When I photographed Nicole and Derek for their engagement session, there was no doubt we were going to get fantastic images from their wedding. They were so in love; capturing moments of intimacy between them was cake! I love photographing couples that are so into each other that they don’t notice the world around them ( except maybe that Charger going down the street, hey Derek?)
Annabella at Cedar Glenn offers some great areas for photographs. I prefer those special places that require some skill in being able to “see the light” in order to be utilized, they produce some awesome light for portraits or landscapes that are unique.
We started off with Nicole and her girls getting ready in the spacious bride’s room, and then out on the shaded back porch for some quick photos before everyone melted in the Summer heat. We took the guys out front for pics. Derek had the BEST groomsmen! They kept him loose and fun while hamming up some fun shots for Missy and I. Their ceremony was amazing; the afternoon light was streaming through the trees creating a fairytale aura. ( allowing me to capture one of my favorite images from all year!) Overall, I’d say it was a great success! Congrats to Nicole and Derek!





Then we moved on to Joseph and the guys for some photos out on the green. The thing that struck me right away about Joe was his casual nature, and how that came across in the photos. Despite the building heat, this was one cool groom.
