i am working on a major blog update and overhaul and in the process, i am finding tons of pictures that i have never posted.

this one of annie and samuel seemed like a must share.

I was beside myself. It was such a fun wedding and Brittany had incredible style. I knew that it would represent our work really well. I’m humbled that they included me and featured my pictures alongside several of the other gifted photographers in the area. Hopefully I’ll get a chance again next year to be in their magazine and maybe one of you will be the bride that finds herself in that shiny spread!

This picture of Brittany featured her amazing hair piece in one of the opening pages of their 2011 Wedding Guide.

This was my featured page…

and to top things off, my ad was placed right next to the one for my sweet friend and paper princess, Amy Hannon

Jessica, Paige, and Audrey, daughters of Rollin and Sandie are incredible young women. Strong, well spoken, highly respected, and gracious, they are what I hope my daughters grow up to be like. Jessica’s wedding day was so fun, because the family was so honoring and close to each other. See what I mean…

welcome to the family Brian!

i think jessica is kind of fond of her daddy.

over the next few days i will be posting some of jessica and brian’s portraits and the rest of their wedding day. stay tuned!

kiss wedding books are a somewhat new kid on the block. they have been around for a few years, but like most wedding products, they were conceived and designed by former and current wedding professionals. i believe that they chose the name KISS for several reasons.

1. kissing obviously has love and wedding implications tied to it.
2. when you see these albums, you want to kiss it because it is so spectacular!
3. there is an old acronym that follows the letters of K.I.S.S. “Keep It Simple Stupid”

when you check out the KISS website you are immediately greeted by the statement, “Ooh Lah Simple.” I absolutely love their philosophy. In a Starbucks world of 87,000 different coffee combinations, KISS wedding albums keep it extraordinarily simple.

4 albums sizes (4×4 – 8×8 – 10×10 – 12×12) and 7 colors to choose from. that’s it!

all of the books are simple, square, leather, and thick with pages that make your wedding pictures POP. we have chosen to offer these albums exclusively as our only wedding book option. honestly, when you hold one of the books in your hand, you really don’t want anything less. the baseline starting album has 30 pages in it. we feel this is barely enough space to tell your wedding story well in a a book format. we try and keep to the simple philosophy and don’t cram a lot of images onto one page or bring many trendy design elements into our books. we want it to still be a family classic when your kids head off to college (except maybe for the grooms tuxedo!)

we leave out our kiss wedding books as an option for our wedding couples, but highly recommend everyone choosing to purchase one. there are smaller options (4×4) that make great books for parents or even bridesmaids. the design process is extremely simple, allowing you to pick out your favorite 50-60 wedding images as a base. if you need more, we can add more pages. once it is designed, there is a short approval process, then off to print! check out all the kissing wedding goodness over at the kiss website.
