I was thrilled when I saw the light reflecting off of the beautiful Tiffany wedding band. Details are one of my favorite things to capture at an event; especially the bling, bling!

The Cake is Art

Aug 25 | Alexis Achten | 1 comment » | ShareThis

Your cake is on display for all your guests to view and smell before it gets cut into a hundred pieces. Display it like a piece of art so everyone can enjoy it visually before they enjoy it internally!

In the Moment

Aug 18 | Alexis Achten | 2 comments » | ShareThis

It’s moments like this, when the bride is standing in front of a large window and her mom is buttoning up her gown that a seasoned professional photographer can and will capture the moment. All the wonderful photographers on this blog know how to work with the light they are given in any situation and we all see it differently, that’s what makes photography so special.

No need to worry about wedding crashers when the bridal party consists of five Marines. They even come equipped with swords.

Don’t Be Nervous!

Jul 07 | Alexis Achten | no comments » | ShareThis

Courtney and Karl were excited for their engagement session but just before we started shooting she told me she was nervous! I was surprised to hear that from her. Usually it’s the men who aren’t that excited to have their photo taken or you have had bad pictures take of you in the past and you assume that’s what you’ll look like again. That won’t happen on my watch! You hire a professional for their experience and knowledge behind the camera and to guide you in front of it. That’s my job and I love doing it!

Can I Hold It?

Jun 30 | Alexis Achten | 1 comment » | ShareThis

This moment happened so quickly! It was just after the bride and groom had their first look and the little girl walked over to see the bride. I was in the right place at the right time and knew I had to take this picture, fast! Part of hiring an experienced photographer is knowing that you don’t have to worry about if they will get the shot. Often we end up capturing moments you didn’t even know happened.

Body Language

Sometimes all you need to see is how the couple is interacting with their hands & body position to understand the emotion of the image.

I always love the groom’s reaction when he gets under the brides veil. Usually, it’s a bit of confusion and laughter!

Let’s March!

The rain and clouds rolled through all day but the sun came out long enough for everyone to participate in a wedding march. Everyone held hands and made a tunnel. Each pair of people would run through it. Here’s the bride and groom making their way out of the tunnel!
