Snapshots

It’s finally finished!  Our Best Of series has grown by one this week.  2006′s album is heading to production and I hope to have it in time for our January bridal shows.

What’s this?, you ask….

Each year Paul and I pick out our top wedding photos from each wedding and put everything together in an album.  It’s kind of like our own little wedding album only it covers each couple, ceremony, and reception from the year’s weddings.  Usually there’s a lot of arguing, bargaining, and trading to narrow down the choices.  That’s quite a feat considering that in 2006 we took over 57,000 photos for 39 weddings.  That’s not even counting those other projects like engagement shoots, bridal sessions, and Splash the Dress field trips.

Some of the images stand on their own like Image #33 or #241, some have an underlying story that may only be apparent to those who were at the wedding like the deluge of rain that fell all night for the bride in image #201, some have the story evolve over several images like the laughing cigar smoker in Images #248 & #249, and some are just those spectacular shots where everything felt right and we couldn’t wait to get home to see the photo on the big screen like Image #24 and #189.

So here they are, 262 of our personal favorites from 2006.

And we can’t wait to get started on 2007′s….

Paul just finished a double wedding weekend.  Melissa & Kevin on Friday and Kari & Bobby on Saturday.  Paul’s hard at work finishing the images up so that both couples can see photos when they return from their honeymoons.

Kari & Bobby’s wedding reception was at the historic Summit Inn located in the Laurel Highlands.  The inn was beautiful and I’m glad we decided to stay overnight.  There was a huge fireplace in the lobby and guests were able to warm up after dodging through the pelting rain.  It’s said that rain on your wedding day brings good luck.  If that’s the case then this couple will win the lottery in about a week! 

Here’s a photo from Sunday morning.  The inn has this beautiful car parked out front as a tribute to its origins on the National Road.

I love this photo of Nadia.  It’s right before the start of the ceremony, she’s just about to walk down the aisle and you can just feel her anticipation…
