Ok,so here's the deal...

I'm already tired of this blog! It's not what I want & its not what I need. So that's why I havent been blogging anything. SORRY! A new blog is on the horizon,and its soooo much better! I've only got one more wedding this year,then wedding season is over for me. I have been overwhelmed with work ,so really no time to blog on a blog I dont even like ,get my point? =P



I will however,blog one photo from Anna & Eric's destination wedding I shot from August 5th-7th , in Amelia Island,Florida (my first one!). It was such a BEAUTIFUL place, and I felt SO blessed to be there,and to do what I love! It was my first time at the ocean,and it was simply breathtaking! Today marks one year that my grandma has been gone, and I remember while I was there, I'd look out into the ocean,and up into the sky,and I would talk to her ,telling her how much I love her ,and how much I miss her. I knew she was looking down on me,I just knew it! It was the greatest feeling in the world.



Well ,here's the picture - probably my favorite of the "sunrise" shoot we did! It was taken at 6:48am! Look at how beautifully god painted the sky for us that morning ,and speaking of painting,my grandma used to paint beautiful pictures of desserts & stuff, so MAYBE she had a hand in it as well!!!!!!!! =)

Sneak Peek: My FABULOUS new website!!!

Yep ,you read that right! I FINALLY have a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S new website in the works! My old one @ www.aprilrenee.com was awesome ,and I loved it so much ,BUT the hosting & server were RIDICULOUS ,and I could never update ,and upload pictures,because they wouldn't show up!! =( ...so had to find a new one ,and while working on it ,I'm finding new things I'm falling in love with! I cant wait for you all to see it! The pictures cover the WHOLE ENTIRE SCREEN!!!! How cool is that?!? Here is a sneak peek (I know these are not the greatest screen shots,but it gives you an idea :) I'm hoping to have it launched very very soon, and it'll still be @ aprilrenee.com ! =D

On Vacation...

Just wanted to let everyone know I'm in CT ,till Monday July 6th ,visiting my mom for the holiday weekend. I hope everyone has a wonderful (and safe!) 4th of July!!

New wedding blogs coming soon! =D

Yesterday I shot a wedding that I have been looking foward to ,for quite some time now ,and the day finally came! =) Katie & I have been emailing,and leaving comments back and forth on Facebook & Myspace for a couple months now,and I know she was super anxious for it too.

Saturday, I got to shoot an AMAZING wedding! Kristen & Bobby's love shined through and through,and you can just tell, this is a couple that will last a lifetime! Kristen, thank you SO much for letting me share your special day with you! Your family was so sweet ,and your bridal party was so much fun ,esp the speeches ,loved them!!!

Engagement: Nikki & Justin - June 14,2009

Today I got to hang out with a very sweet couple,and document their love @ the beautiful Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens! Nikki & Justin chose this place,because Nikki's last time there was about 4th grade for a field trip,and Justin had never been there,so I thought it was perfect...and it helps that the place is gorgeous too! They are set to get married next month,and I cant wait to capture every moment of their wedding, for them! Hope you two like your sneak peek! =)

Wedding Season Is Just Around The Corner!

I'm so excited for wedding season to start,its crazy! I've been sooo anxious to shoot again! My first official wedding of 2009 will be on June 20th, and I cant wait! I've got, I think, 5 weddings booked so far,with around 2-3 pending too, including my very first DESTINATION wedding in Amelia Island ,FL!!!! It's going to be right on the beach,and it's gonna be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! August cant get here soon enough! hehe. Oh! I've also got an awesome bridal & trash the dress shoot lined up too, in July ,so be on the lookout for those pictures! I've been TRYING to get something done with my website http://www.aprilrenee.com/ ,but the server & hosting is rediculous ,so I may just be getting a whole new website soon,we'll see! A new blog will be on the horizon as well,and it will be wayyy better than this one, so I've got lots of new exciting things coming soon! I hope you'll keep checking back ... stay tuned! =)
