Dottie

So I love love love love love love this bridal session and I am not tooting my own horn over here. It just all worked… Dottie and I had a fabulous time. Dottie is beautiful and her dress perfection. The location was gorgeous. The light cooperated with me. The weather held. The gods aligned, etc. etc.  I have been dying to post them. Since Dottie and Barry’s fabulous wedding was yesterday, I am posting them as soon as I can! I can not come up with enough synonyms for the words “fabulous” to describe how much fun Dottie and Barry have been to work with! Congrats you all! I will have the wedding sneak peek up soon!

I hope that you all enjoy!

P.S. Please excuse  my gratuitous use of exclamation points. I simply can’t help myself!!!

Tina!

A bridal! Whoot! I never post these because of everyone wanting the big reveal but have decided to start.The reason being, I love bridal portraits! Obviously, we are post Tina and Damon’s wedding and I am sure that they are waiting with bated breath for their wedding images. Hopefully, these will tide you all over for a bit!

I hope that you all enjoy!

Kayleigh and Brian

A couple of months ago, I had the privilege of shooting Kayleigh and Brian’s beautiful wedding. It was an incredibly touching day which really showcased the couple’s love of one another and their family. What makes this story even more incredible is that the wedding was planned in one month’s time and absolutely all of the services and products were donated by the vendors! More of this story can be seen here: http://ofdconsulting.blogspot.com/2010/02/coming-together-for-good-cause.html

Sarah and Chris: An Engagement Session

I was excited to go to Sarah and Chris’s Engagement shoot as we planned on starting at their brand new house and then move over to the Poe Museum. We lucked out with a gorgeous spring day that wasn’t too hot or cold. I got even more excited when I got to the house and there was still a few piles of boxes by the front door and paint on the stairs. Sarah immediately told me how she thought it would be fun if we could incorporate some of the boxes into the shoot as well as a bit of the chaos (obviously there are no children living in that house because her chaos was mild in comparison to a house filled with two toddlers!). We got the paint swatches in there and Bacon (their lovely pupsters has already been featured once on the blog).  Sarah and Chris helped to make this shoot a piece of cake for me by giving me a ton of information in my questionnaire and then even thinking up fun ideas themselves! I am so excited to shoot their wedding in September.  Enjoy!

I think I love you….

Jayci and Aaron because every single picture that we took of you last weekend was beautiful. Thanks for making it easy!! I can’t wait to post the entire wedding with details and all (The wedding planner was Colleen Cook of CCS Events. The gorgeous flowers were by Jerry from GML designs. The reception venue was Main St Station… definitely a winning combo!)  I will be posting more in a few days but in the meantime here are a few of the lovely couple.

I hope that you all like them!!

All the best,

Meghan

Go Rams!

Pauline in Paris

Last weekend, I did a fun photo shoot for Etsy seller Pauline in Paris (http://www.etsy.com/shop/PaulineInParis). Pauline makes gorgeous vintage jewelry and also some vintage bouquets. The main part of the shoot was much more intricate than this one and I will post that in a few days. For that shoot, I had Lindsay Averette from LK Events and Designs pop over to style it and she was kind enough to help with make-up as well! We, also, borrowed a vintage gown from Charla at Pleiades Vintage Bridal. My sister modeled for us and  looked gorgeous. As soon as I am done working on those images, I will post them. In the meantime, here are a few fun ones that we did with my little girl. Emerson was great at cooperating and loved pretending like she was a bride! It was too funny. My girl can channel some serious attitude when she needs too. The hands on the hip one was while she was looking at her brother. Siblings!

Also, here is a little sneak peek into the other shoot! More will be up later this week!

An engagement session at the VMFA

Dottie, Barry and I headed over to the VMFA last Sunday to shoot their engagement session. They are getting married there shortly after the museum reopens. So they thought it would be fun to incorporate the construction into their shoot!  I am taking no credit for the fun direction of this shoot and will hand that over to Barry, my new art director! We had a blast and I always love being able to incorporate a story into my portraits. I have to extend a HUGE thanks to Beth Ritch at the VMFA for escorting us throughout the museum and the grounds. I am so excited for the museum to reopen in it’s entirety. Aside from the fact that I am ecstatic to get to shoot in the new wing with it’s glorious natural light, I am incredibly excited that there is going to be ART again at our Museum. Whoo hoo! I hope that you enjoy your sneak peek (and my horrible run-on sentences), Dottie and Barry! I can’t wait for the wedding!

All the best,

Meghan

Yummy Shoes

So I am in the midst of working through a wedding from a few weeks back and just thought that these shoes were fun and wanted to share… gotta love the Manolo’s:)m_p_0235

Katie and Andy: A Sneak Peek

So last weekend, we shot a wedding in Virginia Beach. It was supposed to be on the beach and as we were driving down there it started pouring. Ryan and I chatted as we got there about how it couldn’t possibly be on the beach still and I assumed that we would be at the Museum. Well, needless to say if you check out these pictures, our assumptions was wrong and thank goodness for it. The light came out right at the end of the ceremony with the dramatic gray (grey.. never know the proper spelling of that one:) skies in the background, the waves crashing and then wind blowing up a storm. It really was dramatic and stunning. Here are a few glimpses into the day. I will definitely post a longer blog about it later but until then here you go, Katie and Andy! I hope that you all enjoy!

All the best,

Meghan

P.S. As you all can tell, these images are sized differently than before… I am just playing around with my image dimensions and speed to see how quickly things will load for me etc. Please bear with me as I figure out what I like the best(… feel free to let me know your thoughts as well!)

Audra and Daniel

We had a beautiful day for Audra and Daniel’s wedding…..granted it was raining but sometimes you just have to roll with it and this couple did! The wedding ended up being a completely delightful and relaxed affair.
