I’m so happy to tell you Nina & Pete’s story.  I shot this beautiful couple’s Wedding almost 3 years ago.  I was so happy to get a call from Nina telling me that she’s expecting and how excited she is for me to take photos of her growing belly.  It was so nice seeing the happy couple even more in love than they were on their wedding day! Nina & Pete are expecting their bundle of joy, Caoimhe, in a few weeks.  I cannot wait to meet her and take her newborn photos.  I know that Nina & Pete are going to be fantastic parents and are eagerly expecting her arrival!

Enjoy Nina’s belly pics and stay tuned for photos of their sweet bundle of joy!

I had the chance to photograph beautiful baby Anjali when she was exactly a month old.  She was such a sweet baby! She had a hard time falling asleep at first, but once she did, all of the magic happened! I could tell just how much both her mom and dad adore her.  I even convinced her grandma to get in a few photos, I know she will cherish them one day when she’s a young lady.

Enjoy the photos below.  If you’re currently expecting, go ahead and book your newborn session now.

It’s not everyday you get to watch one of your really great friends get married, and it’s also not everyday that you get to be their wedding photographer.  I have known Narin for many many years and still remember the first time she started talking to Trevor about 10 yrs ago! I know! They have been together for what seems like forever, hehe. I was so glad to finally see them tie the knot. They are such a perfect couple and I couldn’t be happier for them!

Trevor is from Alaska and Narin is from Cambodia.  They really wanted to blend both of their cultures into their Wedding and I think they did an amazing job.  Narin & Trevor had their Wedding Ceremony at the beautiful Emory Hotel & Conference Center.  It was just the most perfect day! Blue skies, birds chirping and just the perfect amount of a fall breeze.   They had a traditional American ceremony in a garden surrounded by their closest family & friends.  The ceremony was short and sweet, everyone blew bubbles into the wind and it was so magical!  But it wasn’t over yet.  After taking a break for a few hours to refuel and recharge, we were all off to party.

The reception was held at the Royal China Restaurant.  Narin really wanted to incorporate both of their cultures, and had a traditional Cambodian reception with lots of American traditions mixed in as well. Everything was so amazing!  Narin, Trevor, and their entire Bridal Party ditched their gowns and tuxes for traditional Khmer outfits, but not for too long.  After greeting & welcoming all of the guests, they changed back into their American attire to be introduced, cut the cake and do some dancing.  The Bridal party stayed in their gowns and tuxes the rest of the night, but Narin changed several more times, with each outfit being even more beautiful than the one before.  The entire night was just full of surprises, laughs, happy tears and lots of dancing!

I had such a blast at this wedding and I feel so honored that Trevor & Narin let me capture this special day in their lives.  Wishing this happily married couple only the best in life! Enjoy the photos below.  I know there are A LOT of pics, but I was with them for about 16 hrs and had a lot to choose from! hehe. All of  the make-up for the Ceremony & Reception for the Bride & all of the bridesmaids was done by the super talented Mimi Oh Professional MUA. (If you’re interested, check out Narin & Trevor’s Engagement Session)

Thank you, thank you thank you to all of my fantastic brides and grooms for all of my amazing review and thank you WeddingWire!!!  I would also like to say a quick Thank You to my incredible husband and my beautiful children for their continued support and thank you G-d for letting me see my dream so early in life so I can do what I absolutely love everyday.  Without all of you, this award would not even be possible.

I know the speech might be a little much, but let’s face it, I’m not going to win an Oscar or a Grammy anytime soon, so I might as well do my super awesome speech now! hehe

And just in case you were wondering…

How are the winners determined?
The WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Awards ™ recognizes the top local wedding professionals from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellence in quality, service, responsiveness and professionalism. Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the organization, the WeddingWire Bride’s Choice Awards™ are awarded solely based on the reviews from over 1.2 million newlyweds. Awards are determined by a combination of four factors: Overall rating (quality), total number of reviews (quantity), review performance from 2011 (recency), and consistency of reviews from year to year (consistency). This year’s recipients represent the top 5% of WeddingWire’s vendor community, across all service categories and all regions throughout the US and Canada.

Much Love!

Wow, Angelia & Robert are just such a sweet couple.  They got married 15 years ago, but never had to have an actual wedding.  It was always their dream to have a wedding where all of their closest family & friends could attend, and they finally made that dream happen on their 15 year Wedding Annivesary.  Their Vow Renewal was just so sweet and amazing.  I probably cried more than Angie did.

It was truly an honor to be there and witness such amazing LOVE!  They should definitely be an inspiration to us all.  Enjoy looking at the photos of their special dream come true day.  Angie also hired us for Videography services, so feel free to check out their beautiful Wedding Montage here: Angelia & Robert’s Wedding Video Montage.

I would like to introduce you all to a sweet baby boy named Malik.  I had the pleasure of photographing his newborn session when he was 4 wks old.  Since he was born a little bit early, we wanted to wait to do his session.  He was such a good boy!  He was awake for about 90% of his photoshoot, he didn’t want to miss a thing!

I know that his mom & dad are already proud of him, and he will continue to make them proud forever.  Enjoy the post below and in case you missed Malik’s session when he was in his mom’s belly, check them out here: Shabana Maternity Session
