i <3 my shootsac

SO, ever since I started shooting weddings, I've lugged around my Canon backback to hold all my gear. I'd turn around and the bulk of the bag would knock out the bride standing behind me (haha, okay I'm exaggerating! ;) No, but seriously, it was pretty big.



I've been hunting for a more stylish, girly camera bag for a while and a few months ago, my old partner,Stacey , told me about the shootsac invented by my favorite photographer EVER, Jessica Claire. I checked it out and fell in LOVE. There's a variety of interchangable covers to choose from, the sac itself is made from wetsuit material and hugs your hip and your lenses, so it's not bulky at all! It is expensive so I had to save up for it, but now that I have it....it's worth every penny! :) Here's a sneak peak of the box I got in the mail today!!! =) I'll have Glenn snap a picture of me with it on while I'm in action at the next wedding. More to come on the shootsac in a later blog........... :)

Howard & Alexis

Howard and Alexis were married the evening of 7.19.08 on Yorktown Beach. It was a small, intimate affair filled with romance and laughter. During the ceremony guests fanned themselves with the very practical motorized party favors as the bride and groom stood so lost in each other that they didn't seem to notice the heat.

I love beach weddings because of how relaxed they are!  Here, I caught a shot of the couple's son playing in the sand during the ceremony.  I thought it was a beautiful moment....such a pivotal moment in his life and with his innocence, he's unaware of the importance.

Here they are after the ceremony on the rocks...

Howard and Alexis failed to get the keys for the pier, but jumped at the chance to hop the gate!  I had a vision of their feet dangling off the edge and because of their boldness, I got it!  (Howard and Alexis...you guys ROCK!)

Just look how romantic!

The sunset was gorgeous.  Have I mentioned, I LOVE MY JOB!!!  :)

In the end, Howard and Alexis shocked us all and decided to leap into the water!
