2011: A Year In Portraits

January 14, 2012

2011 was an incredible year!  Probably the busiest I can possibly remember.. lots of amazing opportunites and lots of lessons learned.   As with last year’s post, I took one image from each shoot this past year (with the exception of those who would like the images private).  This post is so meaningful to me – a way for me to look back and remember each and every person that allowed me to share a special day with them – and for that I am extremely grateful.

This post will also be one of the last ones on this blog.. very bitersweet, as this is where I first started sharing my photography online.  But as they say, when one door closes another opens, and I am so so excited to share with you the new Jessica Burke Photography *next week* (!!) so be sure to check back very soon.

Thank you to my clients, my family, my friends and my husband for joining me in this journey!  Here’s to an even better year in 2012.

So much for keeping quiet until the new blog is announced!  I just couldn’t wait to share a few favorites from Lani + Ramon’s wedding :)  Their outdoor wedding was {almost} a misty, rainy one..however just as the ceremony was about to start we lucked out and the skies dried up!  It made for some beautiful, diffused light and a lovely overcast background for their portraits, so no complaining over here!

I had such a wonderful time photographing Lani + Ramon’s wedding, they have such a sweet love that is evident in their images. Take a look!

Congratulations Lani + Ramon  <3

A gorgeous late summer day with two of my favorite people.. Amanda and I met in fifth grade, and as my oldest friend, we have been through a lot together.  One of those things being a long, hot summer break from high school working at a nearby water park as lifeguards.  In those days of bad sandal tans, Amanda and Tyler formed a close friendship that through the years has led them to where they are today..  Engaged!  I can’t say that I knew then they were perfect for each other, but I sure know that now.  It has been pretty amazing to watch their love for one another grow and I am so excited to be by their side as they take the next step in their relationship.  A wedding in Costa Rica!  Cannot wait to celebrate these two with family + friends :)  Love you both!

Here are a few frames from their engagement session in Napa..
Amanda is seriously stunning..
As with most of my brides + grooms, Amanda tried to tell me that they aren’t photogenic.  Um, I beg to differ!
Congratulations you two!  <3
