frazier & wing II

I recently had the pleasure of shooting another round of beautiful creations from frazier & wing. Heather has been quite the busy bee, making fun and festive new garlands, branch pieces and mobiles. More photos can be found here and here.

annie + russ: hitched!

I am so happy to have met this ingenious pair, and even more thrilled that I had the opportunity to photograph their wedding day. These lovebirds may look slightly familiar from this recent post of their engagement shoot. Their nuptials were incredibly unique, and the day was full of laughter, happy tears, dancing, gratitude, hope, joy, song and celebratory magic!
Annie is a very talented photographer, and consequently, is surrounded by a community of friends who are also inspiring photographers. I can't even count how many cameras were at this event, but it was amazing and I was honored to be one of the many! Here is just a mere selection of my photographs from the day - a tiny piece of the puzzle created by the web of photographers both attending and documenting the celebration.  My very best wishes of love, adventure, and happiness to this clever couple.

hello december.

Let me get straight to the point: I am in denial of December's rapid arrival. I was surprised by November's beginning, but the appearance of December has shocked me. It always does.
You may remember this lovely lady, Silke, from the hello november post. We decided it would be a good challenge to take on a photo project, greeting the beginning of each month - where we could try out new ideas, push ourselves out of our comfort zones, create and collaborate. We are both inspired by the explosion of creativity from the amazingly talented Kelty of Steep Street, and were even more motivated to pursue this project after viewing her TGIH series, a weekly photo project between her and her sister.  I encourage you to take a look at the beauty and wonder of her work. In the spirit of the season, we decided to spend a bit of our evening amongst twinkling lights and noble firs. It is an absolute joy to work with someone who not only has unbelievable patience and willingness, but a craving for understanding and an enthusiasm for both sides of the lens. Thank you Silke. We are excited about this creative collaboration, and look forward to sharing it with you. Look for more hellos from us.
