Infectiously happy.

When you’re around them you can’t help but be happy with them. Smiling faces are so a part of who they are that I knew there wouldn’t be too many serious poses during their photoshoot.  Which was fine with me because I had an absolute blast with them! I just couldn’t be more happy for them. These two are best of friends and they showed it.

Let me introduce you to Joey and Mary!

Now if you’re not smiling after looking at these photos…I’m not sure what’s wrong with you.  I love this couple and these photos!

Joey and Mary… don’t ever change. I hope that as you continue your lives together that you’d continue to let your wonderful personalities infect those around you.  Thank you for hiring me to photograph you two during this special time of your lives!

So after all the guests left the reception, the bridal party met at Coolidge Park. We had to move quickly because it had been raining on and off throughout the day and it certainly looked like it was going to rain again.

After this initial shot, the wedding party seemed to lack energy and were just going to pose for the camera. “Posing for the camera” doesn’t define this group of young energetic people, so I had to get them out of their shell.  Once I gave them “creative freedom” to run any of their crazy ideas past me, it got really fun really fast.  They were coming up with wild stuff and we decided to act on all of their ideas.  Here are some of my favorites!

Each guys’ personality came through here. I gave them basic instruction and turned them loose – and I love what came out of it!

Allow me to shed some light on this next picture: we decided to run in slow motion down the hill!

It was fun to watch the bride calmly watch the groomsmen nearly kill her new husband.  She had full faith in them. Such a fun series to photograph!

I love the contrast here: beautiful, classy ladies and a rusted, dilapidated staircase!
