Dalton & John at Gastonia Country Club
On February 27 I had the opportunity to shoot with Lacey Gadwill again! I assisted her for Dalton & John's wedding ceremony at First Presbyterian in Gastonia, NC followed by a beautiful reception at the Gastonia Country Club. It was pulled off without a hitch by Heather Bryson of Carolina Wedding Design! It doesn't get any sparklier than this!! →
Childish.
Why do I love kids? Their innocence. They are willing to explore despite formalwear. They unabashedly admit dependence upon those who love them. They run And hope To fly. I love them because they are childish! And perhaps we all should be, sometimes. <3 Liesl
Levi & Co
Congratulations to the Horn Family! My sweet sister Cara made another baby! Levi Horn September 14, 2009 7 lbs 4 oz. 20 in. With daddy's long toes Mama's big eyes.

Alex & Glen Get Ready to Roll!
Alexandra has some relaxing chat time with her girls before donning her gorgeous wedding gown. Her expressions are so adorable. My favorite thing about Alexandra?

Yeah, she took this shot herself :) Glen helps his father achieve perfection Beautiful detail shot of The Rancho Sol Del Pacifico More previews to follow soon! →

An Exotic Affair
I think I've mentioned before that I like color? Culture? Love? Well take all of those things, mix them together, add one Liesl for a day and I'm in heaven! The family heirloom necklace. This woman was trained in the art of pinning Saris! The Baraat ceremony with the white horse It was so crowded that I almost stepped in some formidable substance to get →
Jennica & Tyler
A ballerina's dress awaits her. Splendiferous dancing shoes anticipate. The team assembles. The finished product! I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but absolutely LOVE kids. I love tension. I love gestures. I love emotion. I love color. I love the rain. And after rain skies. I love connection. And coordinated craziness! Jennica & Tyler I am SO glad you both chose me! I loved connecting with you and your families!
Lens Play
I love long ceremonies because they give me the opportunity to goof around! These images were taken with a homemade lens. You can see the line of focus is different than a standard lens, click the link above to see how it works! If you like the look of it but do not want to make your own, try a lensbaby!

Helen & Wyatt
Helen and Wyatt were married on Helen's family farm right outside of Charlotte, NC. Helen is so naturally beautiful and vibrant. Her mother glances at her in the mirror. I love that their lips form the same shape! Pews were set up in the lawn for the ceremony! It was so unique! They would not stop smiling! Helen is known for bare feet. And since →
