Precious + AJ Family Session - Centennial Park

I decided to take advantage of this warmer winter weather with a mini session out at Centennial Park. AJ + Precious joined me for a mini session with their newest addition to the family. I hadn’t photographed them since their wedding over a year ago, so it was great to see them again, along with AJ’s parents!

AJ + Precious Wedding - The Chanterelle

Having just done AJ + Precious’ engagement photos a month earlier, it felt like their wedding came so quick. From what I heard too, it was organized somewhat last minute too, which you wouldn’t have even been able to tell. It was just the perfect wedding, and I’m so thankful I was a part of it.

I started my day with the boys at the house, for some casual getting ready photos. I could tell immediately that they were a relaxed and fun bunch of guys, which makes my job that much easier. After about 30 minutes I headed over to The Chanterelle for the wedding reception. A few of the girls were a little bit behind schedule at the hair salon, but it all worked out in the end.

Photographing the ceremony itself was actually a little more challenging than usual. I have never seen, in all my years, that many people with cell phones taking photos. I adapt to any situation, and move to get the perfect shot, so no harm done. If anything it was really great to see so many people interacting and enjoying themselves. It made for a very unique atmosphere.

After the ceremony, and a very short break, we took the limo down to the marina where we spent a couple hours getting some family photos, wedding party photos and just a good mix of candid moments. The weather held out just long enough!

The rest of the night was back at The Chanterelle. As soon as it started everyone was having a good time. The DJ, was amazing, and played a couple awesome games, which led to some equally amazing photos. Before my night was done, I captured the first dances. It was definitely a memorable wedding, and I’m super happy with all the photos I was able to capture.

Precious and Anthony’s wedding is at the end of the month, which I am so excited for. The booked me relatively last minute, so I was really happy when they also had the time to do an engagement session. The location they chose was Centennial Park, which ended up being perfect, even though the mosquitos were out.

They were extremely natural in front of the camera which only gets me more excited for their wedding day. Plus, I got to meet their daughter, Cedar, who was the star of the show at the end of the session.
