    2015 In Review + Some of my favorite moments

    2015 is gone! Time goes by so fast. When you think you have it all figure it out and review all accomplished and what was not at the end of the year, it feels like time was standing still all this time. Then, in a blink of an eye is 2016. As I reviewed my work this year I confess to smile, get teary eyed and laugh out loud some times. I had a great time in 2015 and I am hopeful that 2016 will bring me the same type of amazing fun couples and families. I have chosen to show you my favorites moments of 2015. All in random order, so every…

    My Favorite 2015 Portraits + My so called 2016 Goals

    Did you see my 2015 Best Moments? If not, make sure to check them out HERE. As 2016 comes near I must confess to be slightly afraid. 2015 was really, really good. It feels like a string of good luck that may run out at any time. When I started this journey I wasn’t sure where my goals would be long term. I knew what I wanted to do but not quite how to achieve it. I should confess I still don’t know. In 2015 couples sort of found me. I met the right couples, clicked with them and had a blast at their wedding. Plus I ate a lot of cake and…

    Kim + Murphy: A Cedar Point Country Club Wedding

    2015 Kim & Murphy’s party was full of family, friends, and kids! The kids loved every single moment of it. They danced the night away and enjoyed cake and delicious food. I loved spending time with them and seeing them finally getting the wedding celebration they’ve dreamed of. The storm was right there behind us during the couple’s portraits but we still rocked it! Enjoy some of my favorites of the day.

    Kayla + Julian: A Red Wing Park + Traditions at Honey Bee Golf Club Wedding

    2015 Kayla & Julian are just too perfect for each other, from the way they talk to each other to the way they simply do not. I was very fortunate in meeting their great family and friends. They are a great bunch! With a very touching ceremony at the Red Wing Park, they said their “I do” while having a blast of a party at the beautiful Honey Bee Golf Club. My first time there and it is a great place to have a wedding celebration. With Kayla & Julian I knew I wanted to try something, as they are artistic and super easy going. Check out my last two…

    Christina + Bryan: A Cypress Point Country Club Wedding

    2015 There were some sprinkles of rain, there was a smoke machine while they were having their first dance, there was selfies-galore, but most of all there was love. Christina & Bryan’s wedding at the Cypress Point Club was perfect, surrounded by their family and friends as they celebrated their union. They are fun, they are easy-going and pretty much a great couple to be around. Congratulations Christina & Bryan!

    Kathy + Andrew: An Oceanfront Beach Wedding + Signature at the West Neck

    2015 Kathy & Andrew got married on a beautiful day! The Oceanfront was perfect without too many people and the golden sun. After the ceremony on the beach, Kathy wanted to surprise Andrew, so we walked (yes, we did) towards the closest 7 11 for some Slurpees. Nothing says go wild and have fun like walking oceanfront in yellow heels. She wore them, not me. We then went to the party at one of my favorite venues, The Signature at West Neck. The sun & day could have not been more perfect. Ceremony: Beach Front of Sheraton Venue: The Signature at West Neck Dress: Allure bridal by Global Bridal Gallery …
