In a Thousand Words or Less

This morning I awoke to a fresh blanket of powdery white snow all over. It was the perfect temperature and the first convincing snowfall, so I popped out of bed. (Okay, it was more of a yawn, sigh, grunt and a slide out of bed–but you get the picture.)

I grabbed my camera (with my new 70-200/2.8) and asked Laura to put on a gorgeous white dress from her closet. Needless to say, she looked absolutely stunning. I had to remember to press the shutter. Ha.

I love this one!

She makes me laugh.

:)

Gotta show that ring of!

Jake just stayed out of the snow best that he could.

We also had lunch at the Blue Lion Coffee House in Pierceton. Great, warm little place. I highly recommend it if you are ever in the area. We couldn’t leave without taking just a couple of photos.

Pretty legit Cafe Melange (Americano)

Before I put the images from this weekend’s gorgeous fall wedding up, I’m going to show some of the different styles I’ve been trying to work with to have a different approach to the images. I’m really enjoying some of the emotive qualities of color-shifted photos and I’m working very hard to get a more vintage black-and-white feel. So far, I’m enjoying the results.

Less talk, more show, Jer!

I really really like the way the flowers fit the season as well as the whole feel of the wedding. Quite classy, but still tons of fun!

The groomsmen were a hoot. Who doesn’t want to be a ninja?

For some reason, photographers really like it when the couple looks detached. C’est la vie.

(The image above was actually taken by the lovely Laura McNulty who was kind enough to assist me. Great shot, huh?)

(I’m not usually a fan of the lens-blur look, but something about Megan and her father dancing merited it. Such a perfect and beautiful moment.)

More later? Sounds great!

ADDITION! MORE IMAGES!
