My Passion

As a young girl I dreamed of being on Broadway.

I planned to move to New York with a girlfriend in my early 20's.

{I got a communications degree and became a high school English teacher instead.}

I met an amazing stage director and musician and fell head over heels.

He asked me to marry him on our second date. I was 26.

We had beautiful babies. Lots and lots of beautiful babies.

My girlfriend asked me, "What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?"

Capture beauty through my lens.

Life is precious. I'm only guarenteed this moment. And I'd rather fail at something I LOVE than succeed at something I could take or leave. Life in a nutshell.

I know who I am. I know whose I am. And His plans for me are far greater than I could ask or imagine.

I. love. life.

Ceresville Mansion. Courtney + Craig

10.10.09 at 10:16am Posted in Weddings

Ceremony: Ceresville Mansion Terrace

Reception: Ceresville Mansion Ballroom

Floral Decor: The Cutting Garden

Videography: Blue Sky Films

It’s the way they play video games together, laughing and jeering.

It’s the way they snuggle on the couch kissing each other with their pooch right beside them.

It’s the way he is her protector and champion every day in every way.

I saw it so clearly at their ”get-to-know-you” shoot in BelAir.

And I saw it all day long at their Ceresville Mansion wedding.

Courtney is a gal who knows what she wants. And she wanted Craig all the way back in high school.

She got her man.

They are so crazy in love that each is free to be . . . well, exactly who they want to be.

Now, that’s a gift.

I loved the way Court let herself feel every ounce of the anticipation. She didn’t want to see Craig before the ceremony and he was right across the hall getting ready!!

It was exciting and emotional and all good things in between.
