Style Me Pretty Features Lisa Boggs Photography!

So a few months back, my lovely bride, Brandy, wanted to submit her wedding to Style Me Pretty.  I was completely up for the challenge, so she compiled all of the info and I polished off all of the photos, and BAM!  We submitted it!  And within a few short days, Style Me Pretty accepted the submission, and a few months later published it on their national blog.  How exciting is that?!  I can't tell you how cool it was to see my images (Who, me?  Lisa Boggs?  Where?) on a wedding blog of that caliber.  SO FREAKING COOL!  And of course Brandy did such a great job with her write-up and list of vendors.  So, just scroll down and see for yourself how it looks!  If you want to see the original post, just click on the screen capture I made and that will take you to Style Me Pretty.  Also, Brandy's original wedding blog post on THIS blog is right here.  :) Thank you Brandy and Style Me Pretty!  You guys rule!

Thanks for looking!

Brandy and Michael's Westport, Connecticut Wedding!

I can't believe Brandy and Michael's wedding is actually over!  I feel like it was just yesterday that I was sitting down with the two of them to discuss what they wanted out of their wedding photos (over gluten-free snacks, of course, because Brandy and I share the same sensitivity!).  It was in the fall that I took their engagement photos at Sunset Hills Vineyard, and now their summer DIY wedding in Connecticut is all over!  But the good news is...there are photos!  ;) When I met with Brandy she stressed to me that she absolutely loved the little details involved with weddings.  So when I arrived at their wedding site I knew I would see her amazing DIY details everywhere!  She made signs for almost everything, from the directional signs of where their wedding was, to the table assignments, to the little place cards on the tables.  The colors were so tasteful and natural, with lots of punchy greens accompanied by lovely muted creams and browns.  Brandy isn't a fan of colorful floral arrangements, so she went with potted herbs on the dining tables, with little sprigs of rosemary tucked in to everyones menus!  She even bypassed flowers to hold during the wedding and opted for gorgeous clutches for she and her bridesmaids.  Not to mention she purchased an amazing boutonniere for Michael made of burlap, feathers and twine!  Swoon!

Brandy and Michael are the epitome of amazing clients.  They were an absolute joy to work with and photograph, and I hope this isn't the last time I see them!  :)  Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your wedding day, and enjoy the photos!

P.S.  Have to give a huge shout out to Alison and her team at AMG Catering and Events who were an incredible to work with!  Thanks for making my job a lot easier!  :D

Brandy and Michael's Westport, CT Wedding - Sneak Peek!

This past weekend I travelled all the way to Westport, Connecticut for Brandy and Michael's wedding!  If you don't remember this awesome duo, you can check out part of their engagement session here.  :)  It was an amazing location and the weather was just perfect!  The Long Island Sound was not too far from the location of the event, so we walked down there a few times for photos.  This photo was taken toward the end of the evening (around 10:30 pm), and I just loved how it turned out.  Thanks so much to Brandy and Michael for having Mike and I up to photograph their special day!  Enjoy!

Brandy and Michael’s Wine-Tasting Engagement Session – Sunset Hills Vineyard – Part Two!

As promised, here's the follow-up post to Brandy and Michael's literary engagement session! Brandy and Michael decided to make their wine-tasting a little more formal, so Brandy wore a super cute purple dress (perfect to match the wine, obviously!) and Michael wore a business casual outfit. We marched into the Sunset Hills Winery (a fully restored 130-yr-old Amish barn) and made our way around the bar so Brandy and Michael could get some sips of delicious wine. The inside of this winery is just gorgeous! It is covered in buttery wood from wall to ceiling, and consists of two stories with two separate outdoor decks you can go out on to relax and take in the gorgeous view of the Blueridge and Short Hill mountain ranges. Brandy, Michael and I took advantage of all of those photographic opportunities, and I think really came out with some great shots! We were able to grab part of the sunset in the last few shots, and then I took one final photo from the entrance of the vineyard facing the mountains as I was leaving. It really was quite a spectacular sunset, so they're really not kidding about it being an ideal place to sip some wine and enjoy the view! Many thanks to Brandy and Michael for being such great sports during our time inside the winery! It's not easy with people watching you get your photograph taken, and I really think they did an incredible job! Also, many thanks to Jaclyn Slusher, the Events and Accounting Manger at Sunset Hills for allowing us to photograph wherever we liked. Enjoy the photos!

Brandy and Michael’s Literary Engagement Session – Sunset Hills Vineyard – Part One!

I met Brandy and Michael earlier this year, and knew straight away that they were going to be a great couple to work with! In speaking with them both about their ideas for their engagement session, it was clear that they loved 1) reading great books and 2) sipping delicious wine. So, we decided to combine both of their loves for a gorgeous engagement session at Sunset Hills Vinyeard in Purcellville, Virginia! I had been to the vineyard before, and knew I wanted to work with the weeping willow tree that sits back below a hill. It was the perfect private area for Brandy and Michael to relax and pose with their awesome books that they bought specifically for the shoot! I loved how Brandy coordinated everything and the colors just completely popped up against the green of the grass and willow tree! Brandy and Michael did such a great job of posing and hanging out that I really didn't have to give too much direction...they were naturals! We also got some shots along side the old stone house on the property, and a shiny Chevy truck that now sits by the front of the winery (of which the colors looked incredible too!).

I hope you love the photos below as much as I do, and stay tuned for part two of Brandy and Michael's engagement session, where we get a little more formal and go in the winery for some wine tasting! Enjoy!
