lauren & mark

another beautiful october day, another beautiful couple...

i originally worked with lauren back in 2009 when she was a bridesmaid in krista and matt's wedding in key west. she was one of the bridesmaids that ended up in the pool with her dress on at the end of the night so i knew i'd be in for a good time when i joined her and mark at the crossed keys inn...

doggy at prep = awesome

so pretty...

love the chemistry between lauren and mark...

the falling leaf makes this shot for me...

gotta love lauren's dad's expression...

i love how lauren and mark held hands while they lit the unity candle...

doggy at church = awesomer

cutie pie...

lauren does the laugh-cry as she dances with her dad. we are big fans of the laugh-cry in my family...

someone's pregnant...

quite the party crowd...

krista and matt still having a blast with one another...

moms battling...

doggy at reception = awesomest

too cute!

wonderful weather, wonderful place, wonderful couple and a wild crowd. i had a blast shooting lauren and mark's wedding. thanks to david lim and kelsey davis for helping out.

meaghan & brian

it's pretty apparent that i am a major animal lover, so of course i was excited when meaghan and brian told me they wanted to do their engagement session at the bronx zoo, a place they really enjoy together. i don't think i'd been there since i was in elementary school and despite my freakishly detailed memory about many things, all i remember about my trip to the bronx zoo is that i bought a comb from the gift shop. hah.

(now my mom is thinking, 'i paid all that money for her to go on a school trip to the zoo

so her one memory about it could be buying a comb?')

this photo makes me happy...

If they had a band, this would be meaghan and brian's album cover.

first track--- the leaf completes it for me

i don't know if meaghan and brian realize this, but i'm afraid of the dark, but i still went in the dark, scary cave to get this shot.

i posted this photo because i love the creeper kid...

the gorillas and monkeys are happy that the zoo brings entertainment for them to watch...

this gorilla pretty much rules...

defcon 1 coolness...this gorilla is happenin'. i dream of being this chill.

oddly enough, as we were walking to the seabird area, i mentioned that it is, in fact, tough to be a penguin. true story.

these two have contagious smiles and laughter...what a blast!

brian roaring at meaghan. the shots of him 'giraffing' her just didn't work...

i love scrunch face...

awww...

while at the zoo i realized that i really need a monkey or a gorilla. i'm totally amazed by their similarities to humans. and yeah, duh, i know we are closely related but it

still totally amazes me...

i had a pleasant surprise when i went to the mailbox the other day, meghan and brian surprised me by sending this beautiful monkey portrait book. so awesome!

thank you.
