2011 – Look Back

We can’t believe that it’s 2012 already! Where did 2011 go?!  For Nadine and I, 2011 has been one crazy packed year.  We worked with so many incredible and creative clients and shot more work than ever before. We had a great wedding season.  Some highlights for 2011 included shooting portraits for a local filming of ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition, shooting a wedding in Ravens Stadium in Baltimore (So cool to shoot on the field!), and being chosen for a full page feature in the Delaware Bride Magazine.  The busier we got the less we updated the blog.  We did manage to keep our facebook page updated with new work, so be sure to click through to fb and like our page to see tons more images! (www.facebook.com/greengiraffephotography)  We may still blog full post about some of these 2011 events, but wanted to share some of our favorite images in this post. We’ll always remember 2011.  We made many new friends and lost two loved family members. We laughed and cried and prayed.  We’re thankful for all that God has blessed us with. We can’t wait to see what 2012 has to hold. Thank you to our family, friends and the many wonderful clients who made 2011 so memorable. Here are a few of our favorite images from 2011, we hope that you enjoy them!    Much Love – Kyle & Nadine

Meet Krista & Brett

Meet Krista & Brett!  We met up with this awesome couple a few weeks ago to shoot their engagement photos. Krista had planned out some amazing locations to shoot around historical Princess Anne MD, including the awesome site featured in this blog post. We headed out to a rural location to the ruins of a church that was built in 1784!  It was an amazing place to shoot and ended up being surrounded by wild buttercups, what a bonus! if you’re interested in seeing some more pictures, check out their album on the Green Giraffe facebook page! We’re shooting Krista & Brett’s wedding this December and could not be more thrilled!

Thanks for Visiting the Blogsite, we just finished this complete remodel and are still ironing out some of the little things. Thanks for being patient for the week or so that our website was down for this overhaul. We’re also a little behind on blogging and have are right in the middle of a 7 week string of weekend weddings! We’ll keep up with it was best as we can, so stay tuned to see all the exciting things that are headed this way!  We love what we do and are blessed with so many awesome clients this season! Hope you’re gearing up to spend the summer doing amazing things with the people you love!

See you soon! – Kyle & Nadine

Love the awesome hand-crafted pillow that Krista found on Etsy.com for their save the date!

Hope you loved the post – leave a comment for us or the happy couple – hope to hear from you soon!  - Kyle & Nadine

 

Tina & Michael – Rehoboth Beach Engagement!

Today it snowed here, they closed schools early for two stinking inches! I’m not a huge fan, it seems really early for snow in Delaware.  Nasty Snowy Day = the perfect day to post an engagement session from beautiful sunny rehoboth beach!  I met Tina and Michael for the first time at a Fractured Prune this summer (Any excuse to get fractured prune doughnuts right!) and then we shot this session later this fall.  We got lucky and had a beautiful sunny fall day!  Tina and Michael are from Pennsylvania and have traveled to Rehoboth beach for many vacations.  They’re getting married here next summer and wanted to shoot some beach themed engagement pics.  Tina brought an amazing selection of props and ideas, which made our job a breeze! We started on the beach with some cool picnic props, rented some bikes for a few pics, and then walked around town to some of Tina and Michael’s favorite Rehoboth spots.  There were so many good shots from this session, it was hard to choose which ones to post! We love shooting engagement sessions, it’s always fun, we love getting to know our clients a little better before their wedding day, and it always results in some really great images for our couples.  We’ve also found it makes a difference for the wedding day itself, the couples we shoot e-sessions with tend to have a greater level of comfort in front of the camera.  That translates to more natural smiles and interactions in their wedding pictures.  Tina, thanks for coming with so many ideas, you are amazing! Michael, thanks for being a good sport! We are so excited for your wedding next June! Hope you all enjoy this post, find us on Facebook, or follow us on twitter @GreenGiraffeDEWe’re currently booking weddings, and all portrait work, hit us up, we’d love to work with you! – Kyle & Nadine – GGP

Tina & Michael E-Session Preview

Meet Tina and Michael.  They’re getting married next June at Rehoboth beach.  Nadine and I got together with them a couple weeks ago and shot some engagement photos.  Tina brought a slew of awesome props and ideas for her shoot. I’m looking forward to being able to share them with you, but for now here’s a quick peek!  If you’re getting married in 2011 we would love to talk with you, shoot us an email!

 

Katie & Brian – Chesapeake Engagement

Katie and Brian are getting married in May 2011, we got together with them this summer for an engagement session.  They are currently living in Idaho and were back visiting family for a week in Maryland.  We got together one of the nights they were here and shot these images! We were able to shoot on a beautiful estate on the Chesapeake Bay, beautiful gardens, lots of fun terrain and buildings to work with. Not to mention the bay itself.  The water was flat as glass, really beautiful.  It was awesome to be able to spend a little time with Katie and Bryan before their wedding. Thanks for a fun evening you guys! We hope you enjoy the images! – Kyle & Nadine

 

 

Love these images we shot in the driveway – awesome trees!

 

 

Katie and Brian brought their dogs all the way on the plane to be able to include them in the shoot!

 

 

We ended the shoot with some images on the Bay, for some reason I love these in B&W – they seem rather classic.

I’d love to see the last image on a large canvas!
