Fun bridal party photos for a UVA wedding

admin — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:19:52 +0000

I wanted to do a best of my 2011 weddings on one post but there are too many I liked so I decided to do it by theme.
Some of my favorites from Laura and Jim who got married at the UVA Chapel.

To this day, it is one of my favorite photo, the ladies singing “going to the chapel…”

I cannot believe that you guys will celebrate your one year anniversary in about a month!

Leora and David needed some portraits done and I was so happy to meet by Montfair resort Farms last week on a chilly morning.

Discovering the Blenheim wines

This past Sunday my husband Nick and cville uncorked blogger went to Blenheim vineyards to taste some of their wines(not yet bottled). Nick and his partner Justin Billcheck have started to put together the Blue Ridge Oyster Festival which will take place on April 21st (so mark your calendars) and some of the Blenheim wines will be featured at the event.
Blenheim wines are my kind of wines! Kirsty, the wine maker was trained in California and France and you can definitely appreciate the French influence. Her wines are well-balanced and not over powering. We tried the Chardonnay (25% aged in American, Hungarian, and French barrels for 5 months), White Table Wine 2011 (2/3 Viognier, 1/3 Chardonnay – all stainless steel), which is perfect for a picnic or a summer lunch. It has a bouquet that reminds you of summer…really! and The Rosé 2011 (All stainless steel. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Mourvedre), again a perfect bottle to open for apéritif or a light lunch or supper.
Blenheim is a gorgeous venue! They also offer drinks and food that are kid friendly.

Awesome legs!

I just love that shot. It makes me think of the beach and it is our Virginia backyard.

craving pasta

I love taking pictures of food but it is always easy while making dinner for my family. As a side note, I love that my little chef decided to be a vegetarian and he is actually eating all his veggies. This kid has an amazing palate!

Bon appetit!

Such an honor to be featured on the Charlottesville Wedding Blog

Bridal portrait in Richmond

I was in the process of selecting my favorites photos of 2011 and I just found Meghan’s bridal portraits that I never posted. SO here they are. Ladies, look at those shoes!

I think it is the one that made the paper.

I love all the colors in that photo.

Have you been to L’etoile lately?

I love delicious food and I love when it looks pretty! I guess this passion started when I was a little girl and I was watching my grandfather, who was a chef cooking in his kitchen.
Thank you Mark from L’Etoile. Bon appetit!

Philadelpia:City of brotherly love

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:05:10 +0000

Philadelphia has a special place in my heart as it was the first place I lived when I moved to the US twenty years ago. My youngest son had been wanting to go see the Liberty Bell for the longest time so over the Christmas break we decided to go for a few days. It is always fun to play tourist in a city where we used to live.

Thankful and honored to be getting another award from Weddingwire.

Thank you to all the wonderful brides I photographed in 2011 for allowing me to get this Bride’s choice award. I am looking forward to an amazing 2012!
