Wow. I cannot believe how badly I have neglected my sweet little blog!!
Confession: I always add sneak peeks to albums on Facebook because it’s faster and easier. However, Facebook just takes away something from my images and I want my clients to look their absolute best! So, let’s get some of their gorgeous faces here on the blog, k? Ok!
Here are some of my favorites from the last month.








I will be adding more recent favorites in additional posts! Be sure to come back and look for them.
This week at Love That Shot, the theme is “Faces You Love” and the super gals at I Heart Faces are the guest judges! Woot!
The photo had to be taken during September or October and had to feature at least one face.
This is one of my most FAVORITE photos from the last two months. This is a photo of a bride and groom just at sunset on their wedding day (which was in September, by the way
). I love silhouette photos – especially with a gorgeous sky. To get this image, I exposed the photo for the sky. Then while processing, I burned the bride and groom a little and popped the colors in the sky just a bit.

When you have a minute, head on over to Love That Shot and check out all the greatness!
On September 18th, Andrea & Brent tied the knot. You might remember them from their engagement session over the summer. They had a beautiful wedding and a fabulous reception. They were surrounded by lots of their family and friends.
Andrea and Brent were a dream to work with. They chose to have a private “first look”, which ranks way up on my love the bride and groom scale! When doing a private first look, you have the opportunity to see each other for the first time privately (well, minus little ol’ Marinda haha) without a church full of people watching you. You also can then proceed with the family portraits before the ceremony. Because let’s face it… after the ceremony, your guests, bridal party and even you just want to get out of the church and on to the party/food!
So, I was beyond thrilled when Andrea and Brent said they wanted to do a private first look!
Ok, enough of my blabbing… here are just a handful of my favorites from their beautiful wedding day!



As you can see, they truly had a gorgeous day. I am so blessed to be able to document such an important day in the lives of two people.
Just a quick snap of the happy couple and myself, courtesy of a wedding guest (thanks Kelly!!). Note to self… have someone snap a photo at the beginning of the day when I don’t look so worn out! haha

Andrea and Brent, I wish you a long and happily ever after!
xoxo,
Marinda
