French-or-Foe and London-Bound

I'm off to Europe for my annual fall trip! I will be away from 31 Aug til 9 Sept, but will have intermittent access to email. Have a great holiday weekend!

Jamaican Me Crazy!

I just finished the final touches on my lucky 07/07/07 wedding in Jamaica. Kristen and Greg have been together ....or at least best friends....since their freshman year in high school; that's almost 14 years!!! When they finally announced their engagement in February of 2005, most of their friends and family thought it was about time! Here are a few highlights from their 5-days filled with family and friends, sunshine and sand...

This is what happens when you put seven crazy siblings and their wives together on a tropical island in formal wear!

And this is what happens when you add the rest of the family....A congo-line into the ocean in their dress clothes!!

There's nothing like a beautiful sunset over the ocean to end a perfect wedding day! Kris and Greg, thanks for letting me join you for your special event!

Colors of India

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting an Indian wedding with Kate Triano. It was my first, and I must say it was absolutely gorgeous! The colors were amazing and there were so many friends and relatives there to celebrate with them. And I can't neglect to mention the food! Anyone who knows me well can attest to the fact that I could eat curry on a daily basis and never grow bored. Here are a few photographs from the event.

Kate, thanks for asking me to join you! I had a great time and look forward shooting together again soon!

CONGRATS, GRAD!

Hooray for Tessa! She is graduating from college after many years of studying (for a double major!) AND working full-time. Here are a few pics she had me take for her graduation announcement cards (which I also designed.)

Good luck as you continue your journey, Tessa!

HELLO (TAKE TWO!)

So, after a bit of delay, I think I am actually REALLY ready to begin. So "Hi!" and "Welcome!" I've been busy making new friends, learning new skills and taking lots of new pictures. Many of them can be seen on the website I just launched last week, http://www.heatherzphotography.com/. I'm really excited about it and hope that lots of people will visit (and share with anyone you know who might be looking for a photographer!) Shortly, I will be posting pictures of events I have been editing over the last few weeks, so stay tuned.

But in the meantime, I'd like to say a quick "Thank you!" to a few people who have helped me along the road recently including Kerry Gastley, Dave Schwartz, Don Harper and Kate Triano for opening their businesses to me and allowing me to follow them around with my camera and learn from trial and error, as well as taking in many of the lessons they have learned along their roads to becoming pros. They allowed me to discover and experience something that I truly love to do, and now hope to share with you!
