From my personal projects

(click on images to enlarge)

I have envisioned this shoot for 13-months and it finally came to be last week. I was so excited, because the subject was my brother Jack, doing what he loves second in line to being a fab husband and father.

He's always there for me when I need to ask a question, or I am driving in the city and can't find my way.

He knows that no matter how hard I try not to call him in "two's," I almost always do.

We share a liking of technology and electronics and now instead of calling him right back, I can e-mail him. (Thank you Blackberry!)

When we were little kids, we shared a room and he would wake me up at night and ask me to get him "a gass of watta" and as the dutiful big sister, I always did.

He's my younger brother, yet often I think of him as my older brother.

He is the worlds best brother (WBB!)

I love you Jack!

It's never too late to have the first dance...

Jack and Alison met in graduate school. They had an intimate family wedding in April 2008, which you can see here. This past weekend they celebrated their love with family and friends.

Favorite moment: "Our first dance."




How was the day different than you imagined: "It was over before I knew it! People said it would go quickly and to try to slow down and enjoy each moment....it’s really good advice....because it is over so fast and you really want to remember every detail."

Advice for other couples: "You will learn a lot about yourself through this process and if you slow down and listen to people’s advice, you will learn even more. Be open and have fun!! And get an event planner - they make ALL THE DIFFERENCE. We had very little stress thanks to our wonderful event planners!"

The day in three words: "Exciting, Fun, Heartwarming"

Event Planner/Coordinator: True Colors Events - Travis McBurney and Jesse Brix. This was my first time working with Travis and Jesse and they were fabulous! They made my job as the photographer go smoothly.
