Peter and Stephanie {St. Paul, MN + Engagement}

01.21.12  -  Engagement

"You're not a true 'Tommy' until you kiss a girl under the arches at midnight"

Peter and Stephanie opted to host us at their alma mater, St. Thomas University in St. Paul, MN, for their engagement session. Having been introduced through a mutual friend, Peter and Stephanie met while attending college. It only seemed natural that we shoot their engagement session at the location where they started dating and Peter proposed. We felt special as we learned the "ins and outs" of attending school during our vicious Minnesota winters; secret tunnels from building to building as well as incredibly cozy study nooks are a part of the St. Thomas lifestyle. We toured the building where Peter and Stephanie enjoyed a class together and had the pleasure of visiting the arches on campus where Peter proposed just a short time ago. We sincerely enjoyed getting to know a little more about this very special couple and look forward to their wedding day this August. Thank you both for letting us into your lives for a chilly a.m. engagement session. Congratulations Peter and Stephanie!!

Our poor, neglected blog!

01.10.12  -  News

Hey Everyone!

Wow, this year has been a whirlwind of AMAZING weddings and portrait sessions... We've been all over the country and have truly enjoyed every moment! In the hustle and bustle of it all, we have neglected this blog and I am so sad about it....

Resolution #1 for Laura Leigh Images is to start posting here more! BELIEVE IT! :-)

We've already started our year off with a bang, traveling to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for an absolutely incredible destination wedding! I'm excited to share more from that, and plan to do so this week!

Thanks for hanging with us, everyone! Be sure to check us out and "LIKE" our Laura Leigh Images Facebook Fan Page ... we update that frequently!

Cheers,
Laura

(The image below was taken the morning of the wedding at Las Caletas in Puerto Vallarta... it was beatiful, beyond words!)















Paolo & Jackie: Part 1 {New Hampshire Wedding Photographer}

07.14.11  -  Weddings

I was thrilled to travel to New Hampshire to photograph Jackie and Paolo's wedding day! They are such an incredible couple, full of life, love and happiness. They were married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony at The Harris Pelham Inn in Pelham, New Hampshire, surrounded by their friends and family. With part of the crowd from traveling from Brazil, the guests were treated to an infusion of Brazilian culture, including a signature drink and beautiful toast in Portuguese by the groom's brother.

We started the day at Elizabeth J. Salon where all of the ladies were having their hair and make-up done for the day. Jackie was the very picture of a relaxed and happy bride on her wedding day...







Kriss Soterion, the owner and creator of Kriss Cosmetics was on hand to ensure everyone was absolutely flawless!










Kriss was excited that the foundation she wiped off on her hand was in the shape of a heart - how appropriate for a wedding day!




We moved from Elizabeth J. Salon to Jackie's parent's house to finish the getting ready process




Jackie's sister, Sarah, helped Jackie slip into her wedding dress.




Lauren and Laura, making sure the sashes for the bridesmaid's dresses are wrinkle-free!




Jackie's mother helped with jewelry...




... and we were off!










This image of the guys was taken at the Inn, after the wedding, but I love seeing the girls next to the guys in blog posts :-)







One program in English and one in Portuguese!




The middle image is of Paolo waving to his guests while he waits for Jackie to walk down the lawn to marry him... he looks so happy!

























Stay tuned for more images of the AMAZING party they had following their ceremony!












Kyle + Laura {Sartell, MN Wedding Photographer}

06.28.11  -  Weddings

Kyle and Laura, along with friends and family, enjoyed a beautiful backyard wedding in Sartell, MN this past Saturday. With no back-up plan if it would happen to rain, the weather needed to be perfect... and it was. Just as planned. Perfect weather, perfect details, perfect couple... a perfect wedding.

All who attended enjoyed the sunshine and great company, along with amazing food and summery drinks specially chosen by Kyle and Laura. The mojitos in glass mason jars were an especially cute touch! In fact, just about every detail was especially cute, and especially thoughtful. All part of an elaborate plan that would end with an incredible wedding for Kyle and Laura.































Easily in my top 5 bouquets of all time...































Two beautiful pieces to remember Laura's grandmothers.... a pin, and a ring...







This is such a special idea! Instead of a typical unity candle, Laura and Kyle wrote letters to each other and will keep them in this box, along with a bottle of wine that they have chosen together. One their first anniversary, they will drink the wine and read the letters that they wrote for each other. Then, they will replace the bottle with a new kind of wine and new letters for each other to open on their next anniversary. They will do this every year! I LOVE this tradition!













Kyle and Laura - We hope you are enjoying your incredible honeymoon in Belize! We are so very very jealous! All the best to you both!

Cheers,
Laura & Kristyn
