Here at TNP, we LOVE us some Kim & Conrad and I have eagerly been awaiting their wedding day for the last 6 months!  When Kim bought her dress, she texted me a picture and I squealed with delight – “GORGEOUS!” I replied.

And then she emailed me pictures of her jewelry, her hair piece….she asked my opinion on the centerpieces and… well, I’m not sure why she was asking me what *I* thought because Kim has EXQUISITE taste and it totally showed on the day of her wedding!

Kim is sweet, modest, and unassuming with an air of grace and a gentle spirit.  Conrad is funny, arrestingly charming, and he has a fantastic middle name. And dimples (Which his buddies ribbed him about on several occasions throughout the day) And the two of them make a perfect pair.

Oh! After a few emails from brides in the planning stages, I’ve decided to start posting links and info to vendors and resources that my current brides are using, so here’s some of the details from Kim & Conrad’s wedding:

While I was at the salon with the girls, Casey was at the hotel with the guys….

Kim & Conrad opted to do a First Look – our favorite type of reveal!

Casey grabbed this one of all the little people waiting for their cue.

I thought this part of the ceremony was super cool.  Instead of the traditional unity candle or container of sand, Kim & Conrad had these interlocking pieces of a cross that they joined together – I’ve never seen that done.

My fav.

On to the reception!

Loved, LOVED these dramatic centerpieces.

Toasts!

The picture below was an accident, but I thought it was fun.

Don’t forget to leave the newlyweds some blog love!

ALSO, STAY TUNED TOMORROW FOR OUR PHOTOGRAPHY 101 CLASS ANNOUNCEMENT & REGISTRATION!!

“What did the fish say when it swam into the wall?”

“dam”

This was the “P.S.” at the end of Lindsey’s email after we first met and it made me laugh out loud and that moment I knew I was destined to be her photographer on her wedding day.  I guess she knew too because at the end of her email she said “we pick you!”  and I smiled as I typed back my response and quizzed her sitcom tv knowledge with a PS of my own.

I {heart} Lindsey & Jess.

Their wedding was the most relaxed, chilled, & personalized that we’ve ever been to.  Lindsey was a dream bride – an easy smile, ready to have fun and enjoy every minute of her day.  Even a debacle with the flower arrangements on the morning of the big day she handled with humor and grace (and some mad bow-dismantling skills).  Jess was calm and quiet, and enthralled with his bride.  It was a beautiful wedding and I’m sure will be a beautiful marriage.

Congratulations you guys! Enjoy your Sneak Peek!

Personal details make a wedding so special.  I loved that Lindsey tied her grandmother’s rings on her bouquet.

Their wedding was simple, elegant, and intimate, and took place in the same church where Jess’ parents and grandparents were married.

Jess’s grandmother (?) lived less than a mile from the reception site, so we made a quick stop there before the reception to take some photos.

It was quite obvious when we arrived at the reception that Lindsey had put a LOT of thought into the decor.  Her pink & green theme was pulled together so flawlessly and each detail was obviously thought out and planned for beautifully.

Don’t forget to leave some love & well-wishes for the newlyweds!

2 weekends ago, we had the privilege of photographing Katherine & Lewis’ beautiful Albany wedding.  I met K&L about 6 months ago and have since come to really enjoy all the times that I get to spend with them.  They’re such a sweet couple – very laid back and comfortable with themselves and each other, their relationship is easy, fun, and full of laughter.   It was great to see them sit back , relax and just enjoy their wedding day with their families and friends.

Katherine & Lewis – thank you for asking us to be a part of your day.  Enjoy your Sneak Peek!

Katherine. Is. Gorgeous.

End of story.

These next 2 pictures make me LOL everytime I see them.  I told the guys I wanted them to strike a pose and THIS is what they came up with.  Guy On the End, Stage Left BUSTS ME UP (I think his name was Casey, but I’m not sure) -  I have no idea what he was doing, but he was a LOT of fun! 

Katherine and Lewis opted to do a First Look – where they see each other before the wedding.  We LOVE First Looks!

This is one of my favorites.

These two were so stinking cute, my face almost melted from adorable overload.

This little princess cracked me up.  I think she was caught off guard by how adorable she was because she kept sneaking looks at herself in the mirror and twirling around.

These two images were taken 3 seconds apart.  At first, he was giving me the Cheesy Gradeschooler Grin (not pictured) so I started talking to him to loosen him up (left picture).  The picture on the right is the face he gave me when I asked him, “you married?”

Casey and I were having some indecisive moments about the ring shot.  Which one do you like best?

If you were there or in the wedding, don’t forget to join our Facebook Page so you can tag yourself in the photos when we post them!

Don’t forget to leave the newlyweds some comment love!

So please hang in there just a little bit longer and we’ll be setting up appointments and bridal consults and sessions in no time at all!
