Gabe + Erin | weddings
Warning: I am blogging too many of these images. Just going to go ahead and tell you. I loved the venue. Belle Terra. I loved the light. The weather. I loved the bride. The groom. The people. Everything was perfect.
The shoes were so pretty to me. Perfectly feminine. Erin’s brother did the flowers (right?) and I gotta give him props. They rocked.
And I apologize in advance for the fact that my bride, Erin, here is a hottie. Sorry. Its just true. She is.
A shot from Erin’s bridal portrait at Barnsley Gardens.
and then another on the wedding day. Isn’t she stunning?!
hubba hubba. Gabe. The groom.

a tiny peek of the ceremony details… more of the ceremony in the slideshow!
Did I mention this venue was bea-u-ti-ful???
I had to pull rank on Gabe and Erin to get these pictures. It was party-time in their minds but I flashed my sad eyes and they let me drag them up the hill to the house that has the lake, the dock, the sunset and…. the weeping willow tree.
I like the above interpretation of the scene but I also liked it taken with a wide angle… So, I am sharing both!
Gabe and Erin had no trouble entertaining each other while I hid behind a tree for these shots. Get a room!!! Just kidding. It’s my favorite, when the bride and groom forget I am there and lose themselves in each other, yea… that is my favorite.
Just one more? pretty please?
Ok… if you saw my twitter and facebook statuses last week, you heard me crying about my worst fear being realized. I got sick at the end of last week. Not like the sniffles but like struck down. (warning: drama queen in me is coming out). But seriously, the way I felt Thursday night, I couldn’t have shot a wedding if my life depended on it. I do not get sick very often and when I do… it kicks my bootie. But thankfully, no swine flu here… just strep. So doc gave me meds and I was supposed to be good to go by kick-off on Saturday. And I was, but then I wasn’t feeling super about 30 minutes into the reception. And can I just say… my second shooter is the B-O-M-B dot COM… seriously. Daniel Stancil shot this wedding with me (my usual associate photographer had a wedding to shoot elsewhere) and he rocked the house. I can’t express enough how thankful I am to have fabulous people shoot with me. I couldn’t pull it off without them.
So, with those props to Daniel, I have to share these reception photos. Priceless. The next three are his interpretation of the craziness that is a wedding reception.
Finn… he detached himself from Daddy’s hip and turned into a party animal. You guys are going to have to keep an eye on this one.
Loved this shot of this beautiful red head… Erin’s sister in law, maybe? They look so happy!
And this last one of mine is probably going to cause Erin to feel less than amiable towards me… but I like it. Its like she is being sprayed with cold water instead a light shower of rose petals.
CLICK HERE FOR THE SLIDESHOW!!! Thanks for an amazing day and for inviting me to be a part of it all!!!
