Meadows Moments http://meadowsmoments.com/blog Stacy Meadows Photography Blog Mon, 26 Mar 2012 03:27:24 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Taking the Leap on Leap Day! http://meadowsmoments.com/blog/?p=1581 http://meadowsmoments.com/blog/?p=1581#comments Mon, 26 Mar 2012 02:07:18 +0000 admin http://meadowsmoments.com/blog/?p=1581 I was very excited to photograph Laura and John’s intimate wedding on the Eastern Shore on Leap Day. John and Laura’s ceremony included Wiccan Handfasting where their hands were tied together as they answered questions about their intentions for their life together. After the handfasting they placed their roping with knots intact on a piece of wood that had been burnished with significant symbols and their wedding date. The total in attendance were 6 people including me. It rained most of the day for this outdoor waterfront park wedding but both Laura and John were troopers and we grabbed some fun boots and cute panda umbrellas and made the best of it. The rain actually stopped during the ceremony and the sun started to peak through the clouds! We substituted an engagement session with signature book for a coffee table style album. Laura and John decided to infuse their favorite movie quotes and I love how the book turned out! I can’t wait to see it in person.

We used the photos of the boys playing at the park on the beach to create a fun coffee table style book that Mom had printed for all of the Grandparents. It is the second book I’ve created for this family and Mom said the albums were a huge hit again this year! I think those are some lucky Grandparents!

I loved everything that they wore and I swore that Mom had help from a stylist! These sweet sisters reminded me so much my sister and I when we were little. I was the blue girl and my sister was the pink girl! We met at the park at sunset for a quick session that resulted in fantastic family photos.

Included in their package was either rehersal dinner coverage or a morning after session. I was excited that Bethany and Todd chose to photograph their rehersal dinner at the beautiful Costa Ventosa Vinyard in Whaleyville, MD just outside of Ocean City. Come back to the blog tomorrow as I am posting my favorites from their wedding day! Can’t wait until tomorrow? Check out their wedding day photos on my wedding page.

Jen and Brent were a great couple and real troopers since the weather wasn’t so pleasant- the best part about the bad weather was that Jen brought her Wellies!!! Jen’s dress is from Anthropology and her hair and make-up were done by the fabulous Amie Decker.  If you are just beginning your planning and you are looking for a photographer I am still booking weddings for both 2012 and 2013 and CONGRATS!!

The expo is small with only 20 vendors and is sponsored by Maher’s Florist in Pasadena. I’m excited to begin booking more weddings and networking with nearby vendors like Maher’s.  The expo is from 11 am – 5 pm and there will be a grooms lounge so bring those fiance’s! I had the boys working hard today making small gifts for those who visit my booth and sign up for my e-mail list. Please feel free to stop by and visit my booth for a chance to win a free engagement session as well.  For ticket information  and details visit Here Comes the Bride and Groom Wedding Expo at http://weddingexposhow.com/

I also wanted to share with you a wedding model shoot I did at Downs Park.  The model’s hair and makeup was done by Amie Decker and I love the black accessories for winter… it paired really well with her black dress coat which was wonderful for our model since it was freezing out!
