I met Josh a pretty long time ago. Josh was just getting into photography and randomly sent me a message to meet up sometime for lunch. I rarely ever say no to food and meeting new people. Since that day, I gotta admit Josh has become one of my best friends. He has become such a great photographer in a small amount of time. He even has a million times better photo gear than me. I love bouncing ideas with him and hearing his latest gear find. I just wish we lived closer because he is one of the nicest guys ever. :)

I actually shot these photos back in December of 2010 and the Snyder family has welcomed a new little one. I also tried my 1st ever “family video” captured on the Canon 5D2. Well I was hoping to post both of them, but I have yet found any time to put into the video. But someday it will make its debut. Until then, here are some photos. :)

Gina Meola: Loooooove these!! Joanna looks gorgeous!! Josh is ok. ;) And Tessa is just the cutest ever. Awesome job!! (25/07/11, 04:05)

Josh: Love em Matt :) (25/07/11, 04:07)

We have always been really lucky to have had some awesome clients whom have worn Whichgoose headpieces in past weddings. So when we were contacted to shoot her current line, we were so stoked! We shoot some studio work, which was fun, along with some shots outdoors, which we always love!

Want to thank the talented Nicole Deanne & Cindel Huston whom we love for the awesome and amazing hair and makeup. Want to also thank Lyndzee Ellsworth for the help in styling (offering her amazing selection of clothes) and all the gorgeous models!

Jamie: I'm in the love with the first one... it's the sort of thing that would adorn the head of a late summer goddess. (09/07/11, 09:22)

Alexis: The first one is my fav! (09/07/11, 09:37)

Sandryte: The 2nd one is the most beautiful to me! I love this pastel vintage look. Congratulations to a winner :) (09/07/11, 10:01)

Jessica: Between the pale blush of the petals, touch of faint green, and delicate vines, the second head piece is absolutely adorable. This pink blossom is divine and whimsical. The perfect accessory to add to the already romantic atmosphere of this photograph. (09/07/11, 10:10)

Brittany Bailey: I love the Cricket love song comb! So pretty! (09/07/11, 10:11)

Fei: I love the pink flower head piece the most. It is gorgeous and it fits the theme and color of my wedding perfectly. I handmade all the flowers in pink crepe and tissue paper, and that pink head piece would a be perfect fit. (09/07/11, 10:36)

Beth: I love them all, but after careful deliberation, I think the third one/headband is my favourite. I love the tiny little details and I think they make it pop. It's so adorable and the model's hair make it angelic! <3 (09/07/11, 11:02)

Lauren Whaley: I love the last one because it speaks to my inner rugged princess! We're having a "sustainable" wedding, where everything is handmade, recycled, reused, and I think this piece would go beautifully with our theme. Thank you! (09/07/11, 11:06)

rog: I like the third one...in bed ; ) rog was here (09/07/11, 11:37)

bailey: I absolutely love the first one. 1. its vintage and unique looking. 2. it would make a good prop for shooting portraits. 3. I, myself would probably want to wear it everyday! Its beautiful! (09/07/11, 12:13)

Kim in Vacaville: I love the third one. It would look gorgeous in my daughter's hair. (09/07/11, 12:18)

Lareema: How gorgeous are these headpieces? I really love the second image of the pink flower the best. I adore the whimsical nostalgic look of it. I think it would look gorgeous in my hair on my wedding day, and any day thereafter. (09/07/11, 12:18)

Lauren: I love them all, it's so hard to choose, but I think the one with the wheat stands out. It's quite unique! And it also would be beautiful for a summer wedding. A bride could easily play off the wheat theme and incorporate it into other decorative elements like place cards and center pieces. Plus, I like the idea of wheat as life-giving; a crop that has provided food for centuries to sustain us physically, like love sustains us emotionally <3 (09/07/11, 12:32)

autumn: I love the third! So unique and beautiful! Fingers crossed, it would be perfect for my vintage garden wedding. Thanks for the chance to win :) (09/07/11, 12:32)

Jessica: I would love to win #2! It's so soft and romantic, and would look great with my wedding dress! I have my fingers crossed. (09/07/11, 02:33)

Elizabeth B: I love the pink flower, goodness its gorgeous and would be the perfect extra hint of soft color to a wedding dress. Allows for a simple and not too huge of a change on your wedding day. :) (09/07/11, 02:39)

Jessica: I love the first one. It's so pretty! (09/07/11, 03:33)

Kara Anne: I am absolutely in love with the 2nd one. It is simple and timeless yet adds a flirtatious touch to its English Garden feel. It could be the finishing touch on your Big Day or the perfect accessory with your favorite summer dress. (09/07/11, 04:13)

Mandy Henderson: I love the second one. I love the pink color and the idea of wearing it in a vintage garden wedding! (09/07/11, 05:07)

Shannon: At work, some of my co-workers call me Lily... and one of the reasons is because I'm almost always wearing flowers in my hair. The 2nd one (is it the "Among the Wildflowers" design?) would be the crowning glory in my collection! I'm totally swooning over that piece! (10/07/11, 01:52)

Emily: I love the second one! It's gorgeous and timeless. (10/07/11, 06:17)
