Paul and Daisy had an amazingly beautiful event just outside of London, every detail was stunning and all the guests enjoyed themselves. The wedding was gorgeous and incorporated a mix of Daisy’s English, and Paul’s Scottish culture.  A lot of great planning came together perfectly, and you couldn’t ask for a more beautiful location, or better day for a wedding.

It was a pleasure to be a part of this wedding, Paul and Daisy are a wonderful couple, were great hosts, and made sure I was well taken care of for the entire week leading up to the wedding. Cheers to Paul and Daisy! I hope to see you both again someday soon.  It was a challenge narrowing down all the images we took and deciding which to share with everyone, I hope you enjoy these images!

Here are a few photos of the happy couple during some down time before the actual wedding, when they weren’t busy showing me the sites or finishing up last minute details.

I love this scene.

One of my favorites from the day.

Paul and Daisy had a lovely picnic of lemonade and fresh scones available for their guests on location in the Tree Cathedral, before moving to the reception which was located downtown.

Here are a few guests. I appreciate their attire which added even more culture to a wonderfully culture filled wedding.

This one is for Paul, Daisy was a gorgeous bride.

Congratulations Paul and Daisy!

Lorien & Taylor are getting married.

This shoot was special to me, Lorien is one of my dearest friends, and I’m stoked about this couple. As you will see in the photos, they are perfect together, also quite hilarious, they had me laughing most of the afternoon. Sadly, I will be out of town on their wedding day, (summer schedules are crazy – there’s no way around it) and it just kills me to think about missing their party! I can only imagine how fun it will be.

We took advantage of the beautiful weather a few days ago, and headed down to the beach for the afternoon to climb around on rocks.  I had a blast hanging out with them.  Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot. Enjoy!

Taylor wasn’t really into getting his photo taken, but I caught him admiring this nice rock.

I love it. Congratulations!

Last month I had the privilege of being part of Nathan and Coni’s wedding in La Serena Chile (LINK). It was an incredible wedding and an all together amazing trip. Here are some photos from the road.

(above: new years eve in Panama City, Panama)

some great lines, flying into Santiago.

I arrived late at night in Panama, headed to find some food,  when the camera came out it just wasn’t ready for the tropical heat or humidity.

out for groceries.

When I asked if I could take her photo she said, “no! go take photos of younger people” I said, “okay, but that she looked pretty sitting with her flowers.” She smiled and let me take her photo.

Nathan and Coni had a beautiful Destination wedding in La Serena, Chile.  Following these two, and their families around Chile, was truly an epic experience and led many great memories and images (more of the trip will be sure to appear on here later). The wedding was gorgeous, located just up the Elqui Valley, about 30 km From Chile’s oldest city, La Serena, in a small town called “El Molle.”  Great food, delicious Chilean Wine, Picso Sours (a local drink), the sun, amazing people, dancing, and great conversation all made this two week wedding adventure unforgettable for all involved.

Here are a few of Nathan & Coni that came from our days together before the wedding as we explored La Serena, enjoying the sun, wine, and awesomeness.

we spent a few days in Santiago, the country’s capital, before taking the 8 hour bus ride to La Serena. This was taken in the subway, that we used plenty to get around the city.

Here’s Coni moments before she walked down the isle.

Cocktail hour/toasts began right after the kiss, when champagne was brought out to everyone. Nathan looks pleased to be married here.

love this

Talking about photos before wedding as we walked around the city, we knew we wanted something with cactus. This is what we got.

El Molle

Congratulations guys! It was an honor to be a part or this wedding. I’ll put up more photos of pre wedding stuff, and the family soon.

Cub & Sarah had a beautiful winter wedding near Lancaster, PA. It was a great day full of family and friends, fun wedding day build up, and a beautiful evening celebration with great food and lots of dancing. Here are a few from their day. Special props to Sarah who braved the 20 degree weather in her beautiful dress for some of these images, I think it was worth it.
