megan & jeff
06.17.08 | weddings
friday the 13th of june was lucky day for megan
& jeff. warding off all superstition, they
embraced their day carefree of black cats
stepping on a crack under a ladder. i've never
been superstitious, as my alma mater, colgate
university, was founded by 13 men with
13 prayers, 13 dollars & 13
articles.
i consider the number 13 a good omen i wish to pass along to them. congrats x 13 !!
having dated through high school and danced at more than just a few proms together, megan & jeff now join the '2% club,' exclusive to those who dated through high school/college then tie the knot together :)
both are talented musicians at csu. but on friday, jeff put down his trumpet and megan put down her trombone and marching shoes at the stonebrook manor and let friends & family enjoy their wedding music.
view their slideshow HERE and sign their pictage guestbook to see more HERE.
dapper details:
three sisters, dolling each other up:
jeff grinned from ear to ear almost the entire day. he seemed to embrace every moment, including his groomal portrait :)
the stonebook manor wasn't enough for guys being just guys, so we headed across the street to grab this shot:
ah, but rewind to watch the process and make sure you see the full effect on the slideshow here:
the guys enjoyed the 'mini-bonding teamwork game.' thanks again, guys, for your trust :)
megan radiated with timeless beauty with some creative processing:
megan's father diffuses tension with his soft humor:
moments before the ceremony ( i love the juxtaposition between the organic foreground/background vs. the parallel lines created by the sidewalk and her blowing veil):
the wind made it a tad difficult to light the unity candle, but jeff was packing a bic lighter, which did the job right :)
jeff's mom was so sweet the entire day. at the end of the evening, she gave me a huge hug which made me all warm and fuzzy inside.
during the lighting of the unity candle, jeff's uncle sang & played an original song on his guitar:
so crisp and excited, introducing the newly minted mr. & mrs:
christina did a wonderful job second-shooting. she brought out the big guns for formals... a 7 foot octabank supplied with a 1.21 gigawattplutonium-powered nuclear elinchrome
setup which was a blast to shoot with. she
created some stunning images including these
next four shots:
flare in focus with a soft subjects in the background: a kern-photo treat :)
a new favorite-most action out of the brand-spakin' new totally rad actions 2 toolkit, ("grandma's tap shoes @ 50% with some "snap" and "yin/yang"):
a beautiful moment in a summer colorado sunset:
letting go of it all:
the whole bridal gang in our 'fresh. modern. fun' style:
and a quick shot of the girls:
tossin' fun:
a favorite shot with taken with an ultra-wide view of some yummy lingering rays:
