Chris & Melanie’s Wedding :)

isabelsamphotography — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 01:02:21 +0000

Sometimes it’s painful getting those beautiful diamond earrings your fiance buys for you for your wedding day in your ear

I kind of sort of helped a bit with the flowers…so I had to get a good shot

I love the smiles of happy people just before they get married!!!!

I don’t know what happened, but I had a lot of ring shots from their wedding!! Here’s one

They had many talented friends helping with the wedding. Can you guess what this one was doing?

Kiss your bride!

Ahhhh YESSSSSSSSSS

This is about as normal as I get with my photography I like all these smiling faces. I just do

So, they had a super laid back reception. Probably the most super of the laid backs I’ve seen! They didn’t even have dancing….so I made them do their first dance for me

It was beautiful Even with out music

Toasts!!!!!

Hello July 2010 couple! I can’t wait!

Look at the surprise the groomsmen came up with….

Yep, they attached it to the getaway car. I had to get a picture. I just had to! They were all so proud of their work!

Their reaction to the “for sale” sign

And some of the last ones left at the end of the evening. I love the ones who stay to the end!!!!

Chris and Melanie had a super sweet and super intimate ceremony at the Wiedemann Hill Mansion in Newport, KY. I had never shot there before and I was pretty impressed with their service! Everyone was super nice and helpful!!! I love nice people!!!!

Their ceremoney was so very short, sweet, and simple – it just couldn’t have been better! They put their friends to work helping them with the whole thing – and let me tell you these friends were awesome help! They toasted them wonderfully, were super happy, and I don’t think anyone could have done a better job!

The whole day was beautiful and perfect! Which is exactly what they deserved

Congratulations Melanie and Chris! Your images are done and I can’t wait to show them to you!!!!!!!!!

A preview of some kiddos….

Renata & Matt Part Two!

isabelsamphotography — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 21:33:09 +0000

And here we go…on to part two of the happy wedding day

We were on some crunch time to get their portraits done….

…but I still think they are beautious!

I seriously have the best clients ever! I think this year we have been included in almost every single one of their seating charts. It makes me feel so loved

This basically sums up how the intro’s went I love fun people!!!!!

I can’t forget Matt and Reni

A little moment I saw during the toasts

Their first dance was so wonderfully choreographed. Actually, everything was so well put together! From the colors, the lighting, the cake, and the dances – it was all Perfecto! Reni is so gifted!

They played a little game psyching out their friends Renata is throwing a napkin here instead of the throw bouquet

Matt totally had to do it too!

BUT, then he played nice and threw the garter.

And now the Happy Booth. I don’t even know what to say about this.

They were my last trial run. I really thought I had it all down.

But their acrobatics were too huge and dangerous for the normal set up.

So, I’ve changed my set up so I am ready for anything! I LOVE Happy People!!!!!!!!

Wow! I loved photographing these two! Matt has seriously some GREAT brothers!!! I Loved spending the day with them! Can I photo their weddings too?????? And Reni, my goodness she is a sweetie!!! Not only is this girl an awesome engineer that has not only one, but two, engineering degrees from the University of Illinois – she also planned this whole wedding while finishing her thesis! (Trust me, I more than know how hard that is!)

Anyway, thank you guys for inviting us along for your SUPER day, playing games with us while we photoed you, and just overall being super wonderful! It was such a Pleasure!!!!!

We wish you the most bestest marriage EVEEERRRR!!!!

P.S. I got this wonderful little note in the mail today and I thought I would share

“Dear Isabel and Bernardo,

We cannot begin to thank you for your awesomeness, thank you for helping us through out our day and for being happy and patient. Your work is truly beautiful. Please keep in touch =)”
