Spring is absolutely one of my favorite seasons. I love how color starts to burst out everywhere; we are just starting to see the crocuses pop out of the ground in New England. Soon the trees will start to bud. For those getting married at this beautiful time of year, it is time to start considering what flowers to include in your wedding decor and personal flowers. Fortunately, Brides.com has a great series on all colors, styles, and flowers you can choose from.
Brides.com included one of our images from Brian and Lori’s wedding as well. Check out Brian’s gorgeous boutonniere- I love the way the peach tones blend into the vibrant pinks of the rose; the green berries and grasses are a really nice accent.

We wanted to share a little of the joy we get to experience on a regular basis as wedding and portrait photographers. So here’s our tribute to all kinds of kisses and celebrations of love from 2008. We were so lucky to be a part of these joyous moments- simply inspirational.
And now on to the smooching….

Deana and Nick had a fabulous wine country wedding at the beginning of fall. She did an amazing job with the feel of the day. Deana incorporated all sorts of special touches to highlight the time of year and the location, the gardens and wine cave at Hans Fahden Vineyards.

We thought it would be fun to start a little series highlighting some special groups of clients. Our first group would be the mini-families within the Allegro family. These are the couples and families who enjoyed our work enough to share it with their friends and families. And their friends and families choose us to photograph their celebrations or portraits. And perhaps continued the chain. In our household, we refer to these as generations.
To kick it off, I wanted to start with the family we’ve known the longest- that of Karen and Willy.

At this time of year, we have an opportunity to reflect. I don’t do this terribly often, preferring to look ahead and move forward, but I find it really is nice to remind myself how lucky I am. With regards to our work, I can’t imagine being more fortunate. Dave and I both love what we do- we get to be creative in so many different ways.
We love our clients. Our brides and grooms are from so many different walks of life and have so many interesting stories, from all over the country (from San Francisco and Boston to Chicago, New York and Portland to Washington DC and Phoenix).
their romance (boy rescuing girl with a lost show (aka Cinderella) at a party to getting engaged on a mountain top)
and their personalities (fun, funny, thoughtful, intelligent, creative).
Our clients have become our friends. And we are thrilled that we have been able to keep in touch through the years to see their families grow. (A special thank you to Facebook for making that even easier!)
We have been able to work with some of the most creative professionals in the wedding industry. Our colleagues teach us and support us. We are all better for these relationships.
And Dave and I get to work together!
Like I said, we really are unimaginably lucky.
With that, I would like to thank all of our fabulous clients, our wonderful family, and our peers for helping us do what we do. We love you all. Here’s to a fabulous 2009!

We had such a blast hanging with Deana and Nick for their engagement session, we couldn’t wait for the wedding. And the wedding was even more awesome and fun than I had expected. Their friends and family were outstanding- welcoming and relaxed. Their site was one of our favorites, Hans Fahden in the California wine country. The skies were deep, deep blue. And I got to learn so much more about Deana and Nick. Deana’s dad’s speech rocked- both witty and sentimental. I could see through his eyes how these two amazing, intelligent, fun, wonderful people were absolutely destined to be together.
