I’m starting to work on Saam and Shadi’s Persian wedding album. I can already tell it’s going to be a lot of fun.

True love
Another untouched photo. I’ve finally finished looking through all 1200 + images from the wedding, and I wanted to share a few of my favorites. Good luck, Emily and James!

Emily and James dance the night away.
Emily and James made fantastic book-themed decorations, like these paper flowers made from the pages of books. Although it broke Emily’s heart to destroy a book, I think the result was worth it! Here are their wedding bands, with Emily’s antique diamond engagement right.

Emily at her hair appointment
I’m so excited about Emily and James’ Austin book nerd wedding. I’m back in 20 degree Connecticut now, but for a few days I enjoyed temperatures in the 70s. It was everything you could ask for from a wedding – perfect couple, perfect weather. I’ll be posting more pictures as I review them, but I thought I’d throw this one up. This is Emily, just after getting her hair and makeup done. Raw camera exposure – She really looks this beautiful without a single stroke in Photoshop. Please note my supreme restraint and boldness in posting an untouched picture, which I normally never do. Emily doesn’t need any help on my end – just some beautiful window light.

I’ve followed in the footsteps of my former employer, Suna Lee into the world of boudoir. I think it’s a great way for women to celebrate who they are, and feel good about their bodies.
