Website is down....

I've been fighting the past few days with multiple people. The problem is widespread across my sites. My website now points to the portrait portal instead of the splash page with the options for portraits, blog, or wedding. The clients proofing site is down as well.

My main concern at the moment is with the proofing site. While I can look in my file manager and still see images and folders.... They aren't showing on the screen (nothing is actually.) We're hopeful that when the programmers get the language straightened out that everything will be OK... however... there is a chance that it may have affected the translating of orders for fulfillment to me. IF you are waiting on an order of images, I ask that you please email me at Kelly@capturedforlifephotography.com with your order information.

Thank you for your patience at this time as I work to get everything back up.

Alan and Megan

Alan and Megan were seriously so much fun to work with. For one, Alan's brother happens to be a very close friend with my boyfriend... and his family is my boyfriends 2nd family. Who knew the world through google could be so small!

They are without a doubt one of the most fun couples of the season... and I think they'll be hard to top. They held their wedding at the Chesapeake conference center on the day of a tropical storm. But, as you'll see below, by the time they got married, the rain and wind stopped, and the streets dried up!



























This little beauty has some of the most naturally brilliant and blue eyes I've ever seen. There was no enhancement done to those beauties!

Family

Dawn gave me a call prior to coming into town for her friend Megan's wedding which I was shooting. We met down at 89th street to take some family photos. It was a lot of fun getting to meet everyone before the day of the wedding and getting used to Megan's ring bearer and his "antics" ;-)

Here's a preview of some of the shots

Cyril and Sarah - NoVa

I went up to Northern Virginia to shoot Cyril and Sarah's completely wonderful wedding! I met everyone... and I mean everyone at Sarah's family's house.... Sarah is one of 11 siblings! Between ALL the bridesmaids and siblings... as well as nephews and more it was a full.... and VERY fun place to be! The church they got married in was such a pleasure to work with, beautiful, and full of wonderful natural light... and we had fun pretty much wherever we went! It also was one of the few times in my life that I was "short" compared to everyone... including the bride! At 5"11 that doesn't happen often, it felt good! I need to just get to the photos, this will be another long post~















Sarah's 17 year old sister did all the flowers! She did a VERY good job!

A fathers love















The start of I think my fave series of garter toss photos! One of Sarah's younger brothers caught it... however... she also has a brother in the Marines. He decided his brother should have to work for it!






To be honest, I'm surprised I wasn't kicked during this scuffle!




Of course his big bro won!
The big brother wins

His mothers face says it all :-)

But he was nice enough to still let him have it. What are brothers for?


Sarah (and Cyril) come from wonderful, close, loving families... Evident in this last photo ;-) Don't you just love her little brothers face!?


Sarah and Cyril, Thank you for allowing me to tell your story. I had so much fun and loved getting to know your families. I wish you all the best and may your marriage be blessed.
