Denise & Stuart: Wedding Part 2 {Charlottesville, VA Wedding Photographer}

It's part two of Denise and Stuart's fall wedding in Charlottesville, VA. I've had these pictures done since October, but working full time at Liberty Mountain during the ski season does not leave much time for blogging. Better late than never!

Denise and Stuart decided to see each other before the ceremony, and boy, am I glad they did. We were able to spend some time on the beautiful grounds of the estate and the colors could not have been more perfect. One of the main colors of Denise and Stuart's wedding - yellow. The color that this particular spot of the estate was filled with - yellow. Thank you fall leaves for being so gorgeous!
Now take those beautiful yellow leaves and throw 'em!
Oh my goodness I think this will be one of my favorite pictures of all time, no matter how long I am in this photography industry. I think this picture speaks volumes for my business and my style. Fun, fresh, colorful, easy-going, candid. I just love everything about this picture!
It now sits as a centerpiece in my office...

You guys are too cute!
A little attitude...
And a little fun!
HUGE family-group picture! We had very little time for formal family and group pictures, but these guys worked well with me and helped get the job done. Thanks everyone!
A few snapshots of the groom before the ceremony...
Some decoration details...
The girls are ready to go and Denise is ready to get hitched!

Stay tuned for part three of this lovely wedding!

Life in the In-Between {Carroll Valley, PA Photographer}

I have two jobs. One being my photography business, of course, and the other being my full-time job at Liberty Mountain Resort in Carroll Valley, PA. I've been the Event Coordinator & Marketing Assistant since October of 2008 and am currently working through my second ski season.

Ski season is tough. It's working six days a week, 60 hours a week, for four straight months. If the ski season and wedding season occurred at the same time, I'd probably go insane. Can you imagine shooting weddings almost every weekend, portrait sessions during the week AND working a second job six days a week? Your home computer would be your best friend (forget your spouse, family and friends) and sleep would be nearly non-existent. Thankfully, that's not my life.

My life in between editing images, chatting with clients, blogging, working on JFP marketing materials, etc. is working at Liberty, and of course hanging out with my husband. Since this past Saturday was filled with awesome photo opps at Liberty because of all the beautiful snow we received, I thought I'd share a little of my life in the in-between...
