The latter part of 2009 was quite a busy one for cb Yates Photography. So busy in fact that I didn’t get to post images of the beautiful autumn weddings I attended. It just wouldn’t feel right not displaying these images and giving the couples their time in the limelight that they so rightly deserve. Don’t you agree? Each of these husband and wife relationships is gorgeous and as always I feel blessed to be part of their life-changing day. I went through and pulled my favorite newlywed images from each day. They aren’t posed, they aren’t even looking directly at my camera, they’re just being themselves *together* and those are always my favorite images of the day.
As I chose my fall faves for this post I couldn’t help but feel excited as I look ahead to 2010. I am working with some incredible couples that are planning detailed, beautiful events for this year. How do I get so lucky to work with these people? I don’t know but I’m already looking forward to sharing images from their days with you.
And one last note, BIG thanks to the photographers that graciously allow me to second-shoot with them this year. Some of the weddings are pictured above. As you all know I love what I do, but when I get to do it alongside another photographer it’s even more delightful. How fun to share the excitement when walking in and seeing the bride dressed in an amazing gown with an even more amazing smile on her face to match. Or overcoming an obstacle such as pouring rain during outdoor photos and walking away with images that we’re very proud of! And my favorite, sitting down together at the end of the night and celebrating the closing of one wedding season with a big slice of decadent wedding cake.
Here’s to an exciting 2010!
OMG Cara. The Sunset exit is amazing, brought tears to my eyes.
I miss you friend… it has only been what… two weeks? BAH! Cara withdrawal! Birthday celebration?
Your pictures are amazing! I’m a fellow BYW student and came to check out your blog. You’re taking great pictures. I do some freelance photography on the side too and I am loving how relaxed and at ease your clients look in front of the camera. Your card design/templates are super cute too. Keep up the good work!
