Erica & Trey - Hudson Garden's Wedding

Erica and I were close friends all through elementary school ... I remember constantly having sleep overs with her, spying on her brothers (yes, we were Harriet the Spy fans), and doing everything together.  Because of this I was so honored when she asked me to photograph her wedding.  This wedding was so much fun to photograph because not only did it bring back so many good memories, but I was able to catch up with many old friends that I have not seen in years!  Erica is now a flight attendant who travels the world and lives in Virginia where she met her husband.  I did not get to meet Trey until the wedding day, but as soon as I did, it was clear that they were perfect for each other.  They decided to do a first look (which always makes me cry) and the pure laughter, tears, and joy made it so clear that they belong together.  Erica and Trey got married at Hudson Garden's surrounded by friends and family, and they sure did throw quite the celebration!  Didn't Erica make a stunning bride?  Erica and Trey, I wish you nothing but the best.  Congratulations and thank you so much for letting Brandon and me be apart of your special day!

The Duran Family

Last weekend I was blessed to meet and photograph the wonderful Duran family.  I have to give out a big kudos to this family for not rescheduling their shoot due to two unfortunate circumstances.... The first being that Cecilia (the oldest of the two sisters) broke her arm a week before our photo session, and two, it was 25 degrees outside with snow on the ground the day of our shoot.  Fortunately, Cecilia was able to cover up her cast pretty well, and Adrian (the Dad) has an incredible office in downtown Littleton with really cool brick walls so we were able to take some indoor pictures instead of having to stand out in the freezing cold for an hour.  We did, however, venture over to the Littleton Historical Museum to take a few outdoor pictures, and I was amazed and impressed that not one of the members in this family complained about the cold, especially since they didn't even put their jackets on.  I, on the other hand, was all bundled up in my North Face fleece and giant scarf).  Only when Reese (the youngest of the sisters) tripped and fell did we have a few tears shed, but she cheered right up with the promise of a cup of hot chocolate if only she smiled for a few more pictures.  This shoot turned out much better than I could have ever imagined, and all the credit deserves to go to the Duran family!  Thank you Mandy, Adrian, Cecilia, Reese and we can't forget Otis, the adorable model-savvy pup!

Martha's 90th Birthday Party

Last Saturday I was privileged to get to photograph a dear friend of mines Grandma's 90th Birthday party.  The party was at Littleton United Methodist Church, where Martha has attended for the past 70 years.  Can you imagine going to the same church for 70 years?!  It was so much fun getting to see Martha celebrate this very special day with all her friends and family, and I was blessed to get to capture it.
