My Nutty Schedule

This is crazy.

So as of this time last year, I did not yet have my wedding site. And I had maybe one wedding booked.

As of last night I booked my 25th wedding/event for 2012 and I had a meeting with a friend of mine who is getting engaged and planning for a potential wedding in SOUTH AFRICA (Cape Town) that I will hopefully get to be a part of.

It is crazy that almost half my year is pre-determined. Looks like I'll be maintaining Delta Diamond Status through 2014!

Fairytale Wedding

Sorry sorry. I know I am severely backlogged again. Sometimes this happens. I still have to post pics from Vegas and KatieHunt's Bday and Xmas Parties etc. (and I know I never did an official Katie & Semmeseys Wedding post or a Farshid's Wedding post or a Southern Decky 2010 post from last year, I still have a bunch of those pics in my - To Do Folder, someday maybe they'll get done) But being busy and backlogged is good. It means I am ever closer to buying my West Hollywood DreamPenthouse. I think it might happen this year. SuperYay.

Soooooo.... while I have these pics ready to go I might as well post them to keep you entertained. This past weekend I went upstate to Lenox, MA (really close to Deerfield) where my bride and groom Andrew and Nikki rented out a gorgeous mansion/estate and held a fabulous fairytale wedding.

Literally they looked like a prince and princess in a castle.



It was FREEZING, but beautiful and sunny out.

And in the late afternoon it started to snow, so I dragged the groomsmen outside and took some killer sunnysnow pics.




The boys were so cute and bromantic with each other!







The bride and bridesmaids too were very easy to photograph.

Every time I see this picture I think of the show "Pretty Little Liars" even though I've never seen it. It just looks like poster for some kind of TV series about bitchy hot chicks that do mean things to each other. Love it.



I love Christmas wedding!






The couple didn't want to see each other before the ceremony. So this is what we came up with, being VERY careful not to let either of them go around the corner.



Lovely tear-filled ceremony.





Happy glass-stomping.



Dinner was delicious and filled with wonderful funny speeches.




And the danceparty was off the hook.






The groom's sister brought down the house with an incredible performance of "At Last". It seriously may have been more powerful than when Beyonce sang it to the Obamas on Inauguration Night.



And then things got really silly.





The fun thing about continually raising my rates is that the weddings I end up shooting just get prettier and more expensive. And expensive weddings usually mean happier people. And all of this makes for better pictures. Win-win-win!
