Wedding: Lara and Chip

For the most part, I think people know that the other half of The Locket, Sarah, got married last weekend and moved to Georgia! Holy cats, right!?! As scary as this is for me, I can't help but think I put the nails in my own coffin! When we were shooting a wedding last year I introduced Sarah to her now husband, Brent. Yikes! Brent was one of my high school classmates attending Lacey and James' wedding. Talk about my two worlds colliding! My high school classmate marrying my business partner and originally one of my high school art students! For real though - she married a wonderfully respectful and kind man - I just wish he hadn't taken her away from me!!! "Can someone please get me a tissue?" Just kidding, but with that being said, we are going to give it our best stab to book as many destination weddings as possible. We are so looking forward to shooting two weddings together we've booked in Hawaii and Rome in 2010. So, if anyone knows of friends/family having destination weddings, please send them our information! If anyone knows information or resources to help direct/guide people to our site as destination photographers, please contact us and let us know. I think after the hype of Sarah's wedding dies down, we'll create a completely different site that specifically features our work from and for destination weddings. Oh, I can't wait!!!




Miss Lara was one of the most gorgeous brides I've worked with! She was so stunning I decided to make a mini gallery of just Lara! Love this set!!!







Lara and Chip kept the tradition of not seeing each other before the ceremony so that first glimpse of each other was especially awesome! If you remember Lara and Chip's engagement session, these two are crazy tall and made an impressive statement as a bride and groom. I loved Lara's mother's sweet hat! Not everyone could pull that off as beautifully as she did!










Lara and Chip were married at Schwab Barns outside of Solon and the facility was nothing less than breath taking!!! Brides, I've heard the owner only allows a few weddings a year, but this round barn and the outside facilities were unbelievably gorgeous! As Lara's father explained in his speech that night, the day felt like a dream!
