One of our brides recently asked if it would be weird to add me as a facebook friend–definitely not!  We’ve got a bunch of present and past Real Photography people on Facebook and I would love for you to add me as a friend (just search for Traci Cooper Turchin).  :)

We’ve also got a Real Photography page that I am working on getting up to date–if you become a fan or add me as a friend, I’ll be able to upload and tag images from your shoot or wedding!  (And everyone knows that it takes 10 good Facebook pictures to cancel out the one gross one that your friends uploaded…)

We’re working on getting caught up from our travels.  This week we’ve got two more weddings, a portrait shoot, and some vacation photos to share…here’s a quick pre-sneak peek from our wedding in Delaware this weekend.  (Yes, we were in heaven.)  :)

Kevin and Katie chose Palmer Park for their portrait shoot. We lucked out on the weather–managing to dodge a few rain clouds that day!  I love that we caught spring’s slow arrival with the green buds in the background!

Katie will be leaving for Afghanistan shortly.  We wish her health and safety during her deployment!

These pictures seemed like the perfect opportunity to play around with some new post processing techniques..

These two have been so patient waiting for their sneak peek from their gorgeous wedding two weeks ago!  Jenny and Johnny are a photographer’s dream–photogenic AND expressive.  Nic and I shot more pictures than we’ve ever taken and ended up with a truly ridiculous number of keepers!

Jenny’s getting ready room was just the church nursery, but it had great light and that makes ALL the difference!  It was probably my favorite getting ready room this year!

The dress and details were all beautiful!

Giving into the emotion of the day makes such a difference.  It makes the pictures so meaningful!

They were married at Joy Lutheran Church–perfect name, right?!

Portrait time!  It was freezing, but I promised Jenny the shots at the top of this hill would be totally worth it!
