The first time I met this couple was at a coffee shop. We had finally decided to meet up after a few email exchanges. Heather was a sweetheart, and Anthony, semi-serious. Our next meeting surprised me and put a big smile to my face. Both of them were wearing jeans this time, casual, just being themselves. It was then I realized I was about to photograph a very special wedding. A special wedding with a very unique, artsy flair.
Artsy flair was an understatement. When I saw Heather on her wedding day, I knew I was going to have a good time. She was beautiful and stunning. Sarah, who had helped me with my previous wedding, was going to be my partner again this time. We had a blast.
And that is also just an understatement.
Heather and Anthony, November 13, 2009:
You see, Sarah and I had a blast trying to create. Photographing this day became a bit of a challenge when my original plan of leaving the premise had to be thrown out of the window. We got stuck working with concrete walls and dark hallways. Thank goodness for a bride and a groom who were willing to do anything and everything they were asked–and went beyond that. At the end of the day, Sarah and I looked at each other and agreed on one thing: that neither or us could wait to go home and see these images.
Congratulations, Heather and Anthony. It was absolutely my pleasure to be a part of your special day. When I left that day, I didn’t feel like I was at a client’s wedding. I felt like I was at a friend’s. I pray for a wonderful future for the two of you, and I also pray for our paths to cross again one day.

Oh, I am just.stunned.again.
You really do have a gift for this! I can’t believe how well you catch “the” moment. I feel like my shots are somewhere around that moment, close to it– but you always get IT. That kind of timing isn’t easily copied! And I think that’s a key part of your style and a uniqueness to your work. Just amazing again.
And thank you, again my friend, for letting me tag along. I learn and grow and love each opportunity!
Gorgeous! You did it again girlie!
Wow, you just blew me away with these images. You are such a wonderful photographer.
Great shots, like always! I really like the one with the brides reflection on the bar, very creative Rosina.
It’s so hard for me to put into words how absolutely blown away I am by these pictures!
You captured every single moment in just the right way. That day was sooo much fun!
Absolutely stunning Rosina. You are professional in every sense of the word. You really are great at capturing the moment in all its beauty. I see you had fun with a new lens too.
Wow, Ro – these are absolutely breathtaking! I love how viewing these makes me feel like I am getting to know the couple – that is a special talent to evoke that feeling through a photograph. I just wish I was at your house to see all of them . . . you didn’t post enough!
Oh, and I am still bitter that you didn’t do this when I got married! no fair!
wonderful, wonderful job – not that I am at all surprised.
What a fun couple! I could tell I loved them from your description! Her dress was GORGEOUS! That cake was gorgeous! Oh my word! I am so glad you were their photographers! That is great!
Wow Rosina! These are great! Stellar job with the lighting and creative shots.
Wow, Rosina! These wedding photos make me want to get married again so I can have you be my photographer. You are fabulous! The wedding was beautiful!
