New Toys- yay!

I just wanted to share my excitement with you all about my new baby- a Nikon D300. It's so funny because, as a photographer you spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on equipment, and there's always something more you need or want... =) But THIS little guy was a NEED... on the want list is the Nikon D700... but at about 3K just for the body... it will have to wait!

Sooo... I'm really looking forward to this next wedding season with my new baby, and don't forget I'm only booking 7 weddings this year! I've got two booked and a couple more potential jobs, so book your date soon!


Have a fabulous day everyone, and I hope you're not all sick like me... =P

Melissa & Sean's engagements

Melissa and Sean are getting married March 29th, and I couldn't be more excited! Their engagement has followed a little different path than most... they were planning on getting married in July in New Jersey, but because of Melissa's dad's health problems they have had to move the wedding not only up several months, but to an entirely different state! While I definitely feel for the challenges that have faced them in re-planning their wedding at warp-speed, I also feel a bit of guilty pleasure that I now get the honor of being their photographer!

I met Melissa for the first time through a mutual friend, and we just hit it off! Not only do we have our great friend Leen in common, but we like the same kind of Jewelry and fawned over each others' rings for a good five minutes. =) They are two of the sweetest people, and it was great to finally meet Sean this past Saturday because I got to witness first hand how in love these two are! I can't wait for March to come because I know their wedding is going to be amazing.

Here's a couple of photographs from their engagement session.

Have you visited www.copperphotography.com yet?

Because if you haven't... head on over and look around! I've updated some of the galleries, posted the trash the dress gallery, and corrected a few punctuation errors. =) What can I say, I was always excellent at english composition, but maybe not so much at punctuation. We all have our flaws I suppose...

At any rate, I'm really excited about the new site, and this new year. I have some wonderful clients booked, some exciting ideas for photo shoots, and just a renewed passion for what I do! Seriously now, I just can't wait for spring. I have two weddings that I can't wait to shoot, a bunch of senior portraits (and lets be real here... this Chicago winter is kicking my butt! Just the other day I got frost bite on my cheek walking from my car into work... this is just ridiculous!) So come on spring! I'm completely stoked to be shooting the very sweet Melissa and Sean's wedding at the end of march, then my lovely friends Rachel & Dan's wedding in the beginning of April. I love SPRING!

Oh Chicago, why are you a place of endless winter!? ;)

It's ALIVE!!!

Ok, it's LIVE, not ALIVE.

Check out my new site- Copper Photography Browse around, enjoy the photos, and let me know what you think! There will be one more gallery added in the next two days, so check back then too!
