Colleen and Josh got married on a beautiful spring day before this wretched infernal heat wave/drought set in… so looking back at the lush green backgrounds of their images made me happy!  Plus they are adorable.  And crazy about each other… that makes photographing people fun.  Enough rambling… show the photos already!

 

the lovely Colleen

 

 

she’s got  “something blue” covered!

 

I love when I can show two things side by side that happened in different places at the same time… I photographed Colleen’s mom holding a photo from her wedding that she brought for good luck, and Kristie photographed Josh holding the rings in his hands….  great minds think alike!

 

Josh has the bluest, palest eyes on the planet

first look!

 

i love this one.

 

 

 

gorgeous bouquets by Sisters Flowers

 

see… LOOK at all that GREEN!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

okay, I am including this one because it made me snort with laughter.  In reality it is just the limo driver escorting Colleen back to the limo… but for some reason it struck me that it appears she is under arrest and being hauled off to jail!  HA!

 

 

again… two simultaneous moments!

 

 

 

 

 

Colleen surprised Josh (who is a self professed “car guy”) with a cool vintage ride!

I love classic getaway car photos!!

 

here we go sneaking off for more portrait time!
