You saw their spectacular rehearsal sail, now check out their wedding! Beautiful, elegant and very custom– every detail of this wedding was fully thought out, from the custom made bridesmaid’s dresses to the cake designed by Danielle (and probably my favorite cake I’ve seen thus far!) It was a grand affair indeed!

Soon, all images from Danielle and Mitch’s wedding will be available for viewing and purchasing by clicking the little shopping cart in the bottom corner. Please remember that it is a copyright violation to copy or use these photos in any way. Music is by the talented Portland musician and dj Joe Farren.

This morning a few of the Lucky Pups came over to play in our yard and get their photos taken. Tucker had a blast!

First, on the left, is Maddie. She has been with her foster family including Diesel (not pictured) her foster brother, and she is doing great. I fell in love with her at first sight, and so did Tucker. She’s got lots of energy but is totally in control, sweet, and easy to handle. I think if Tucker could speak English he’d ask to keep her. Here’s more info on Maddie.

In the middle is Roxi who’s story will break your heart. Roxi, a Rottweiler Beagle mix is living with her foster brother Wesley, at the right. Roxy a smaller dog (these photos next to eachother make them look about the same size!) and is doing well living with Wesley, who is a big goofball and will surely bring a lot of joy into someone’s home! Click here for info on Roxi, and here for info on Wesley.

Last weekend I ventured down to Newport, RI, for Mitch & Danielle’s wedding weekend. Instead of an engagement shoot, we decided that I’d cover their incredible “rehearsal dinner” — really a sunset sail on the Schooner Aurora in Newport! Such a unique, fun experience for me, and I’m sure for Mitch, Danielle, and their guests as well!

It was a great send-off for a gorgeous wedding. Mitch and Danielle are dressed, appropriately, in navy stripes. Love it.

At the end of the sail, the crew asked for no flash on the camera, which gave me a chance to get creative and look outside the boat– holy smokes! What a breathtaking view we had!

Finally, here are a couple of cards from 2009, which I just perched in a tree outside of my door… I couldn’t get more than four in the photo without them falling out of the tree!

Here are my first shots with my new 105mm f/2 Nikon lens. No editing whatsoever. (See that crooked horizon? That’s because I can no longer lay flat on my tummy so my ground pics are all a bit askew! Hahah!)  I am in loooooove!
