It’s pretty strange to start work at 2:00pm on a Saturday. Kinda threw me off a little. But when I reminded myself how laid-back Ann and Matt are, and that if I wasn’t careful I would end up being the high-maintenance one, I was fine.

No bridal party… one location… what was I to do with myself?!? Plenty, as it turns out! The Fowler House is a spectacular venue, as I learned at Holly and Jon’s wedding in August. It’s not about what you include but what you leave out… I could shoot for days in there. Ann and Matt were very accommodating, I felt as though they were simply humoring my little artsy-fartsy indulgences half the time! Thank you!

The day remained beautiful, and warm, and I enjoyed it thoroughly from beginning to finish. Tory did a remarkable job from behind the second camera, my friend Christopher did a great job with entertainment, and the cake was DELICIOUS! I must’ve had three pieces. Oops.

Here are my favorites for now, check back in Friday for their personalized website!

UPDATE: Mitzi and Ron’s personal website is up. See more favorites, their Signature Edition Print, and click the “Purchase Images” link to see the Engagement Session images and register to see all of the photos when they go online. You’ll also be notified as soon as the album design is available to view.

The combination of Mitzi and Ron’s families mingling together in one house was powerful. Last Saturday there was way too much food for the kitchen, and the aromas filled the house. Way too many people for the space, and the hum of conversation and laughter was constant. No matter where you went you could not escape the sense of family, family, family. I have been a fan of the backyard weddings since the very first wedding I shot years ago, and after last weekend I am an even bigger fan.

Stay tuned to this post as the weeks go by. We will have a personalized web page up with a slideshow on Friday, followed by an album design 10 days after that.
