Anna Joy | Portraits

I seriously know the most gorgeous people. Anna Joy has been on the blog before, when I shot recital poster images for her and Emily several years ago. She's now finishing up school and has her senior voice recital this fall (the girl has the voice of an angel), so more posters were needed! I met her downtown early in the morning, and after this it is official: early city mornings are just my favorite, ever. The day was lovely, the light was beautiful, and Anna Joy was stunning, which made for some of my favorite pictures I have ever taken. See what I mean?

I think it was at this point that I said she needs to make a CD so she can use this as the album cover.

Levi & Emily | Wedding

Ohhhh, this wedding! It makes my heart skip a beat just thinking about it. If you've been around my blog for a while you'll recognize the groom; I have shot his family's photos for several years. They always knock it out of the park for the family shoot, so when Levi asked me to shoot his wedding, ecstatic would be a good word for how I was feeling. :-)

They recently moved and the wedding was held outside at their beautiful property. This day was absolutely gorgeous in every way, from start to finish! I'm so excited to share it with you today. Levi & Emily, thank you so much for the privilege of documenting your wedding... it's a favorite. I hope you're up for lots of scrolling - photo overload ahead!

Special thanks to Wendy and John-Luke for shooting this wedding with me!

Such a stunning antique ring!

I just really like it when there are antique silver trays laying around.

So, Levi had this mustache... and he decided he wanted some pictures with it, and some without.

We made the most of it.

The verdict... ;-)

First look with dad!

Such a beautiful bride!!

Can we talk about this arch for a minute?!

This is how it's done, people.

This was one crazy set of groomsmen. :-)

That shot on the left was the first thing I snapped when we started these portraits.

The moment when they were saying, "We don't know what we're doing."

Lies.

See what I mean? Models.

Ohhh, this light!!! Swoon-worthy.

It's always my favorite when Grandma gets on the dancefloor.

The traditional Powers Threesome wedding picture. :-)

Out for a few more portraits at sunset...
