Wedding and Portrait Photography – Karen Leaf

Julie and Dan were married on New Year’s Eve, 2010, at the newly renovated, and beautiful  Knights of Columbus in North Grosvenordale.

I met Julie when I moved into the new studio,  right above Desired Weddings where Julie works as a bridal consultant.  It was so interesting to hear first hand the day to day decisions she and Dan were making about the wedding and I was thrilled and honored to be asked to document her day. “Nothing Traditional”. Ok. “PhotoBooth” OK! and she was right on about her friends getting into it!

Julie had picked out a Maggie Sottero dress that was stunning. Glimpes of Gaia always does breathtaking work on their floral artistry but they really pulled out the stops on the arrangements. I couldn’t stop looking at them. Sandy from Desired Weddings was the officiant and personalized the wedding like only a friend could do.

Julie and Dan’s bridal party was the keystone to getting the party going — all night dancing with great DJ services by Mush; the post wedding party didn’t seem to be letting up when Pete and I left well after midnight.

The PhotoBooth was jammed all night long! I had a hard time going thru to pick out my favorites,  Moms and Dads and Grandparents were frequent visitors. What a blast!

Thank you to Lori and her crew at the KOC — so incredibly beautifully decorated, professional staff, great food.

Thank you to Norman and Carol for raising such a fine young man,

Thank you to Peter and Linda — who knew we’d meet again after Kim and Todd’s wedding, where one of my favorite all time pictures was made, of Peter in his dress socks and shoes and shorts!

and special love to Julie and Dan. You guys blow me away.

Julie and Dan’s photographs will be available to be previewed in about 2 weeks; their engagement images are up here and the password is   temp .  If you register I’ll be happy to send you an email when the wedding pictures are ready.
