PS: Autumn & Jeff

So my New Year's Eve was pretty rockin'! I had the wonderful pleasure of capturing the wedding of Autumn & Jeff, and man was it a gorgeous wedding, gorgeous reception and of course, gorgeous people! Quick refresher... E-session can be seen right here, taken back in September. Autumn was the amazing hair dresser for two other beautiful PS: Brides, Mrs. Jessica Garcia and Mrs. Alissa Yang (and she did a wonderful job on them by the way). Fast forward to New Year's Eve, 2007...

The church was beautiful, St. Mark Presbyterian Church in Newport, brand new and was just perfect! The grounds were ridiculous (in a good way of course!), I really could have spent a ton of time there with the bridal party and the newly weds, so many great places! This is one of the first shot's I grabbed when I arrived at the church, absolutely phenomenal!


And if that wasn't enough, the reception was at the legendary Turnip Rose, where I had the amazing opportunity to work with Chrissy and the rest of the awesome staff at Turnip Rose! This is another shot I grabbed when I first arrived at the Turnip Rose for some prep. The grounds, details, people, everything were spectacular at Turnip Rose and I couldn't have asked for a better venue (well done Autumn & Jeff, well done indeed!)


Here's a pic of the fabulous Chrissy and Mr. & Mrs. Jeff & Autumn Pratt...


To top it off, my friend and amazing photographer Sandra Salisbury of Sandra Salisbury Photography came along to help out, be sure to check out her blog for her pics! And we ran into some friends from too, the Pankow's (who's family shoot you can see on this here blog) and the Michael's. It was a great way to ring in the new year!!
I don't know why I look like I'm about the get clocked, seems to be my reaction to a camera when I'm on the other side...






To Autumn & Jeff, thank you so much for such a wonderful event, it was all perfect!! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and getting to know you! You guys are amazing, you've got the model look down perfect, the patented "smile" and you are both just so much fun to be around! Your smiles and laugh are infectious and the love you two have for each other is phenomenal! Seriously, it was an honor and a pleasure!

And now my favorites, this was a tough choice, but the runners up are...


Seriously, amazing...


Love just the feel of it...


Of course, my shot...


Hello romance, grrr!


But the winner is...

I really love this one... you can just tell they are so into each other's moment right then and there, the lighting, the romance... simply beautiful! That's my fave, what are yours?

PS: Autumn & Jeff's engagement session

"You get used to it..." This was Jeff telling Autumn not to sweat the camera, you get used to it after a while, that's just life when you're a high roller.

Needless to say, I was so thankful that I was able to take the engagement pictures of Autumn & Jeff on Sunday. Autumn was actually responsible for the beautiful hair of two previous PS: Beauties, Jessica & Alissa! These two are so hilarious, I had such a good time shooting with them, listening to their stories and losing my footing!

Side note: Friends, mud may look friendly and inviting, but your shoes and mud don't play well together... I took a nice fall into some mud and water at the Arboretum when my shoes decided they didn't like what mud said. A little fall though was well worth it!

I am so excited for New Year's, this is going to be an amazing wedding, with extraordinary people and amazing hair! Autumn and Jeff, thanks for being so great and so easy to shoot, seriously, you guys have done this modeling thing before! I hope you enjoy the pictures!

So close to my favorite, I did a small tweak on the color here, but I love the look of it!


Seriously, you guys aren't models...?


Love it!!


Naturals...


Jeff's Abercrombie pose


As I took this shot, I was saying, "give me saucy, try saying I love you with your eyes"...


This was the result, and I love it!!




This is my favorite of the day, I just love the emotion, the joy, the laughter and the love in this image!


This leaf was on the ground, shaped like a heart, just like the bracelet and necklace Jeff bought for Autumn...


A close second to favorite, seriously, these two are good!















I love this picture, the couple, the tree, the flare, the sun beams...


Thanks again to Autumn and Jeff, you were both amazing and I had so much fun!! December will be amazing!!
