adventures in second shooting.

last december, i was totally honored to shoot a wedding with mr. bryan rupp. not to be too mushy-gushy, but i totally respect this dude's work. it's pretty much my fave. can i be honest with you though? it was WEIRD to be the second shooter and not the one running the show! all day i had an internal dialogue going, reminding myself that this was bryan's deal and i needed to follow his lead. haha, it completely threw me that i didn't have to be the one in charge!

in spite of my silly "simmer down, i'm not the main photog" speech that was on repeat inside my mind, it was a great day. corbin and danielle were so incredibly chill, i wish i could bottle their attitudes and sell it on theknot.com. you know, happy, laid-back bride and groom potion. :) they simply focused on having a good time with their friends, family, and each other- such a beautiful holiday wedding.






























beautiful wedding, beautiful gray december day. so glad i was able to be there. bryan, thanks again for the opportunity to shoot with you! i had a blast.

chad + stacey (wedding)


this post is long overdue.

long, long, long. see, i'm not always great at consistently blogging. (<--- captain obvious statement, right over yonder.) ahem. moving right along.

i got to know these two pretty well over the course of preparing for and shooting their wedding. (i love when that happens!) when their big day finally arrived, i knew that the whole shebang HAD to make it onto my blog. and... i told them this would be the case. however, just as soon as those words were out of my mouth, the season hit high gear and all i was doing was trying to keep up with work and travel and a little bit of life. taking the time to blog this wedding the way i'd wanted to definitely went on my back burner. but now, in the gloomy cold of winter, we all have a chance to enjoy the story of their big day and the beautiful colors of summer. :) all's well that ends well?









one thing i loved about this couple is their sense of adventure. literally- they were up for anything. yes, that is stacey after several hours of getting ready for her wedding day. yes, she is crossing a river to get to a shoot location. with no assistance. and yes, she has killer balance and coordination, because there wasn't even one close call! bam. go super bride, go.







their actual ceremony was at a family friend's home, overlooking a beautiful lake in upstate new york. family and friends stood closeby to watch chad and stacey say their vows to each other.















...afterwards, there was much celebration. :) who doesn't love a party?















chad, stace, your day was beautiful. i so appreciate the love that you have for each other and the way you celebrated that love on your wedding day. a belated congratulations, and thank you for letting me be a part of your life together!
