Engaged: Kali & Erik: Vermont

When you are meant to be with someone, no matter the circumstances or odds, cupid has a way of working his magic in order to insure that you end up with that person. Such was the case with this sweet couple who made their way through the crowd to find one another and now travel the distance each weekend to be together. It is true love like this that leads to a lifetime of happiness. :)

Devin and I met up with Kali and Erik on possibly the last perfect day of summer. It was hot and sunny and pretty much the perfect day for their grand photo finale! I was even tempted to pass off the camera and join them! :) Enjoy. xo Kaht



This image just describes their love for one another, sweet and beautiful.







Kali just has this gorgeous smile that is highly contagious!









Erik's watch belonged to his grandfather and Kali's diamond was once Erik's grandmother's. I love when couples incorporate sentimental items into their new life together!

Now...Erik has a BIG yellow truck. And he loves this yellow truck nearly as much as he loves Kali :) They told me the story behind the yellow truck which made me adore them even more! You'll just have to trust me when I say, it was a good story :)



*love*





Highlight of my day! Standing knee deep in the cold river water to catch this shot. It felt so nice! Devin was on standby to catch me if I slipped :)

I sure do love those red shoes!

Hmmm, opposing teams?

Caught cuddling!

And the grand finale!

Thank you for a fun afternoon K&E!

Botched Workflow

It sure seems like everything the past week and a half has been out to totally botch up my workflow. You know...my jive, my moves, my ultra smooth processing groove. If it wasn't the brand new computer monitor needing to be returned and replaced due to a faulty color sync, it was the power going out, or the house painters poking their heads in my office windows looking to shoot the breeze. HELLO! I'm WOKRIN' HERE!

Can somebody please play a sad little ditty on the fiddle for me? Thanks.

However, despite all the mishaps and mix-ups, I am still trucking along here and looking at a few thousand miles before I sleeeeep tonight. It is better to move forward slowly than to stand completely still.

In the meantime, enjoy this image from a recent session. This couple's wedding is 1 year out and I am already looking forward to it! You'll learn more about them in their upcoming post, but suffice to say, they are pretty cool folks:) xo Kaht

Fall in Love!

As I focused through the lens on the lovely young women who was sitting in front of me, I heard a faint noise. And as she tipped her head to the sky with a small smile on her face, the noise became clear. It was the sound that always signals to me that fall is near. A flock of geese were flying overhead in an ever magnificent 'V' shape. We all paused and watched as they passed overhead.

One year ago I was busily preparing to marry my love. And one year later I am still so happy in love. Fall may signal the end of summer and start of the cold grey winter, but to me it will always be a sign of new beginnings and great adventures. And the beauty of autumn's splendor certainly does not hinder falling in love all over again :) xo Kaht

Married: Katelyn & Ian: Burlington, VT

As she sat by the window while her good friend finished her hair and make-up, a little smile crept onto Katelyn's face. She slowly opened one eye, looked at her girlfriends that were sitting by and said..."I'm getting married." Simple as that. Today was her day. And as exclamations of joy and excitement rippled through the room, Katelyn resumed her quiet posture by the window and let the transformation from girl to bride continue.

The day could not have been more perfect for a Lake Champlain cruise on The Spirit of the Ethan Allen. The sun was bright, the sky was clear and the breeze was comforting. All the ingredients for a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple!

Katelyn and Ian, thank you for the honor of being your wedding photographer. You could have chosen anyone, but you chose me :) And for that I am very happy. Your day was perfect. I hope you are enjoying a few days of relaxation! All the best to you both for the future! xo Kaht

Their little girl was a real cutie, especially with that bow-tie!





Being the bride is so nice, because everyone does everything for you!

Transformation complete!

A stunning bride with the most stunning eyes! Gorgeous Katelyn.

And a smooooth looking groom as well! I was a fan of those shades.



Katelyn & Ian opted for a first look since they were going to be on the cruise for their ceremony and reception. Land photos are good too!



It was a really sweet moment :)



The beautiful ladies! (Minus Sleeping Beauty who caught a nap before the ceremony.)

And of course the handsome guys!









A little *sparkle*!





The crew on The Ethan Allen cruise is always so accommodating and helpful! Thank you everyone :)

Time to get married!







A true August wedding photo!

A few details! The flowers were done by Kathy & Co. Florist in Burlington. The colors were just so beautiful!

Katelyn made a lot of the decorations herself, including these cute candle holders!

Fisher's Fancies was here!

We'll end with a sweet image from their first dance. :) Check out their slideshow to see more of their beautiful day!

Oh Bugger...

That's not a leaf.
