jessica + alan = aidan

I know all remember Jessica & Alan they are 2008 Elario veteran’s. Well today I wanted to share more of them with you only this time its theres a new addition. The new addition is Aidan! He’s just a tiny little guy who when we shot this last week was only 1 month old. I love photographing newborns, especially when there are past bride & grooms of ours. Thats the ultimate compliment when someone has you back to take more photos. I just love Jessica & Alan too, really they are one of the nicest couples of all time. So without further ado here’s little Aidan.

Peace,
JP

First comes love

then comes marriage

then comes Aidan… he was sleeping peacefully when I arrived.

Then we woke him up. Look at his furry little back.

I really think this might be one of my fav’s from the whole session.

A couple with Dad.

And now Mom.

A family shot.

Another one..

New baby rooms are always so visual.

And then Aidan decided it was time for me to leave as he closes his eyes. Happy Memorial Day everyone!

    I’ve decided to blow my cover and come out of stalker mode to say how utterly impressed I am with your work! Whether it is absolute craziness with power outtages from an ice storm wedding or a cute but perhaps fussy and uncooperative subject …which I heard my nephew was being… you never fail to deliver fantastic images! You really capture the essence of a moment and the beauty and heart of its subject. I am truly a devoted fan. I love, love, love your work… and my nephew Aidan, of course!

  2. Mona (05.28.10) 

    I totally remember Jessica and Alan! I feel like they must have been in the voting section from the “best of” for 2008 and I definitely remember seeing their wedding on the blog. Awwww wow, feels like yesterday!!! Congratulations on your very cute little Aidan!!!! JP I love the picture of his “furry” back. New little babies are so cute and sleepy looking. Such a little pumpkin. :) So sweet and tiny. Congrats again guys, you all look great :)

  3. theresa (05.28.10) 

    he’s so beautiful ! love the family pic with his name on the wall, the black & whites are great………

lizzie & mike tie the knot

Posted in: Weddings

May 25 2010

Every now and then a wedding like Lizzie and Mike’s come’s along. A fun outdoor vibe with good times and good people was their theme, well that and a little J.CREW inspired looks as well. These kinds of weddings are just fun and laid back but I also think being outdoors on a nice day/night has that effect on people. From arriving to the home the wedding was hosted at right thru into the evening was just fun. Lizzie & Mike’s friends know how to have a good time as you’ll see from just a few photo booth images.

We set things off on the right note. Lizzie and Mike had a great first look and my favorite expression’s of the day came just seconds before Mike turned around to get a glimpse of his bride to be. After some quick photos we headed up the road to the church. Talk about being early too, that always happens when Christine A Wheat’s Special Event Planners are on the scene. Bride’s and groom’s, go get yourself a wedding planner, nuff said. So their ceremony took place and then followed a balloon exit with Lizzie and Mike holding one blue and one yellow balloon. Before I knew it we were back at the reception location and it was party time. The decor and flowers came straight from that talented wife of mine Kris Ann Elario of Fleurtacious Designs. She did a wonderful job and nailed the vibe Lizzie and Mike were going for. As I mentioned above the photo booth was off the hook Lizzie and Mike’s friends were just crazy! We’re glad this is how we got to spend May 22, 2010. Congrats to Lizzie and Mike!

Peace,
JP

Oh hey Lizzie!

Gotta love some blue shoes.

I was really thrilled to see this as the guys attire. Nothing at all against tuxedo’s but in my opinion this is the look for an outdoor reception.

I guess the little guy didn’t get the aviator memo?

Just one of some finishing touches.

First look…

Such a happy couple.

Gotta love this…

Kris Ann really does some awesome designs.

Lizzie was such a happy bride.

This is like Pottery Barn meet’s J.CREW meets JP

The Sunday morning facebook teaser.

How great is this church?

Not only good light and quaint… but most importantly air-conditioned!

Mr & Mrs….

A quick balloon release…

and a kiss.

Now it’s time for some cocktails..

I’m loving the clothes pins.

A couple details of their tent.

The newlyweds in that good good light.

working it!

Before I knew it we were in the photo booth area. I wanted that light in the next image.

and I got that light I wanted.. fav image of the day.

Less than a minute after the shot above they danced their first dance to Better Together by Jack Johnson. So appropriate for this couple.

I just love the sea of color going down the table.

Lizzie brought some props for her photo booth.

The jump is definitely a trademark of our photo booths.

Ha!

I’ll end the photo booth with this one because it’s just funny…

Congrats to Lizzie and Mike!

lily: 8 days old.

Posted in: Kids / Family

May 18 2010

I’d like to introduce you all to my newest blog stalker Lily. Nah I’m sure she has no clue what a blog is and by the time she’s an average brides age I wonder if we’ll still be blogging. Anyway Lily’s mom Stephanie apparently is a blog stalker and her girlfriends got together and bought her this awesome session as a baby shower gift. How cool are her friends? I know you all wish you had friends that were that cool huh? So just this morning Stephanie an Dan welcomed me into their beautiful home and had this adorable little baby waiting to be photographed. I’m totally thrilled with the collection of images I got for them. Little Lily is a beautiful baby and I enjoyed meeting her, Stephanie and Dan. Congrats to you guys!

Peace,
JP

Lily’s room is awesome. These babies rooms keep getting better I tell you.

Little wrinkly feet.
I thought this was an interesting angle and composition.
Now all the ladies say “awwww”
Stephanie is ridiculously photogenic huh?
One of the family. I just love new families.
I caught Lily giving the old one eye snoop.
How awesome is this?
I’m loving that decal.
Precious.
I hope Lily doesn’t hate me for posting this. How could I not though?
Stephanie and Dan have a lot of b&w’s on their walls I imagine these hanging among the others. Thanks again guys, great shoot!
