Ariel + Joshua — Camp Wedding on Lake Ossipee, NH

Oh my goodness, are you ready to look at a LOT of photos?! Ari & Josh’s wedding at Camp Cody was SO FUN, I just need to share a bunch of photos to show you how fun it was, so brace yourselves!

The girls getting ready – that’s Ari there in the curlers ;)

Just a little excited ;)

Such a natural beauty!

Meanwhile, my fantastic second shooter, Matt Grazier of Grazier Photography was having some fun with the guys…

I love the Bride’s reception and the Bedeken! Definitely my favorite part of the day at every Orthodox Jewish wedding!

LOVE this shot Matt captured of Josh coming from the Tisch to see his bride!

And Matt’s shot of the women seeing him coming – so much excitement!

This explains why my legs hurt so bad the morning after shooting a wedding!

LOVE these moments!

Matt’s perspectives during the Ketubah signing…

Once the Ketubah was signed, everyone headed to the other side of the camp for the ceremony! It had to be moved indoors because it was so unseasonably cold that day!

In a traditional Jewish, the bride would circle the groom, but for this wedding they circled each other.

RUNNING out the door!

An entertaining Bridal Party is a must!

“Hey guys, just go over there and hang out and enjoy being married for a minute!” This is what they gave me… :)

This one was a little less silly, a little more sultry… so versatile, these two!

Ari was freezing, but she still managed to look gorgeous in the setting sun by the lake!

A few moments out of the wind to wrap up our portraits!

Then it was off to the reception, where the dancing was nearly endless!!!

Cristen captured these amazing moments!

This one explains my shoulder pain… This job is hard work!! This also captures some of Josh’s awesomeness :)

The band had to shut down the music and practically beg everyone to sit down for dinner, haha! But they were happy to listen to some great toasts!

Then is was back to the dance floor!! Where are the finger pointing moves from the engagement session, I ask you?!

More Josh awesomeness…

A little late night toast by the bridesmaid who introduced them!

Ariel + Joshua — New Hampshire Summer Camp Engagement Portraits

Oh yeah, this was SUCH a great engagement session!!! I met up with Ari & Josh in New Hampshire at Camp Cody on Lake Ossipee, where they would hold their wedding a few months later. It was such a beautiful and FUN place to shoot! They brought their dog with them and we tromped all over the campground taking pictures, splashing in the water, jumping over logs, dancing in the woods, and leaping out of canoes. This may be my favorite engagement session ever :)

To start off, they’re gorgeous, and Ari’s dress is fabulous!

Haha, the pup couldn’t resist the lake!

Oh, not only are the beautiful… they are TOTAL goofballs!!! Woohoo!

Isn’t this place lovely?!

Then it was time for a little costume change and an all-wine picnic :)

Then it was time for our favorite part of the day! The part where they get in a canoe and recreate their engagement on Phewa Lake in Pokhara, Nepal… and then jump out of the canoe!

It’s not the Himalayas, but it will certainly do!

Get ready! We’re gonna do it!

Even the pup knew what to do :)

The poor dog was just panicking, wanting to be with them but having a hard time swimming for so long! He kept getting out, running back down the pier and jumping into the water again! He just loves them so much, he had to be with them!!

I’m surprised I didn’t see more of this dance move at their reception… ;)

Not a bad way to the end the day!

See?! Wasn’t that awesome?! Ari & Josh – you guys are the best! Thank you for being so fun to work with, and such a joy to photograph!

Head on over to Facebook to see more of my favorites!

Kris & Erin’s Indiana Wedding

Earlier this summer, I had the chance to go back home to Indiana for some quality time with the fam, and to photograph my little cousin’s wedding. Kristopher has always been one of my favorites (ok, I probably say that about all my cousins, but still, it’s true) so when he asked me to shoot his wedding, I couldn’t say no! Kris is a comedian, a video producer, and a film maker. So naturally, they chose a theater as the backdrop for their wedding.

Kris and Erin got married at the Paramount Theatre in Anderson, Indiana.

K is for Krista! Just kidding, their last name is Knight ;)

My uncle Kurt looking very handsome

Getting ready

This perfectly Kristopher photo was taken by my assistant, Kyle Peters

I love hand-written vows!!!

This theater was such a cool place for photos!! Doesn’t Erin look beautiful?!

Just before heading down the aisle

The ceremony took place on the stage. Stage lights on and house lights off made the photos very dramatic.

Kris cried like a baby during the ceremony ;) but there was also a LOT of laughter!

The Bridal Party in the balcony. The theater was GORGEOUS!

Even though it rained most of the day, the sun came out just in time for some photos!

I love that Erin’s up on her tip toes!

We had to take some more photos back inside because it was just too beautiful!

Kris & Erin had their first dance to Flight of the Conchords, “Most Beautiful Girl in the Room”… press play and enjoy!

They are really good dancers…

Their reception was a blast and all their friends were dancing like crazy. I could share SO many pics, but instead, I’ll just share this one of Kris dancing with our sassy Grandma. It makes me smile :)

And, here’s a little snapshot of my family. Looking at this I realized how much my sister looks like my Dad, and I look like my mom! I think when we were younger that was reversed. Funny how that happens as you grow up :)

Kris & Erin – I love you guys!! I’m so glad I could be there for your wedding! Now that you’re both living it up in NYC, you’ll have to come up to Boston for a visit :) I hope you love the photos!!
