The beautiful couple!

Allow me to introduce you to Alan and Lucie.  Their wedding was an absolute blast!  Every person there was so much fun…I had a great time.  Take a look at some of my favorites from their big day.  Some of the images have different effects applied.  Let me know what you think.

Here you see Alan & Lucie with their incredible friend and wedding planner. He had every detail from the flowers to hair and make-up accounted for. Great job!

Here comes the bride!

The ceremony was lovely.  Alan and Lucie incorporated many Filipino customs into their wedding.  These special traditions made every aspect of the day so rich in meaning.

Can you tell how much fun they are?

The flower girls were absolutely adorable.  The dresses and flowers..too precious. 

One of my favorites...

After the ceremony we took a trip to an outdoor gazebo and captured some great shots.  I wish I could post all of them, but hopefully you can get an idea from these.

Isn't her dress beautiful?

 Dave and I have been to a lot of weddings, but I have never seen such a talented group of people.  Every person there was a phenomenal dancer and there were some singers as well.  (One couple did a beautiful dance in honor of the couple and a young man sang a song for them.)  It was amazing to watch.  Even Alan and Lucie had learned a choreographed number for their first dance. 

Thanks for a great time!  Best wishes and God bless you both.

One of the most fun aspects of working with wedding photographs (after the wedding itself, of course!) is the design of the wedding album.  Along with our printing and framing, we manufacture all of our storybook (sometimes called coffee table style albums) in house.  This gives us complete control over all aspects of the creation process and allows us to offer things that others cannot.

I wanted to share our most recent album layout with you.  It is currently being bound into an album (so check back soon for finished pictures). 

Here are the 15 spreads from Adam and Anne’s wedding in May.  They are a lovely couple and we wish the all the blessings in the world!

Heritage is now offering five different collections that are sized to fit over most sofas or dining room tables.  Choose prints alone or with the mats and frames of your choice to get the look you are searching for in your home. 

Here are our two of our new collections to give you an idea of what can be done:

Generation Collection

Studio Collection

A recent client and her family (they are adorable, aren’t they?) chose to hang a collection of portraits in their home.   We loved the results.  She selected black and white images and placed them above her fireplace with smaller frames placed on the mantle. 

Here are some of my other favorites from their session:

Rich and Kristen were married at Lakeside Center Banquet & Meeting Hall (http://www.lakesidecenterbanquet.com/)  .  It is a beautiful place with a gazebo in the lake where they held the ceremony.  Dave and I had a great time capturing shots because everywhere we looked there was something great to photograph.

You can see from this next shot the ceremony with the guests seated on the bank.  Words don’t really describe how beautiful it is but the pictures should give you an idea.

The family sat inside the gazebo and surrounded Rich and Kristen as they said their vows.  You can see what a beautiful day they had!

Here are some of my other favorite shots.

Isn’t this a gorgious dress?  I loved the way it looked hanging here in the bridal suite.

The bracelet that Kristen wore was also worn by many of Kristen’s relatives on their own wedding days.  The paper you see here has the names and wedding dates on it. 

Let us know what you think!

Check back soon for more photos.

     Heritage Studio & Gallery has selected a number of area students in the area to represent us in their high schools.  Eventually, we’d love to have them all posted here for you all to view.  Please check back and see more soon. 

     This beautiful young lady is Kaitlyn.  Here are some of our favorites from the sessions we had with her.  She plays the piano, the flute, and sings in Green’s Ensemble.  We really wanted to capture her musical talents in her pictures.  I think we did…let us know what you think.

We offer collages such as the one above. It's a great way to showcase more than one photo on one print.

This shot was taken in front of a historic schoolhouse where Kaitlyn has performed. I love the contrast of the brick and railing with her skin and dress.

We travelled to Kaitlyn's home for this shot. She wanted to incorporate her piano in to her images.

This may be my favorite. We shot this at Boettler Park in Green. It's a beautiful park that has some excellent spots for portraits.

Look at those eyes! This effect is called sepia-it makes some pictures just pop.

This was Kaitlyn's idea and we think it looked great. She is wearing her ensemble dress and surrounded by her sheet music. I love that it is so personal to who she is.

This is our "high contrast" effect. I love the colors it created in this one.

Kaitlyn was such a great subject.  Her personality made it easy!  It’s not hard to create beautiful shots with a model like her!

Thanks Kaitlyn and family,

Amy

     Here are some of my favorite pictures from a recent family session.  Alayna, the little girl had fun playing with her Mom and Dad and I tried to capture it.  Aren’t they a beautiful family?  I loved the way the blue and white looked with our wood flooring. 

Look at those little feet. :)

I love this face! It's fun to get shome shots from the child's vantage point.

     Alayna loved playing with the bubbles.  Bubbles seem to have this effect on all children (and many adults I think).  There are so many cute ones I couldn’t decide what to post but I love her face in this one.  I thought it might be fun to color the bubbles on black and white.  What do you think?

Cuddling with her Mommy. I love trying to catch moments like this. How precious!

It's tough to pick, but this might be my favorite. It's so clear Alayna is having a blast with her Dad.

     Check back often for more work.  We are still very busy with the merging businesses but soon we plan to share bits of all our sessions here.  Let us know what you think.   For more information, take a look at our website: www.heritagestudioandgallery.com.

One of my favorite types of sessions is maternity.  I just love the promise and hope that is wrapped up in that one little belly.  Such a special and blessed time! 

I wanted to share a session we did a few days ago.  Big sister Maeva was so cute!  She and her parents played together while I caught as many of the precious moments as I could.

We didn't just pose and shoot pictures...we had much more fun playing.

 Maeva and her Dad:

This one is my favorite:

Yes, the baby on the bottom right is cute, isn’t she? (She’s my daughter.)

Dave and I had a great time set up at Canal Days over the weekend. We were so excited to meet those of you that stopped by and said hello. We had our signature canvases hung during the day and then ran a slideshow at night. All went great–except the rain on Saturday! We neighbored with Grandma’s Kitchen (and her yummy “Pepper Jelly”) and Sister’s Pizza (coming August 15).

For those who missed our booth and the chance to see our work, please check out our website at http://www.heritagestudioandgallery.com/. Send us an e-mail and let us know what you think.

Thanks for reading.  Check back often!
