Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Reid

Another lady joins the Reid family. 10 months ago I was that lady. A California gal that seems to fit right in with the Reid's love of hunting and the outdoors. Her now husband, is my husband's cousin. Our gift to them, was taking care of the photography and the bride's makeup. She also had me make her a custom bridal piece that her now mother in law bought for her.

The venue they chose was at Red Barn Farms. The weather cooperated beautifully even though all week they forcasted rain. They had a very fun and laid back wedding. There weren't too many traditional elements to the day which seemed to be perfect for them. Cupcakes instead of an actual cake, no bouquet or garter toss. Few family photos and lots of beer.

I am happy to announce Mr. and Mrs. Reid. Welcome to the family Stacie! Wishing you many wonderful happy memories during your lifetime.

My calender is now pretty much open. If you are getting married or know someone who is and needs a photographer contact me by emailing me at creationsbycreid@gmail.com. If you would like to see more work you may visit my facebook page. I know this isn't too professional but I am working on the details of designing a website. In the meantime, I still felt it important to have samples of work available for viewing. I offer different packages to help those on tighter budgets.

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Swihart

Beautiful location and setting for a wedding. The weather? PERFECT! It rained at every moment except during the wedding and all photo taking. Couldn't have been more lucky. It was a quiet, intimate wedding with the closest friends and family sharing in their love.

I wonder if she "sees" the way he looks at her? The love rolls off of him onto her like a rained on windshield that has been treated rainex. In this photo you can see it and you can see how giddy in love she is..

Off to the reception..well..they wanted to ride to the reception this way but decided not to, so we took some pics..

The next morning, we did a little "trash the dress" photo shoot and once again weather was perfect.

They were game for just about anything. The water was a bit cold too..i was in it half way to my knees and my feet seemed to numb a bit...so brave but so worth the photos!

Tomorrow I am shooting another wedding..one for family..with another amazing venue.

The bride and groom to be..stay tuned..for the introduction of Mr. and Mrs. Reid...

Weddings..Beautiful! The Bride, Groom and Let's Not Forget the Rings!

Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. But will the girl say "YES?" They are headed down that road to marriage. It starts out with a very big step. The question, "Will you marry me?" presented with a ring. Now, no matter how its done, there is always that unique and quirky story that the bride to be will tell the rest of her life. The size of the diamond doesn't matter or how much was spent. What matters is the thought and courage surrounding it.

And with these rings, well..it would be hard to say NO lol...

On THE day, another ring is given, both to bride and groom. The ring is a circle. An endless and timeless symbol of everlasting love.  With open communication, trust and love..not to mention the balance of laughter and romance..you will stay on that road of everlasting love!

I want to be that old couple that still holds hands that the younger generations oohing and awing about. How bout you? Tell me your story! I shall share my engagement story with pictures in the near future! I may even turn this into a bit of a contest with the story sharing!

Spring is Here!

It looks as though spring has finally arrived. Nights are still a bit chilly but the days are nice overall. Where I live the wind is a bit unbearable most days but the sun is shining beautifully. So, what does this mean? It means that I get lots of photo time!

Wedding season is in full bloom as well as those lovely flowers. Cherry blossoms are a favorite by most, especially in spring. They are a popular flower among photographers. They add a soft color with lines of contrast with all the branches and blooms. Then, when you add in the bright blue sky...its just breathtaking. I took these during a meeting with my April Bride.

I have an April wedding and 2 in May so far. Here are my brides and grooms to be:

Dusty and Stacie (family)
