Twilight inspired shoot… Austin as Edward

Its rare that I actually have the time to do a personal shoot just for fun, but this weekend Austin and I took the time to put together a Twilight inspired shoot. Our wedding season for this year is just about to kick off, so we wanted to do something creative before we get bogged down with lots of work.

So, I am late to the game on the whole Twilight thing/obsession. I really thought that it was just some vampire movie that teenage girls loved. Well, I was wrong. It’s about love, and passion. We all know that I am a sucker for a love story, which is why I love shooting weddings so much. Anyways, I am officially on the Twilight bandwagon. Recently, Austin has had a lot of people say “hey, you look like that guy from Twilight”…. of course this got my wheels turning and I thought… this would be so much fun to actually do a twilight-ish shoot with Austin being that everyone thinks he looks like the main character. I am very fortunate that my husband goes along with all my crazy ideas.

So, first I will show you my inspiration for the shoot….(just a screen capture from the movie)

And now… here is what we came up with…. Enjoy!

Home Sweet Home

Austin and I have arrived safely home after our short vacation to Jamaica. The only thing I would have done differently if I were to replan the trip would have been to stay longer! We really didn’t get to do everything we wanted to while we were in that gorgeous island. I can’t say enough good things about our trip, and I can’t wait to head back. Austin and I climbed Dunn’s River Falls, and we also went up to Mystic Mountain where we rode the skylift, bobsled, and traversed down the ziplines. I only have a handful of photos from my camera, because it was too risky taking it out near the water. I did buy an underwater camera that I will be getting developed this week, so hopefully I got some good snorkeling pics with that. It could not be one of my vacations without something going wrong, so of course my website had to go down while I was away. I am actively working on getting it back up, and I’m crossing my fingers that I should be back up and running by this evening. In the meantime, here are some pics I took on our last day in Jamaica….

Haley’s Batmitzvah – Bala Cynwood, PA

Yesterday, I took a hop over the bridge to second shoot for Michael Leslie at Haley’s Batmitzvah. All I can say about this event is… wow! The decor was amazing, Haley and her sisters looked beautiful, and everyone there had an awesome time.

Did I mention the decor?… The table numbers were shortbread cookies..yum

This little one almost found her table number to be too exciting to resist… so cute..
