloud! It was still pretty beautiful though 
Kathryn & Tim: Wedding
Two weekends ago I flew to Phoenix to shoot the awesome wedding of Tim and Kathryn. They were two of the nicest people I have ever worked with, and pretty easy on the eyes too I shot for 11 hours for this wedding so there were tons of awesome pictures to choose from!
Here are my faves:
This is a tiara from her bachlorette party, too cute to pass up a photo op 
I love this shot of her dress on her mom’s bed, with all her children’s artwork above it. How sweet is that!
Lots of beautiful details on her dress, veil, and shoes…
Smiling for photos for her family
Just before the ceremony, gorgeous!
Unfortunately I wasn’t allowed to leave the back of the church during the ceremony, but I still love the expression on Tim’s face during their vows I got with my 70-200mm zoom lens
Married
Very happy couple sharing their first dance
Tim is a Marine who is leaving for his second tour in Iraq next month, lets all pray for a safe journey for him and his fellow Marines.
Rain & Hongbo
I shot this lovely engagement session at the gorgeous Loews Lake Las Vegas, the same location that the wedding will be held later this year. After rescheduling once due to rain, we lucked out and got a beautiful day complete with a lovely sunset, with beautiful, warm light.
Angela & Ray: Wedding
Finally trying to catch up on my blogging now that I am settled in Pennsylvania. This is the first of three weddings, three engagement sessions, and more…
I shot Angela and Ray’s wedding at the Flamingo Las Vegas on June 6th. After a beautiful and intimate morning ceremony, we spent several hours shooting portraits on the strip at the Flamingo, Luxor, Paris and of course the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. Enjoy!

Isn’t he so beautiful?
