Shelley & Michael's Wedding

Well, it's summer, so as you can imagine I'm busy with weddings!

Here's a slideshow (click link below) from a wedding I was fortunate to be apart of on Saturday July 1st. I spoke about these clients in my June 23rd post - Shelley & Michael had a $12,000 budget and we planned their wedding start to finish in less than three months!

The photographer was Cathy Cayton of Cayton Photography (www.caytonphotography.com) and in case you don't know, Cathy is the best deal in town!! Having worked with her husband, the famous Sean Cayton, for years on weddings, she is now booking weddings herself and her package is truly a steal - $1,500 for 6 hours with an album. I doubt with her gaining popularity the price will stay so low for very long...run, don't walk to their home studio!

You'll find Cathy has an amazing eye - she captured Shelley's inner (quite difficult) and outer (much less difficult) beauty. To work side by side with Cathy throughout the day and see how easy she made it look, with the results so amazing, well, it's hard to reconcile in my mind! I saw everything Cathy saw...but she saw it a bit differently and thank goodness she does!

Some of the best pictures are the ones of Shelley and her daughter - they show the amazing bond the two have. The bouquet toss? You guessed it, Shelley's daughter caught the bouquet! And of course, there are the pictures of Michael & Shelley at Garden of the Gods! They took these pictures before the wedding - it was truly a treat for them to meet at the spot they were engaged, less than three months before, to spend some very romantic and special alone time before walking down the aisle.

Gorgeous couple aren't they? Congratulations Shelley & Michael and their newly joined family!
