I know I'm behind on blogging, but I just had to get this one up....

What a pleasure this couple was.   I can honestly say that they are one of the kindest, most genuine couples that I have ever photographed.   Easy going, organized and as you will see....gorgeous!   Sam & Colleen decided to keep their day small and intimate, and it was just perfect.    I arrived at St. Peter Lutheran Church on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon.   Finally a gorgeous day on a weekend!   I walked in to meet Colleen and her family (who were just as kind as Colleen).   Colleen was stunning.  Absolutely gorgeous.   I know which celebrity she looks like...do you see it?     After a lovely ceremony and some family photos at the church, we were headed off to Congress Park in Saratoga for some shots at the carousel.   Awesome!   Although finding parking during a busy concert weekend was a little tricky, we managed to get it done.    It was then time to send the remaining family on their way to the reception so I could sneak the newlyweds off on their own for a few shots around the park.   I love it when a couple not only looks amazing, but you can instantly feel the good vibes coming from them.   Joy, happiness and love.   They made each other laugh.   And not because I was doing or saying something goofy to try to make them laugh.   I didn't need to.   It's just there.   And then it was time for us to part and send them on their way to their reception.   To Colleen & Sam - I hope you had a wonderful reception & honeymoon, but mostly I hope you have a wonderful lifetime of memories!!   Congratulations!    

                                                I told you she was stunning!

 This is one of my favorites from the day - obviously since it's on my Facebook page too!
