Autumn Engagement Portraits: Josh + Amanda | Erie Engagement + Wedding Photographers

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Earlier this week we met up with Amanda and Josh on a perfect fall day for their engagement session. The colors were so amazing I found it difficult changing some of the images to black and white! Amanda and Josh have our highly coveted Labor Day weekend wedding. I have never had so many requests for one single date in my career so far. I’m so glad they booked us early — they are a great couple and I know we are going to have so much fun at their wedding!

First Wedding Album Arrived!

Friday, October 9th, 2009

I was so excited when the FedEx guy showed up this morning — I knew my very first wedding album I’ve ever done was coming in today. I had seen this style of album several times in the past couple of years and was always wowed by them, so I knew once I decided to offer albums I was going to carry this product. It was like opening up a Christmas present — I was excited to see this beautiful product with OUR work, OUR clients in it!

Its a gorgeous, well put together album that I am proud to offer my clients. Here are a couple of photographs of the book all wrapped up in its ‘green’ packaging – recycled pineapple leaf handmade paper with a handmade paper ribbon from recycled mulberry leaves. It is beautiful, don’t you think? I’m so excited to receive this year’s wedding albums!

Autumn Engagement Portraits: Amy + Mike | Erie Engagement + Wedding Photographer

Monday, October 5th, 2009

On Friday Murl and I squeezed in some engagement portrait fun with Mike and Amy. We were so fortunate that the rain stopped falling minutes before they arrived for their shoot. We headed out to Quincy Cellars in Ripley in hopes of shooting in their gorgeous remodeled barn. [We are still waiting to shoot a wedding there, I hope it happens soon!] Unfortunately they were closed BUT they have a massive weeping willow tree out front by their pond so we put that to use! Lucky for us Amy has been keeping up on her America’s Next Top Model and we didn’t need to worry about posing her :) Seriously, how cute are these two?!

Next stop was to Paschke’s mum farm where we found some pumpkins and hay to play on as well.

 We ended the night at a beautiful lookout on Lake Erie where Mike had proposed to Amy in the spring. The vineyards are just so gorgeous in the fall! And with the moody skies, it turned out to be a gorgeous night for their session after all! As always check the facebook page for more images from their session, they will be up shortly!
