Continuing on with the theme of “Love” I realized that this month would be the perfect time for us to showcase a genre of photography that we have not yet given you, and that is Wedding Photography. I have a lot of respect for Wedding shooters, they carry a huge responsibility to capture precious imagery that will last for generations – and with no opportunity to go back and re-shoot!
Emilie Sommer
First up is Emilie Sommer, whose company emilie inc. is based in the Portland, Maine area. I love her beautiful and bold style. Emilie is also married to “J” Sandifer, the Wedding Marketing & Development Manager at liveBooks. “J” also has a great Blog on the wedding industry.

Lauren Grabelle
Followed by Lauren Grabelle, who when she is not taking portraits of dogs and their owners is photographing weddings with her same documentary, in-the-moment, realistic style that captures the flow of the festivities as it unfolds, just as with this precious image of a bride with her mother.
Teri Bloom
Many wedding photographers still shoot in black & white for their brides as it brings such a timeless and classic feel to the imagery. This shot of Teri’s for example, could have been taken years ago, or just last weekend, because it expresses a universal and endearing emotional moment that we can all recognize.

Johnson Sarkissian
Robert Johnson and Katherine Sarkissian are a dynamic husband and wife team who were early Chatterbox clients. And when they are not shooting fashion & editorial work, they are capturing weddings with their same lively style! It was a hard choice as to which image to select, for all of these photographers, but this one stuck out because it was so elegant and beautiful, like an oil painting – a simple study of a bride’s dress…

Andrew Holbrooke
And then last but not least, I wanted to mention a new client of mine, Andrew Holbrooke. Andy is not a Wedding shooter, as you will see from his website, but while we were editing recently, I thought his image of this Vietnamese bride would be a fun one to include with this month’s theme.
