This was such a great wedding! The bride, Marylou, happens to be an old friend of mine. I had the pleasure of meeting her groom, Jim, the night before the wedding. He’s a great guy! I love doing weddings at the Fine Arts Center — the architecture is amazing, and of course being surrounded by beautiful art doesn’t hurt! Marylou and Jim celebrated their union with a wonderful, meaningful ceremony and a VERY fun party. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Congratulations guys, I’m so glad I got to be a small part of your big day!

The jewelry, and a vintage blue embroidered clutch borrowed from Marylou’s mom.

The family dachshund, Joey. He’s toothless and a perfect gentleman. It took all of my self-control not to kidnap Joey and take him home with me ;o)




The ceremony begins as Marylou’s nephew Logan escorts her down the stairs and up the aisle.

We were lucky to get a few minutes in the Fine Arts Center’s theatre. This shot was lit with one flash and a video light.

Their winter-themed cake was fabulous by day…

and by night.




What a cute little family they make!




Killer party!
