weddings: carmela & alex

I was so very happy when I received a call from Alex,  a groomsman from Karen & Michael’s wedding, telling me he and Carmela wanted me to shoot their wedding.

Tom Tom, our trusty (most times, anyway) GPS got Michelle and I here a bit early, so I took some time to fire off a few shots  of the church interior.  I’m a true fan of architecture 😉

I love this moment.   Here’s the Father of the Bride giving away his daughter.

An amazing & genuine understanding between two very important men to the Bride.

Carmela was just so very classic and beautiful…

I love candle light, that coupled with the natural textures of the room – I was swooning!

I find myself incredibly lucky to who graced herself in this detail shot of the flowers.

Carmela & Alex, thank you so very much for having me shoot the wedding.    Can’t wait until next year (stay tuned, Shoot-Scoop visitors, you’ll be seeing more of these two at their second reception in October 2009)!
