Jay & Kara | Wedding at Riverdale Manor
I haven’t done a day-after blog post in a while, but this holiday thing has thrown my schedule out of whack. Amy and I are both sick and achy, and we feel like we haven’t been home in months. Ok, enough complaining, on to the good things… Yesterday was our last wedding of a very busy, wonderful and overwhelming year. I think that it was the first time all year when I actually said “Wow, this is literally the best weather we could’ve asked for.” After so many days of rain, snow, wind, storms, and more, it was nice to actually be pleasantly surprised with my work environment. :)
Ok, so I teased on Facebook yesterday that this was the first wedding I’ve shot where I had lived with both the bride and the groom on separate occasions. True story. Jay and I go way back and Kara had been shacking up with us for the last few months while she was in nursing school. So, we had talked out this whole wedding thing pretty thoroughly by the time the day came. In case you missed it in April, check out their engagement pics. We’re really happy for you guys. Jay, you’ve come a long way since the loser freshman who used to like UNC and wear baby blue all the time. Ok, maybe not… I think you just got lucky. Kara, You’ve come a long way since two weeks ago when you were in our spare bedroom. Congrats! Enjoy everybody…

My favorite. If this is the last shot you see from my 2009 weddings, I feel pretty good about it…

Thanks sooooo very much Tony & Amy for capturing Jay & Kara’s personalities so well. We are so grateful that you were there to give us such incredible photos that we will treasure always. Thanks too for your friendship with Jay & Kara. It was a perfect way to end your year of photos. Can’t wait to see all the proofs! Blessings to you both in the New Year!

Awesome stuff. “Bride-in-the-mirror” shot is exceptional.
Stephanie Osborne:
Nice weather is such a blessing in our line of work isnt it? I really liked the shot of the groom in the trees. The ring shot however, WOW and you know me I’m a ring shot junkie lol. Great set and cute story about living together with each of them. I laughed at the part about Kara coming along way since two weeks ago. Hope you and Amy are having a great holiday season, get to feeling better and have a rockin new year!
