The Battle of the Possible Sexes…

PERSONAL | BABY ROBINSON

Tomorrow we find out if Baby Robinson is a she or a he. I’m so excited because I’m just overwhelmed with curiosity. We’ve got some pretty strong hunches coming in from family and I’m so curious to see if they are all right, or if Baby Robinson is going to throw everyone for a loop. So far, having done a few of the ridiculous baby gender prediction games a girl is favored by 4 to 2 odds but who knows. I’ve got a hunch, but I don’t want to say it just in case I’m wrong. ;)

Our appointment is at 12:30 and I’m planning on getting some lunch and perhaps an icy cold, sugar-filled milkshake right before so that Baby Robinson is all hyped up and ready to flash his or her nethers to the world.

What do you think? Boy or Girl?

Trevor & Keli’s Vero Beach Wedding at the Windsor Country Club

Aug 17 at 2:22 pm

Vero Beach, Florida

Trevor and Keli are both a bit reserved in a way that makes you want to get to know more about each of them. They came down to Florida where their families live from their home in North Carolina for their elegant and modern wedding at the private oceanfront community of the Windsor Country Club in Vero Beach, Florida. When we first met them there to shoot engagement photos and talk about their wedding, we were instantly struck by the beauty of the grounds. When you first turn in you are transported by a row of arching old Florida oak trees that lead to a large clubhouse building filled with sunlight and gorgeous details.

Keli and Trevor trusted us completely with the storytelling of their day, their only request being photos on the golf course near the interestingly shaped trees that dotted the green. We were so happy they suggested that because we were able to find one of the coolest trees we’d ever seen for one of our favorite portraits of all time.

Keli and Trevor were surrounded by friends and family that loved them so much that you could feel it in every glance, hug, and toast throughout the night. But I think the real story of the day was the quiet adoration that Keli and Trevor each have for each other that ran like a thread through the day tying each moment and detail together. Here is the story of Keli and Trevor’s wedding day…

Keli, you are straight from the pages of a magazine in this one…

This guy gets our logo on his back because he blatantly stepped right in front of me when they started walking back down the aisle. Luckily, I’m good at my job. ;)

Angela & Josh’s Weddingmoon | Elopement in San Francisco

Aug 16 at 2:22 pm

San Francisco, California

Angela and Josh (who also respond to the nicknames “Freckles” and “Handsome”) first contacted us a long time ago about the wedding they were planning. Then they contacted us again when they changed their plans. And then again when Angela told us that they were changing plans again. And then, we met at Panera where they told us they had decided to just run away together after all the other plans never seemed to be the right fit for them.

Since Nate and I did the same thing, we were (and are) huge advocates of the idea and sat excitedly while Angela and Josh told us their idea to have a small ceremony locally for their families and then run away to San Francisco to say their own handwritten vows and exchange rings on the top of one of the mountains overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.

We spent two days shooting them in and around San Francisco. The first day we followed them around town as they hit the streets to see the sights. We stopped by the Ferry Building for oysters and steamed caramel milk, then walked around the docks and down the row of Piers. We hit up Golden Gate Park and walked to the Pacific Ocean. The next day we met up with them and drove across the Golden Gate to the mountains on the Sausalito side where we found a gorgeous and private point at the top of a mountain that perfectly overlooked the city. The next day they headed out to the wine country to continue their honeymoon sipping on the nectar of the gods. Here is the story of their elopement, or as we call it… their weddingmoon….
