Marshall turns two!!!

When asked my plans for the weekend I enthusiastically said, “Well Saturday I have a maternity session and Sunday I am photographing a cutie that is turning 2.” I bragged that the two-year old shoot should be really easy as he was a very easy baby and perfect for his one-year old session. I talked about how easy-going Marshall is and all the little details I had planned . . . . HAHAHAHAHAHA This adorable little guy is TWO!

This is what I think of this game!

HOWEVER, even with all the challenges that Marshall wanted to throw at us – he is still beyond cute and so much fun to play with! Enjoy!

A Wedding is a Circus . . .

Posted on July 24, 2016January 31, 2018 by cathleenmcgrathphotography

Years of preparation – horse drawn carriage – stilt-walker – ringmaster – they said it couldn’t be done . . .

Angela and Gary said, “Yes it can.” I know there are a lot of images here, but there was a lot going on.

When Angela asked me to photograph their wedding and told me it was a circus theme, I was so excited! I knew it was going to be spectacular!

The creativity and can-do attitude of Angela, Gary and Angela’s family is limitless. Angela and her family created, designed and built all the details of this wedding.

We started our journey at the hotel.

We are on our way . . . surprise for the bride! She had no idea that her father was going to dress like the ringmaster – he was also the officiant!

The first look. I love the first look. Not only can I have the couple selfishly to myself right after they just finished getting ready, but this is the perfect time for them to see each other and have the last quiet moment they are going to have together until the honeymoon!
