While I was in South Dakota, I tagged along on an engagement session of Cory Ann’s (my wonderful host for the Michelle Turner Photography seminar). She will be photographing the wedding of Amanda and Jordan later this summer! Anyway, here are a few of my faves from the day:








Day 2 from the Michelle Turner Photography Seminar in South Dakota! We hit downtown Brookings, SD, and found some really great urban backdrops before we headed back to Cory Ann’s studio to work on photoshop/enhancing/the evolution of the image. Our beautiful bride, Ashley, was absolutely fantastic! The flowers (from the previous day, too) were created by the extremely talented Sarah Green of House of Green. Here are a few of my faves from the day:






I just arrived home from giving the Michelle Turner Photography Seminar in South Dakota! My incredible hostess was Cory Ann Ellis from AC Ellis Photography- for all of you photographers out there, you can check out Cory Ann’s marketing and boudoir seminars later this year!
We had a fantastic group of photographers- I had so much fun at this seminar! And the weather in South Dakota was absolutely gorgeous (though a touch hot!)- I loved Brookings!
Here are some of the pics from day one of the seminar- Cory Ann and her husband Andy were our fab models for the first day:






I photographed the engagement session of Magda and Dan last week. They are getting married this fall at the Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport, Maine, which is a gorgeous venue! Magda and Dan brought their fun-loving dog- he was in love with the smells of the farm! Here are a few of my faves from the day:






Jenny and Justin were married at the Retreat at French’s Point. What a fun couple! As soon as I arrived for prep photographs, I found Jenny and her bridesmaids dancing in her room! And they kept up the fun all day- from the wonderful speeches to the reception dances! Here are a few of my faves from the day, or you can view the slideshow here:

I photographed Donny and Mel in Maine the other day! I photographed their destination wedding in Mexico a few months ago, and they came up to Maine from NYC for a mini-vacation and brought the wedding dress and suit! Here are a few of my faves:





Nancy and Mox held their wedding reception at the beautiful Peninsula Hotel in Chicago. The wedding was coordinated by D&M Events in Chicago- they did a wonderful job organizing this stunning event! It was a gorgeous day- sunny and breezy! Here are a few of my faves from the day or view their slideshow here:

Nancy and Mox wanted to visit their boat (on the left)- it gave us another great view of the Chicago skyline:

Isn’t the church absolutely stunning?

I have never seen so many people participate in the rice toss before! Look at all that rice flying!

Eric and I photographed the wedding of Sarah and Rob last week at the Retreat at French’s Point, one of my favorite venues on the east coast. The wedding was an absolutely gorgeous affair, coordinated by Kate Parker Weddings. Although the weather called for thunderstorms, it was a beautiful day on the coast of Maine. Here are a few of my faves from the day, or you can see the slideshow here.
Some of the incredible details:


The beautiful bride, in her very unique dress- check out the gorgeous lace that her mom is holding!

The ceremony site is absolutely breathtaking- panoramic views of the water and a blue sky that goes on forever:

The bridal party- what a great group!

The dinner setup was amazing- beautiful linens in a fantastic room with views to the ocean:

One of my favorite photographs from the day- check out the lighting in the tent! And I love this moment between Rob and Sarah:
