Meet Ruby:)

Fun fact, Courtney and Patrick are getting married in their home which is actually a beautiful church turned into a living space. So when we found this random church under construction it was perfect!!


But this is my favorite for the session:)




Can't wait to see everyone soon!!That church is OFF the chain!!! where is that thing?? These pics are awesome!!!! And that little Ruby girl, she's a star in the making!! I can't wait to see the wedding!
(12.17.09 @ 08:58 AM)so incredible! you find the absolute coolest places :) love all the shots - you are a such an artist... the wedding will be fabulous, no doubt :)
(12.17.09 @ 09:08 AM)Amazing session Clary! Im with Chrissy....where is that church!
(12.17.09 @ 10:25 AM)WOW! I love it when you even outdo yourself. :) AMAZING place, beautiful couple.
(12.17.09 @ 11:02 AM)so funny...i was totally going to leave a comment that said: this is a perfect location...the church them...and the vines that match her hair. And then i read your comment and though: DARN, great minds think alike! haha These are absolutely fabulous. One of my fave locations ever.
(12.17.09 @ 12:25 PM)Oh Clary, this is insanely gorgeous. How do you keep finding such awesome clients??? Perfect styling, perfect moments. Really love this.
(12.17.09 @ 02:59 PM)What a beautiful session. My favorite is little ruby laying on the wall with the couple kissing! But those vines! perfection.
(12.17.09 @ 07:30 PM)This is one of my faves. (I think I say that alot on your blog comments!) The location is so unique! Total coolness!
(12.18.09 @ 10:06 AM)Thank You for so many, beautiful and interesting pictures. I will be showing them off to all my friends and relatives. My favorite also is Ruby, my Grand Dog, laying on the wall with Patrick & Courtney kissing.
(12.18.09 @ 10:11 AM)beautiful!
(12.19.09 @ 01:30 PM)I used to drive by that abandoned church everyday on the way to the VA and think what cool place it would be to take pictures...made me smile to finally see some amazing pictures inside it : )
(12.31.09 @ 12:25 AM)
















Those boots are kick-ass. Your black and white processing makes me happy.
(12.03.09 @ 11:38 PM)Soooo beautiful!!!
(12.04.09 @ 09:04 AM)MY fave is the one from afar because I would totally hang that up on a canvas if I were them. SUCH ART! . :) LOVE, CP! LOVE!
(12.04.09 @ 09:57 AM)what an incredible session, great light, awesome backgrounds... wow!
(12.04.09 @ 09:59 AM)The wide of them on street corner is just P_E_R_F_E_C_T! WOW! It feels like I just turned my head and caught a glimpse of Love in the middle of the city on an unexpected street corner. LOVE !
(12.04.09 @ 10:04 AM)I love these...especially the b&w's. 5th from the bottom is my favorite. Gorgeous as usual!
(12.04.09 @ 11:01 AM)I love seeing others in my city. Eeee! You create such lovely, lovely work, Clary. ♥
(12.04.09 @ 12:08 PM)I lovey our work so much - just wanted you to know that!!!
PS - I love the shots in the sand!
(12.04.09 @ 01:15 PM)You captured one of my best friends so beautifully - and i big time heart the series on the beach - it's so 'them'! xxxxx
(12.04.09 @ 03:08 PM)Gina and Mark,
I have no regrets getting up early with you now to help before the shoot. The pictures are unbelievable! You both look awesome, maybe you should go into modeling or maybe you should only let Clary take your pictures.
WOW is about all I can say!!! Incredibly beautiful couple, location and shots. This may well be the most amazing engagement session I've ever seen - great job!
(12.05.09 @ 03:25 PM)Gina and Mark.....you make a beautiful couple and these pictures are proof. Your love shows in each look. Wonderful shots. Can't wait till the wedding!! Love you both so much... and the pictures too!
(12.05.09 @ 07:16 PM)The pictures are great. Adam says you should have had one with Mark buried in the sand. That is one of his favorite memories of their trip to the beach with both of you.
(12.06.09 @ 10:15 AM)Gina and Mark.....you make a beautiful couple and these pictures are proof. Your love shows. Wonderful shots. Can't wait till the wedding!! Love you both so much... and the pictures too!
(12.06.09 @ 11:38 AM)Clary - this session really made my heart skip a beat. I love every single shot. My fave is the one on the steps. I'd be having that one in a gallery wrap fo sho! Wonderfulness all around girl!
(12.07.09 @ 07:08 PM)Gina and Mark--these pictures are beautiful!
(12.07.09 @ 07:47 PM)I love these!! Beautiful as always! My fave is the third from the bottom.
(12.10.09 @ 06:45 PM)Oh Clary, completely gorgeous. Yummy colors and yummy couple. I just love the mood this session evokes. Great work!
(11.23.09 @ 01:01 AM)This couple is hot hot hot. Loving all of them!! Their wedding is going to be amazing!
(11.23.09 @ 10:15 AM)What a beautiful session! I cannot begin to pick out a favorite. They are all amazing. I think the green door might be my favorite of the favorites. Fantastic!
(11.23.09 @ 12:13 PM)These are beautiful!! I am jealous they got to lay in the leaves. The ground and leaves were sooo wet when we took ours, that we could barely sit for a minute before our clothing got wet.
(11.23.09 @ 12:18 PM)LOVE LOVE LOVE! I have been telling everyone to look at them.... Thank you sooooooo much Clary!
(11.23.09 @ 12:40 PM)yay, laura! i'm so glad you went with clary! the photos are beautiful!
(11.23.09 @ 10:43 PM)these are awesome!!!!! and um, i love that sweet jacket the bride is sporting in the second half of the pics! i have total jacket envy.
(11.23.09 @ 10:44 PM)Beatuiful Couple! Congratulations to Laura & Matt!
(11.24.09 @ 08:36 AM)So beautiful! Love the colors and the leaves!
(11.30.09 @ 12:41 PM)oh, clary, i'm in love with this session!! so many beautiful colors, a dog, a great looking couple + an amazing photographer!! simply beautiful :)
(11.16.09 @ 09:27 AM)These are awesome. I love how some of the colors are muted and others really pop - beautiful pics!
(11.16.09 @ 09:30 AM)Clary, these are gorgeous and you captured Chrissy and Ryan's love, energy, and giggles perfectly! Amazing job!
And omg, those pictures of Nuala are perfection!
(11.16.09 @ 09:33 AM)Clary, these are great! Love the at-home shots and their dog! The Fall colors are great!
(11.16.09 @ 09:42 AM)this session rocks my world! everything about it was perfection- their home, the leaves, the scarf, stephanie... excellent work.
(11.16.09 @ 10:10 AM)Clary, these look great! This bride is sure going to be a gorgeous one! I can't wait to see you rock this wedding :)
(11.16.09 @ 11:07 AM)I wonder if my comment will show up twice, too?? haha These are to die for. Love the one with them lying in the leaves. The fall-ness was perfect for such an adorable, cozy pair!
(11.16.09 @ 11:51 AM)Oh, these are gorgeous! Love the colors and the color of her scarf is perfect. It compliments the fall-ness so well!
(11.16.09 @ 12:23 PM)What a fun, carefree session! I love the way their love bursts through in these photos. This is what photography means to me...capturing people exactly the way they are.
(11.16.09 @ 01:01 PM)I really like the warm feel of this session.
They look so in love!
Amazing!
Love love love these! Chrissy looks gorgeous and Ryan's not too bad either! The colors are amazing. Can't wait to see their wedding photos!
(11.16.09 @ 05:33 PM)Oh my gosh Clary! We love EVERY SINGLE ONE!! We can't wait to see the rest! You are so amazing. We're blown away. And thanks also to all you blog followers! Your comments are all so nice, they made me (Chrissy) tear up! You guys are the best! Stephanie- LOVE the you and Nuala picture (she says "hi" by the way :) )!!! Great behind-the-scenes shot Clary!
(11.16.09 @ 05:37 PM)Beautiful!!!!
(11.16.09 @ 06:34 PM)How adorable! I love the kitchen table shot. That doggie is a doll...I wonder if it is a Wheaten?
(11.16.09 @ 06:44 PM)Jodie- Nuala is a wheaten! She is exactly 12 weeks old in the pics- so doesn't have that full wheaten coloring yet- but she is just a doll puppy! I love terriers!! Now, I'll try not to post this 3 times!
(11.16.09 @ 07:21 PM)Beautiful! You really captured the fall romance and colors!
(11.16.09 @ 11:23 PM)Nuala looks like a baby sandy awww.
(11.17.09 @ 04:59 AM)Adorable couple!!!! I want them to be my friends!! LOL and your pics are just beautiful!!!
(11.17.09 @ 07:23 AM)That is one cute dog! The couple ain't bad either! I love that some of the photos are in their home. Perfection! I can't wait to see this couple's wedding.
(11.17.09 @ 08:23 AM)Once again, Clary hits it out of the park. Gorgeous! The kitchen is so cute! And that Nuala- she looks like she gives real good cuddles.
(11.17.09 @ 08:38 AM)Chrissy- I have been reading about Wheatens and think they seem just perfect for us...and little Nuala confirms that a Wheaten may be in our future! Enjoy every minute with Clary- she is magical.
(11.17.09 @ 06:28 PM)Jodie- If you ever want to meet Nuala to see if wheatens are right for you, or have any questions feel free to email me- Clary can pass on my email to you. I absolutely love her though- she is so adorable and smart and wonderful. Wheatens are a great breed- they have the terrier spunk but she is definitely (atleast a little) more laid back than other terrier puppies I've had (I have experience with wire fox terriers and welsh terriers). She's still got her share of hyper- but she is still very puppy of course, haha. And she loves EVERYONE. She is very very friendly. You'll love them, I'm sure!!
(11.17.09 @ 10:27 PM)Love the session ! the leaves are amazing, and I'm so glad you utilize it so well ! we don't have backgrounds like that here.... *jealous* !
(11.18.09 @ 07:33 PM)These are gorgeous! I love them all. I am a big fan of the at home shots. I also love how Chrissy's blue scarf pots against the fall colors!
(11.19.09 @ 08:49 PM)i LOVE the coffee ones! how cute :) and they are such a cute couple - fabulous pictures, girlie! :)
(11.02.09 @ 07:25 AM)Clary!! What a beautiful surprise! Joe and I are are feeling like celebrities! We both are so happy with your photos--you truly turned a rainy day into something so lovely and cozy :)
(11.02.09 @ 01:37 PM)Aww, they are Jenny and Joe too ! AWESOME ! Clary, you have a talent of making your clients feel comfortable and it shows on their engagement photos ! They look totally relaxed and enjoy themselves ! Can't wait to see their wedding photos, I bet it'll be off the hook !
(11.02.09 @ 04:53 PM)Hello Miss Clary! Fabulous photos and fabulous couple! I can't wait to see what you do with their wedding photos! She is going to be a gorgeous bride :) ~Amanda~
(11.03.09 @ 12:37 AM)oh, clary - this shoot is so perfectly simple and romantic - something i never thought i'd say about a flashing construction arrow! and the shots with the coffee are so great and REAL. oh, how i love these photos :)
(11.03.09 @ 10:19 AM)I like the urban location.
They are very cute together.
:)
Of course you've done it again! I love the pics, and I am impressed at how warm you made it feel, even though I'm sure it was rainy and icky. I am also impressed by the boots over the jeans look...I can never make it work. She looks adorable, though! Cute couple.
(11.04.09 @ 09:07 AM)Okay, too funny seeing this post because I've got an e-session in late November that I had been thinking, "We need to incorporate something that will keep us warm while we shoot this!" so I'm totally inspired by your coffee cups!!! I also love this gal's outfit. It's perfection. Her earrings=awesome!
(11.04.09 @ 02:15 PM)Clary, love the clarity, they are such a gorgeous couple too...
(11.06.09 @ 04:35 PM)You have a gift, Clary. So happy we found you:-)
(10.02.09 @ 12:58 AM)Yay! The majority agreed with me. These are so beautiful! My favorite is the one of them sitting in the field.

(09.28.09 @ 12:10 AM)Were you using your new 35 for some of these? The bokeh in the first one is off the hook! LOVE them all!
(09.28.09 @ 10:39 AM)Love them! I'm so glad you have left us with blog posts on your week off. Really looking forward to meeting you tomorrow!
(08.17.09 @ 12:39 PM)These are perfect!! I can't pick a favorite I love them all. The reflection in the last one is awesome :)
(08.17.09 @ 02:15 PM)You're AMAZING Clary! I love them all! Thank you so much!
(08.17.09 @ 05:11 PM)Damn girl! This is one of my favorite e-sessions ever! I adore the reflection shot and am sick with envy! Incredible!
(08.18.09 @ 09:44 AM)What yummy light!!! I love how the haziness of the light sets such an awesome mood. With a couple this hot I can only imagine how awesome the wedding photos are going to be! Great job Miss Clary :)

(07.13.09 @ 08:13 AM)Those shoes are absolutely DELICIOUS! And with the dress...GAH! I love it! I am also digging the pics of the MoBot space--really great lighting. Makes me want to throw a big party! The white tablecloths with the white hydrangeas--so classic and elegant without being overdone. Just perfect!
(07.13.09 @ 09:36 AM)they are amazing!!!! can't wait to see more pictures!
(07.13.09 @ 10:32 AM)hehe, I commented without leaving my name. duh! the pictures are amazing!! can't wait to see more!!
