I'm so pleased to announce that I have picked a winner for the wedding photography contest!  Britt + Mike with their LA wedding!  This whole process has been fun for me, getting to know these couples through their entries and mood boards.  The final decision was tough as I was falling in love with each one, but I picked one true to the contest parameters for sure!  Now, for some yummy details!

Britt works on the show "Psych" and Mike is a Special Ed Math teacher at inner city schools.  Both have a passion for what they do and have infused their passion for life into their wedding plans.  They are getting married at a great indoor/outddor venue Box Eight Studios in LA.  One of the things that struck me about this venue, besides the cool factor, is that it's owned and operated by a collective of artists and the rental money goes to funding their artistic endeavors!  For other wedding details - think mismatched bridesmaid dresses & groomsmen attire, lanterns, mason jars, Kogi BBQ truck, homemade beer, electric guitar, etc....  I know I'm pumped!  Can't wait for your wedding next year Britt & Mike!  Oh, and check out Britt's own bridal blog The Bowie Bride!

Here is a pic Britt sent me of her and Mike!

Alyson + Shane had a wonderfully intimate ceremony at the Joseph Ambler Inn this summer.  You may remember them from their Italian Market e session.  Much like myself and Zach, these two have been together for forever!  Though it seems like they can't remember what life was like before they met, there was absolutely no shortage of love and emotion.  Shane teared up a bit during the ceremony and Alyson made it all the way till the best man speech before cracking a tear, but it was definitely there!  It was a beautiful day with some beautiful images!

             

When not shooting a wedding of my own, I've been quite busy second shooting this season with some fellow friends and colleagues.  I've been able to tag along on a bunch of Ryan Estes's weddings this summer and we have a few more this fall I'll be working on for him.  Here are a few of my favorites from Jennifer and Ryan's wedding!  They actually had a Mister Softee ice cream truck come out for all their guests!
