Sometimes life has a funny way of working itself out.  When I saved up my pennies over two years ago to buy my first DSLR  I never knew how that little camera would shape my life.  Thanks in big part to my trusty Nikon I now have a masters degree, the memories from a trip to a far-away land, and my own little business.

When my favorite trio of WFNX DJs had their morning show axed, many people were very upset.  Charlie Padgett of The Sandbox suddenly and unceremoniously found himself without a job. With more time on his hands he started shooting assignments for STUFF Magazine and now he’s started to dabble wedding photography.   Getting fired sucks, but Charlie just might have a new career on his hands.  So, when he asked me to second shoot I jumped at the chance.  I love assisting at weddings because with less responsibility I can just shoot, shoot, and shoot while focusing on my creativity.  If you have a minute, roll on over to Little Monkeys Photo and show Charlie some love.  In the meantime, please enjoy a few shots from Monica & Brian’s day of love!

Monica runs a bridal boutique and was lucky enough to have her pick of wedding gowns.  As you can imagine, she looked gorgeous.

The blue sky belies how chilly it was – Monica was a trooper!

Speaking of chilly, it couldn’t have been more than 40 degrees on the beach, but again, Monica and Brian didn’t complain a bit

And onto the fabulous reception – a toast to the bride and groom to kick things off

The band was an absolute blast and they kept Monica, Brian and their guests dancing all night.

And that’s it…I’m spent!

Best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Desmarais!
