Linda and Jon’s wedding brought an extra large dose of awesome.  It was more than just a wedding day.. it was an EVENT!  A beautiful traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony, followed by an outdoor wedding ceremony at Murray’s Pond.  The day was spectacular, and Jon and Linda were fantastic!! I had such a great time with you guys! Thank you for having me be a part of the party!  And what a party it was! 

So, two days after their wedding, Linda and Jon hosted a 12-course Chinese dinner, which I was invited to photograph, and enjoy.  The food was exquisite, the company superb.. and I may or may not have been up singing karaoke into the wee hours..

Kate and Ryan were married on July 31st of this year, but I was not available to take their photos.  Instead, we got together two days later for some beautiful bridal shots.  Not exactly trash the dress.. more like get the dress really wet and look amazing while doing so. You guys were fantastic, and really brought the awesome.  Enjoy!

Congratulations to Melissa and Jonathan! Melissa was such an excited bride, and the two of them together were so much fun.  Jonathan wanted to be sure to get a ‘CODCO’ type shot of the guys walking through the streets downtown, and we had a great day to do that.  I thank you both for inviting me to photograph your wedding.  It was lovely, and I wish you all the very best!!
