Winter wedding – Patti & Graham
Happy new year! Spent a nice Christmas holiday with the family and very much enjoyed the festivities and home cooking. And now it’s time to catch up on some of the winter work I’ve recently shot.
While a silvery Christmas feel was the primary theme for Patti and Graham’s wedding, basketball was clearly a close second as these two ball players tied the knot shortly before Christmas. The portrait session at the Legislative Building was really nice in that we had a really big chunk of time to work with, which allowed me to try more elaborate lighting with the wedding party shots. The reception out at Bel Acres country club was chock full of basketball themes, including the bridal party being introduced like a starting lineup and guests having to successfully shoot a mini-ball into the basket to get the couple to kiss. And almost as if on cue, the snow began to fall just as the dancing got underway and we managed to sneak out for a quick shot in the dark against the falling snowflakes. Congrats Patti & Graham! And here’s a sneak peek…










Oh my gosh…these photos take my breath away. They are awesome and so creative. What a wonderful setting for the photos and I love the basketball and the wedding slippers… Patti is the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen. You captured the happiness and the joy on both their faces with these photos. Now I want to see ALL OF THEM! I don’t care how long it takes for me to look at them.
CONGRATULATIONS to the photographer and the bride and groom!

Heavenly last picture, and like Cousin Susanne, I too love the wedding slipper on the basketball shot!
