...Keeping up with Mary Jane...

2008 is going to be the ride of my life! I have so many incredible weddings lined up for 2008, I have baby shoots galore, I'm in training for my first triathlon, and best of all, I'm a bride to be! With this new blog, I'll be kicking off a new platform to document (for me) and share (with you) all the trials and triumphs, all the dreams and successes, and all the photography of this monumental year.

I promise to be more consistent in my postings and I'm so excited that all my readers can now leave comments (easily) and hope they do so often. Yes, I am excited about 2008, when I hit the finish line, and when I say I do, I hope I have a ton of new friends cheering me on, and a ton of new friends that I can cheer on with their endeavors. Now, let's do this!

Also, for an easy way to receive automatic updates from the blog please subscribe to the RSS feed located at the bottom of the blog.

Submitting some of my weddings to magazines!

 ...MARCY .&. ERIK... 
thu. august 14, 2008 (main)

O.K., we're back to our regularly scheduled program.  

Yes, that's right folks, the honeymoon doesn't come until February.  But, it seems kind of nice this way because we were SOOO exhausted after the wedding.  It was nice to just be home and breathe and just be together - "lalala...just the two of us, we can make it if we try, lalalal"..o.k, I'll stop singing.  Anyway, we love home.  And we have a new bird that keeps us constantly giggling and entertained - and we're big Olympic freaks - so we've been tied to the tube at night.  GO USA!

I shot Marcy and Erik's wedding on August 2nd - yes 6 days before I walked down the aisle and said - I DO!  Marcy and Erik thought I was crazy - but I assured them that everything would be fine.  O.K., so their blog post is a little delayed - but they are galavanting around Greece right now, so I don't feel too bad.  :)  

Marcy and Erik got married on a gorgeous, private Solvang ranch.  It had the most incredible view of the valley and was surrounded by horses and vast open fields.  It was so charming and the most wonderful place to celebrate and be merry (and married)!  Marcy and Erik are two very special people.  I am so grateful these two kindred spirits found each other because their union inspires and uplifts everyone around them!  It's true - I saw it with my own eyes and camera.

Marcy's smile lights up Erik's face like nothing else I have ever seen.  They are a match made in heaven.  Mark and I loved getting to know them while we shared in their most intimate, amazing day.  Erik was generous enough to give us a few triathlon tips - and I'm hoping they come in very handy - although, I think the first one was to train A LOT...and that one hasn't been happening lately.  Ahhhhhh!!!!!

They had a wonderful team of professionals which assured that the event was absolutely beautiful and flowed effortlessly.  The wonderful Rani Hoover coordinated the event, Renae with Renae's Bouquet provided the amazing flowers and decor, and Music by Bonnie supplied the dancing fuel and entertainment!  Thank you to everyone!  Your extraordinary work made my job so much easier.

I love this moment, as Marcy and Erik see everyone for the first time and begin their walk down the aisle together.

 

 

 

 

I love the Jewish tradition of putting the bride and groom up on chairs - but I think Marcy was just a little scared.  

 

 

Just a fun candid during the reception and I love that light!!!!

 

We got to sneak away from the reception to play with the horses and the incredible Solvang sunset!  Mark snagged the next little gem - I love it!!!!

 ...JANEY STRONG... 
sun. august 10, 2008 (the big day)

I'm married now!  I hope you can forgive my little hiatus from blog posting.  It was the most amazingly wonderful and incredible week.  It went by so fast - but we have tons of photos to remember it all by.  I feel so blessed to have my best friend by my side forever, a loving & supportive family and just the best friends any girl could ever ask for.  I am filled up full.  I can't think of anything else I need - well, o.k., lets be real - I need some sleep and we need to get back into our training for our triathalon in 2 weeks!!!  AHHHHH.  

Here are a few photos from Gary's infrared camera.

Stay tuned for lots more photos AND I've got some fun stories too.  Loves to you all!

 ...EMILY & NICK... 
mon. july 28, 2008 (weddings)

The wedding this past Saturday was a festive, colorful, "CHAPEL HILL" adventure.  Emily and Nick are both graduates of UNC - and decided to show the love for their alma mater by creatively and beautifully weaving the familiar "blue & white" throughout their wedding.  All of the personal touches made this wedding so unique and wonderful.  All of the tables were named after places, streets and restaurants at Chapel Hill.  They had a sushi bar, an ice luge and an ice cream bar.  This wedding was so much FUN!

Emily and Nick are just wonderfully laid back, just plain fun people.  They love to laugh and are just completely head-over-heels in love.  When I saw Emily's dress and veil hanging in the window at the Four Seasons - I knew I had walked into a photographers paradise.  Her veil was so beautiful (and not to mention long) and I had never seen one quite like it.

It was a very joyous occassion that I will not soon forget.  :)  Thank you Emily and Nick for being such wonderful clients and friends!

Shoes - Stuart Weitzman

Make-up - Shannon Jordan with Flirt
