Natasha & Brett's "Love Story"

Throughout the business year of a portrait/wedding studio you run into customers who simply standout from the ordinary. These are the clients who come to you because they have seen and appreciate your work and know that they want the best that you can offer them. The joy about working with this type client is that they not only let you do your job unhindered, but they encourage you to express your creativity in any fashion that you see fit.

I can honestly tell you that out of the many clients that I've photographed, Natasha Robinson is in the top five. She absolutely stole my heart and loyalty to create awesome portraits for her over the months leading up to her wedding day. I've never met a woman who is so full of confidence and self-awareness as Natasha, yet she has an aura of kindness that supersedes any label you could put on the term "elegant woman".

Quite often when I was photographing Brett and Natasha during their engagement session below, I reminded them what a beautifully balanced couple they were. In many of today's couples you just don't see the type of unselfish relationship that they have with each other. I wished that every engaged couple could spend some time talking to Brett and Natasha about what makes their relationship so unique. Keep an eye out for all of the postings on this couple because I don't want you to miss a true "Love Story".

Enjoy!

I don't give nicknames to my clients,
but Natasha's would be "Smooth".

If Natasha doesn't win you over with pleasantness,

she will surely do it with laughter and fun.

Angelique [Quick Session]

Angelique and I were trying to find an art show that was downtown, but had difficulty locating it. In our search we came across several rustic walls and doors that made great backgrounds, so I had her to pop in these spots for a quick portrait or two. We came up with some great, fun shots that tempered the fact that we never did locate the art show. So...we created our own art!

Lisa & Norman's Wedding

Several months ago in a previous posting I introduced Althea and Norman to you by way of their "Love Story" images. Now, it's time to show you the final chapter in our work with them. Their wedding day portraits.

I'll have to confess that the following images were not created by me because upon returning from Florida after covering another wedding, I became gravely ill for two weeks (I think it was a BAD case of food poisoning) and could not make the trip. Lisa had the unfortunate pleasure of being the first bride's in 25 years of being a photographer whose wedding I missed due to illness.

Thanks, Lisa, for letting us being your photographer.

Enjoy!
