Rapp Wedding July 2015

Welcome 2017 a year of new beginnings.... 
 Every year I say that I am not going to allow myself to get behind, clearly this has not been happening. 2016 found me with out computer for several months when I accidentally left my charger at a hotel in North Carolina and then had some issues getting it returned to me. The returning of the charger did not happen and I had to give in and buy a new one. With my HP finally up and running I once again found myself playing catch up. However, that is no excuse as to why this wedding from July of 2015 never got posted... That I don't have an explanation for.

I know in certain cases it may be a little silly to post a session that is a year and a half old but I feel that all of my clients deserve to see their sessions posted on my blog. With it being near freezing temps in Broome County this time a year and no upcoming sessions I will be showcasing some older sessions that have not made it to the blog as of yet. So today I share with you my dear friend Kathleen's wedding!

While this couple is not celebrating a new beginning, they are still in their "Honeymoon" phase. I am proud to finally be posting their wedding photos! Kathleen and I have become good friends over the last few years that we have known each other, but that is not how things started out... I am going to be honest here... her first impression of me was not a good one and because of this we clashed several times. One day she was in need and I offered to help and I am glad that this day when  she needed help I was there to offer it, because everything changed on this day and we became close. So of course when she asked me to shoot her wedding I could not refuse, for I truly knew that that first impression of be had long since faded away.

I present to you the wonderful Mr. & Mrs. Rapp


  Kathleen had these great shirts made up for the bridal party to wear at rehearsal. I even had one, I will share that image later on!


 The bridesmaids and groomsman's gifts.



 Getting ready!

 The girls dresses.

The guys shoes.

 Let's get started!







 Love the expressions on the bridal party during the ceremony.




Husband & Wife

The Bride & Groom Formals
I love capturing images like this one, when they couple is being silly and themselves. It helps really show how the couple is with eachother. The image above also showcases this. 




Next I'm gong to share several collages. When there are a several photos of a section of a wedding that I want to share I like to put them in a collage. I chose to share these images in this way because it helps the viewer see them as a whole, it cuts down on the size of the post making it easier for the viewer to scroll back and forth in the post, and I like how nice they look in the collages.

These umbrellas were passed out to the guest during the ceremony to them cool in the sun.

How adorable are these two?

 Some of the pretty details of the wedding.

The Cutting of the Cake.

As I believe I said earlier in the post, a shirt was also made for me for the rehearsal dinner. My husband came along to help me out and so he also had a shirt. I wanted to share our shirts, but I did not want to take away from the great shots of the Rapp wedding.
So here are my husband and I, well the backside of us anyway, showing off the awesome shirts that Kathleen had made for us!


Many, many thanks to the Rapps and their great family for allowing me to be part of their special day. I hope these images bring great memories for years to come.

2015 Holiday Sessionswith Christmas Backgrounds

Last year I had surgery and was limited to the shoots that I could do and how far I could venture for these shoots. With this in mind I chose to just do a few sessions for repeat customers and close family and friends at my home. I only offered 1 date for these sessions, where in the past I have offered several dates, where as this year I have offered 3.
 I found that the idea of reviewing the images and allowing them to choose their favorites to burn to a copyrighted CD for them was the best way to go! I am offering this same option this year. The clients who book one of these sessions this year also have the option of 3 different dates and locations. 
 I did my youngest sister's photos a week after my surgery at her home, this is a session that I shared at the end of 2015 and you can find the link here. Below you will find some of the more Christmas/winter themed backdrops that I used for these sessions. I am also going to share the more traditional images as well in a separate, but wanted to make sure to share all of them!











The next post I am will be sharing these same faces but in non Christmas themed backgrounds. 

This years sessions will offer both Christmas themes and non Christmas themed backgroungs

Samantha & Eli- Pie Day Wedding 3/14/15

My Beautiful baby sister got married!! While I was not the photographer at this wedding I did get a few shots in, as every sister who is a photographer would do at her sisters wedding. The photographer of this wedding was my dear friend Bethanie. You can find her on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/bethanie.fiori.photography/ and at her blog here http://bethaniefioriphotography.blogspot.com/

 The signs the Ring Bearers will carry

 Brides Maids and Flower Girl dresses and shoes

 The Bride relaxing before the Limos arrive to head to the Church.
Love the Something Blue Shoes!

 Flower Girl watching for the Limos to arrive

 An idea found on Pinterest... The Flower Girl in the Brides shoes

 No matter how Grown up we may be there is always room for silliness with our friends!
 Contemplating the start of her new life... or just watching for the Limos too... We may never know

 Taking a moment to create a memory with her Flower Girl. Aunt and Niece 

 When the Bride is hungry and it's still hours until the Reception. She settles for some McDonalds

 Another Pinterest idea. A girls first love- her Best Friend



After the Ceremony and Formal pictures and before the Reception started we went out to set off these lanterns in honor of our Mother who could not be with us on this special occasion. We lost the greatest person in our lives, the one that gave us life in June of 2014. We wanted a special way to honor her on this day and decided on the lanterns! 
Love the image of my little girl chases after her lantern before it was too high for her to follow!
Love you forever and always. You are never truly gone as you will live forever in our hearts! Love and miss you lots, Momma!!

Before the night was over the Bride and Groom took a moment to dance with 1 of their Nephews and their Niece

The love these two have for eachother is amazing. I could not picture my sister with a better person. They truly have found their sole mates!
