Hartsell Wedding

I arrived at Barren Ridge Vineyards a few moments before the bride and groom. And I’m glad I did. Otherwise, I would have missed the arrival of the soon-to-be-wed couple who casually strolled in the back door, wedding dress in hand, wind blown hair and beaming, relaxed contentment settled into their eyes. At first sight of their freshly decorated tables they both became vocally excited and thrilled that it was here. Their wedding day was finally here.  They rushed to different rooms to change and in a few short moments they were embracing and celebrating once again. The wind carried the time away as we wandered around the hills and vines of the vineyards with a Dalmatian in tow. Their family joined and later their friends and before we knew it the sun left the sky and guests enjoyed an epic first dance, a wonderful gourmet meal, smooth wine, toasts, stories, and lots of dancing. Congrats and cheers to you both, Amy and Kelly!bsomeIMG_0830 bsomeIMG_0823 bsomeIMG_0816 bsomeIMG_0808 bsomeIMG_0813 bsomeIMG_0854bsomeIMG_1025bsomeIMG_1030 bsomeIMG_0872bw bsomeIMG_0878bsomeIMG_0888bsomeIMG_0898bsomeIMG_0895bsomeIMG_0906bwbsomeIMG_0905bsomeIMG_0920bsomeIMG_0926bsomeIMG_0935bsomeIMG_0799bsomeIMG_0955bsomeIMG_0957bsomeIMG_0947bsomeIMG_0951bsomeIMG_0949bsomeIMG_0938bsomeIMG_0940bwbsomeIMG_0963bsomeIMG_0971cbsomeIMG_0968bsomeIMG_0978bwbsomeIMG_0986bsomeIMG_0984bwbsomeIMG_0983bwbsomeIMG_0995bsomeIMG_1009bsomeIMG_1016bsomeIMG_1006bsomeIMG_1151bsomeIMG_1156bsomeIMG_1130bsomeIMG_1137bsomeIMG_1062bsomeIMG_1107bsomeIMG_1119bsomeIMG_1125bsomeIMG_1159bsomeIMG_1163bsomeIMG_1145bsomeIMG_1174bsomeIMG_1188bsomeIMG_1194bsomeIMG_1196bsomeIMG_1186bsomeIMG_1201bsomeIMG_1209bsomeIMG_1212bsomeIMG_1236bsomeIMG_1244bsomeIMG_1280bwbsomeIMG_1289bsomeIMG_1302bsomeIMG_1448bsomeIMG_1572bwbsomeIMG_1577bwbsomeIMG_1445bsomeIMG_1584bsomeIMG_1695bsomeIMG_1679bsomeIMG_1713bsomeIMG_1618bsomeIMG_1642bsomeIMG_1675bwbsomeIMG_1745bwbsomeIMG_1580bwCupcakes & Cake: The Cupcake Company | Dress: Kathleen Temple, Tailor | Custom knitted shaw: Knitting Savant |Caterer: TASTE. | Florist: Joy Shank Coakley of The Weekend Florist | Venue: Barren Ridge Vineyards

 

 

Marker Family

Six months ago, Baby Beckett was my first ever newborn model. The time moves quickly and suddenly here it is fall and Beckett is a whopping six months old! I met him and his mommies at the park for an evening shoot. Beckett was all squished up and napping the way babies do when we started so we let the pups do the baby-sitting while I snagged a few shots of Kelsey and Megan. Beckett joined us and his brotherly connection with their pugs is dang adorable. I just can’t get enough of Beckett’s expressions and personality. Look out world. This kid knows what’s up.bsomeIMG_5240bw bsomeIMG_5249 bsomeIMG_5247bsomeIMG_5253 bsomeIMG_5244bwbsomeIMG_5266bsomeIMG_5262 bsomeIMG_5255bsomeIMG_5309 bsomeIMG_5300 bsomeIMG_5283bw bsomeIMG_5285bw bsomeIMG_5296bsomeIMG_5314bsomeIMG_5317 bsomeIMG_5313bw bsomeIMG_5305bsomeIMG_5522 bsomeIMG_5330bwbsomeIMG_5347bwbsomeIMG_5383bw bsomeIMG_5375 bsomeIMG_5367bsomeIMG_5409 bsomeIMG_5401bw bsomeIMG_5428bwbsomeIMG_5432bsomeIMG_5436bw bsomeIMG_5437 bsomeIMG_5439bsomeIMG_5455 bsomeIMG_5454bw bsomeIMG_5465 bsomeIMG_5493bsomeIMG_5483 bsomeIMG_5484 bsomeIMG_5485 bsomeIMG_5498bsomeIMG_5508
