The session was shot throughout 1.5 days…why?? The entire day had been blissful with cool breezy winds, puffy white clouds, and warm golden sunshine…that is until Mother Nature kicked me in the face. The actual moment I arrive to the spot we were to meet, torrential downpour. Now, I can shoot when it slightly rains…but my cameras cannot shoot when hurricane Earl decided to take residence in Chicago for a lovely afternoon out. So, after scrambling and deciding what to do…two DAYS later (when it stopped raining) we were able to really shoot our session. And I must say, shoot it I did. There are more images from this session than I care to divulge, but after booking a later flight and staying days over in Chicago…it was the least I could do!

By the way, I blogged this session a bit differently…. Rhiannon is not only a lovely bride, but a very savvy planner and blogger extraordinaire. How lucky am I?!?  Essentially I took the sweet tidbits from her blog. Andy – you are a gentleman and so caring throughout this entire process…Rhi is entirely lucky to soon call you her husband. And Rhi…well you already know you had me at Cupcake.

…and a personal image I took while it was raining on the first day.  This is certainly going in my home.

Live wholeheartedly Blogstalkers,

Jenny’s mother had broken her arm AND nose the day before the wedding, a groomsman had recently broken (I suspect) an ankle (given the cast on his foot) and just as they started preparing for the ceremony, menacing clouds permeated the skies as a lofty test of her optimism. But! Jenny never once complained and quite the contrary, was thrilled to just become a wife to Jarred.

We all try to envision perfect scenarios for monumentous events in our lives, but as with human error and weather alike, we can’t ever guarantee nor should we ever demand perfection. Your wedding dress WILL become dirty eventually. (If not filthy, but only due to your outrageously amazing dance crowd!) Good news! These things can be cleaned. Also, people will be late. Tons of people will never RSVP yet but definitely show up. As irritating and dare I say – rude as it might be, they still want to be a part of your wedding day. Embrace them once your wedding day arrives. It just might rain on your wedding day. And while I say screw the adage that “Rain equals good luck don’t you know??!” it will be just fine (see below!). Unless you have a flood….that’s just not pretty.  Mothers, grandparents, and friends will make you crazy if you let them. (Especially on your wedding day!) My best advice and one thing I do very well: Laugh. Laugh, love, and embrace what comes.

Now you all owe me $6 for my sage wisdom.

Becky, can we be bff’s??? I adore you.  K, thanks. (Seriously.) You both have such a genuine sweetness that I could always be around and you are beyond easy to photograph.  (P.S. Part of this session’s location was Nate’s idea!)

Pick up your jaw, blogstalkers.

aaaaalmost forgot:

…because I’m a city girl to my core. I don’t mind traffic, crowds, or even the occasional public display of…urination. My heels are at least 3″ above anything that might dissolve my skin anyway. Right?

Truly, it is so much more than that. A city to me teems with unending and innumerable possibilities. I am much more than a city girl. I am also much more than just a photographer. Mark my words.

Dream blogstalkers,

Venue : Westbury Manor, New York.

Amid the freezing unusually cold (Sanjay you are a brave, brave woman for sitting in the middle of the street for me in that sub-thermal weather), getting all of our gear stolen hours before (lets not even start. k, thanks), peacocks, Christian Louboutins (♥!) a sword swinging belly-dancer, mixed with some fabulous move-bustin’ bridal party; it was a memorable day indeed. Sanjay has THE cutest style that I envy for my own wedding. (Louboutins and a Besty Johnson dress change anyone?) Mark (Noel) has the sweetest demeanor and after the early reception was done, he just sat and chatted with me for a while about the day, his family, and his new wife. I adore you Mark.

Thank you both for hosting a feast for my eyes and letting me document the sweet moments and all the eye-candy!

XOXO

Louboutins for everyone!
