Tracey & Charlie | Wedding | West Orange, NJ | Chris

My first New Jersey wedding was EPIC. Seriously. I do not use that term lightly. I had the absolutely BEST time with Tracey and Charlie’s families and friends! With the fist pumpin, the sweltering heat and a ridiculously awesome couple, what more could I want? You may recall Tracey and Charlie from their incredible engagement session in San Francisco, Tracey & Charlie | Attraction Session | San Francisco, CA | Chris. Well, they got a bit more beautiful and handsome for their wedding day =) Their entire day was surrounded with an atmosphere of laughter, joy and love and it was perfect.

Thank you so much for selecting La Brisa for your wedding and thank you sooo much for helping me cross off another state for my photograph a wedding in 50 states by 2015 goal!

Matthew & Samantha | Joy Session | Topeka, KS | Chris

During my last visit to Kansas, I was delighted when one of my gorgeous models, Samantha, from a La Brisa Aspiring Photographer Workshop contacted me about a fun session with her step-brother and herself as a present for her step-mom! We met at Cedar Crest in Topeka and had an absolute blast running around MacLennan State Park and really we were all just trying to keep up with Matthew...who is one of the most adorable little boys ever! =)

Thank you again for selecting La Brisa to photograph you both!. I hope that you LOVE your images and I can not wait until next time!

Special thanks to Rebecca of Rebecca Witte Photography for assisting me with this shoot!

You can view more images from their session on the La Brisa Facebook page in their album HERE.
