I Had Such A Great Time With This Bunch Of Ladies... It's Kind Of A Dream To Have A Group Who Are Really Into Posing!! I'm A Little Obsessed With Layers & Levels In Group Photos When I Have Something More Than Flat Ground To Work With! Anyone Else Really Love Posing Portraits As Much As I Do?

Bride & Daughter, Wedding Day! Santorini, Greece!

I Have Been Dreaming About Shooting At The Bonneville Salt Flats From The First Time I Saw A Picture Of Them. Tonight, That Dream Came True! What A Truly Amazing Place! What's More Amazing Though? Burgundy & Mike, For Trudging Out In The That Cold Water & Standing On The Crazy Sharp Salt (i Had No Idea Salt Was That Sharp!) After Spending Hours In A Car With Me. Worth It? Abso-frickin-lutely!

Wedding Details, Decoration, Reception. Santorini, Greece.

So There's A Few Reasons Why I Chose To Go On A Bit Of A Break From My Regular World This Week. Around This Time Last Year I Was Planning A Trip To California, But I Had To Put That Trip On Hold When We Found Out My Mom Had Cancer. I Pretty Much Dropped Everything And Flew To Newfoundland For A Few Weeks In March. I Went Back Home, Took A Short Trip To Toronto, And Quickly Went Back To Newfoundland As Mom Was Deteriorating Quickly. It Was A Year Ago Today That We Lost Her. ⁣ ⁣ I Thought Going Away And Working Like Crazy Would Distract Me From How I Feel, It's Always Been My Way To Bury My Feelings, Suppress All The Bad, But It Only Worked To A Certain Point. I Did Enjoy Getting To Hang Out With @coleycookphotography And @jenlgray This Morning Before It All Hit Me, Weirdly, Almost To The Exact Moment That Mom Slipped Away. So I'm Going To Spend The Evening Curled Up In Bed, Crying My Eyes Out Sporadically And Thinking About What Awesome Things Mom Would Have Said About The Photos I've Been Taking Lately If She Had The Chance To See Them.

Bridal Shoes!

I Can't Dance, So I Like To Make Other People Do It So I Can Watch!⁣ ⁣ I Seriously Need To Shoot Here One More Time Before I Go Home... Who Wants To Go Shoot??? Pretty Please??

I Was Picking Rocks Out Of My Knees After Getting This Shot. I Loved This Background But When I Was Standing Up You Could See The Road Below So I Laid Out On The Ground To Make It All Disappear, Making It Look Like We Were In A Much More Remote Location! Genius, Right?

I Thought I Was Pretty Aware Of What My Photo Style Was, But I've Learned Even More About What I Like From This Trip. I Would Drool Over Photos I Saw With The Crazy Red Rocks, But I've Now Realized That's Not A Look For Me. My Editing Style Just Doesn't Work With Those Deep Reds & Browns, Those Super Earthy Tones Are Not Me. I Still Love My Blues, Grays & Greens Of The Mountains Most, But I Have Learned That I Love The Soft Pastels Of The Desert... So Along With Mountains, This Is What I Want To Shoot More Of! I Am Just In Love With This Spot, A Little Area Off The Side Of The Highway, Easy To Ignore When Driving By, It's Just Spectacular!

I’ve Always Been A Pretty Strong Believer That Everything Happens For A Reason. Destiny, Fate, Whatever You Want To Call It, Has An Interesting Way Of Showing Up In Our Lives. For These Two It Was Their Cats. They Each Adopted A Cat From The Same Litter Nine Years Before Meeting Each Other. Basically, As One Of Heather’s Bridesmaids Put It, Their Cats Parent Trapped Them 😂 Now If That Isn’t A Sign I Don’t Know What Is! Side Note: These Florals Had Me Drooling...literally... I Wanted To Eat The Little Kumquats Off Of Them The Entire Time, But They Are Also Gorgeous As Heck So I Had To Hold Back Haha🤪 • Vendors: Photo: @pariskarshphoto Coordinator: @sweet_peach_planning Florals: @heartsandhoneydoevents Hair & Makeup: @doritegnizzani Venue: @carondelethouse Dj: @redshoela Catering: @treslacatering Desserts: @houseofpies

We're In The Mountains But There Is A Subtle Desert Feel. With The Lingering Snow, I Kinda Felt Like I Was Still At Home! I'm Curious If There Will Be Snow When I Go Back Next Week!

Groom! Santorini, Greece!

I’d Go Anywhere With You 🌎
