Nicole and Erick – 10.25.08

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing Nicole and Erick’s wedding. It was, of course, POURING the entire day but Nicole did not let that damper her spirits. She just has the most awesome personality. There were times when she was trying to cheer up others who were bummed by the rain. We had a great time with Nicole and Erick’s families and friends all day.

Below are some favs. Click HERE for the slideshow.

Melissa and Brian – 09.13.08

Last Saturday was a double header for Klose Photography. Lindsey will be along soon with the blog post of her wedding. I had the privilege of capturing the day for Melissa and Brian with the help of my friend Erik Matey. We split the first part of the day with Erik hanging out with the guys while I stayed with the girls. And what a group of girls they are!! (It was good seeing Jessica and Kellan again. Jess was one of Melissa’s bridesmaids.) Anyhow, after all of the fun we had getting ready, it was time for the short trolley ride down to State Street for the ceremony at the amazing St. Lawrence Cathedral. Melissa and Brian’s clergy from their home churches conducted the ceremony and it was beautiful. After the ceremony, we formulated a plan for our portrait time. We were hoping that the showers that were threatening all day held off until after pictures. Lucky for us they did! We started with the bridal party along Riverfront then spent some time with just Melissa and Brian before boarding the trolley. Back to the Milestone we went for the Cocktail Hour/Penn State Viewing Party. Melissa and her Mom put so much thought into every little detail and it totally showed: from the flowers, to the candy bar, to the table names. My favorite detail were the sunflowers!!! DJ Mark Hoover kept the dance floor packed (and me laughing ) all night. The night ended with SPARKLERS surrounding Melissa and Brian and what a way to end the night.

Thank you Melissa and Brian for such an awesome day. I hope you enjoyed your after-party at Molly Brannigans!!

Below are some of my favorites from the day. CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE SLIDESHOW.

Adam and Chelsea – ENGAGED!!!!!!!

OK – I can’t wait to post this any longer. I’ve been so excited about this session for over a month. (Don’t worry. There will be a new post every day this week). Adam had contacted me regarding his plan to propose to his girlfriend, Chelsea, while on vacation at the beach and he wanted to have it captured by me. After my initial gushing over how romantic this whole idea was, we hatched a plan to have Adam “surprise” Chelsea with a portrait session which of course would eventually end in the proposal. Also helping Adam with the surprise was his family, especially his dad who secretly set up a picnic on the beach while we walked in the other direction.

So on Thursday I drove to Lewes, DE to meet Adam and Chelsea for their session. I’m not sure if Adam was nervous or not but he definitely didn’t let it show. These two are so completely in love with each other that capturing them was easy. We walked on the beach towards the lighthouse then turned around and walked back to about where we had started. The picnic was all set, complete with music and champagne. After they shared some food, it was time and Adam did not disappoint. But rather than have me explain, let’s let the images speak for themselves in my first ever blog slideshow.

We found this shell and thought it looked like a heart.

The exquisite ring.

Hey Cyndi,
My sister (Krista) told me to check this out this morning. It is AMAZING, I definitely got teary-eyed. Just wanted to let you know that you have truly been blessed with such creativity. Wish I would have had this for my engagement .

This was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I am so happy for my cousin Chelsea. I can only wish for a proposal like this one. You did an amazing job at capturing how happy and in love they are.

I do not know Adam or Chelsea but I am practically sobbing after watching their slide show. Beautiful! Good luck to both of you.

Cousin Jake - August 20, 2008 - 10:13 pm

Chelsea, Cousin Jake here. Wow, that was great. It brings back memories of when Veronica and I took our engagement pictures at Laguna Beach here in California…although we were already engaged. What your soon to be husband did for you was what I would call a “homerun”, “slamdunk baby”! That was good. I just heard of the news that you are engaged Chelsea and although I’ve never met your friend, now fiance; I can truly say that I share in your excitement, and I am happy for the both of you and what the future will hold for you. I can’t beleive you are getting married! Seems like just yesterday you were a little girl…don’t know how you grew up so fast! One thing I do know is I know your Mom would be so proud of you and so overjoyed by this new chapter your life is about to take…

Well, I look forward to meeting your soon to be husband one day soon…. Congratulations! This is awesome.

Love Your Favorite Cousin Jake, and Veronica.

Justin and Amy - August 23, 2008 - 7:45 pm

Adam,

Justin (your favorite cousin) doesn’t want to admit it, but he’s secretly jealous of your obvious romantic charm in doing this for Chelsea. Very nice. Beautiful photography. Very touching. We are so happy for you both!

This was the most beautiful proposal we have ever seen. We can’t believe that our Adam has grown up and is about to be a married man. We love you dearly Adam and look forward to meeting Chelsea in the near future. Love and hugs to you both and may your marriage always be blessed by Jehovah.

Kade – 6 months

For our monthly visit with Kade, we went with the Patriotic theme mixed with a little kittie loving. Kade’s parents rescued THE MOST ADORABLE little kittens, names Blanco and Shadow. Shadow LOVES Kade, even crawling up on his lap during our session. Oh and Kade has 2 teeth! He’s getting so big.

This is Shadow. I so wanted to take him home!

And Blanco, who has a little bit more of an attitude than Shadow.

DISCLAIMER: No kittens were harmed in the making of this photograph. Apparently, Shadow lets Kade do ANYTHING to him and he just doesn’t care.

Our little man…

TEETH!!

Like I said, we got a little Patriotic.

Then back inside for a couple more shots.

I love your blog, Cyndi, and even though I have NO clue who Kade and his family are, it’s wonderful seeing him growing up in front of your camera lens!
