Kathleen & Jim were married in a self-uniting ceremony with their friends in August. They've been having a non-traditional wedding; doing little bits at a time. For their pictures, they wanted to capture their trip in a hot air balloon around Somerset, PA.
First we went to the Laurel Highlands and took some gorgeous pictures back in the woods. They chose the spot sight-unseen, and it was perfection. Kathleen made it through almost the whole session without a spot on her white pants (till the last little bit - oops!).
Then we headed to meet the balloon company, Winds Aloft. We watched them put together the balloon, then Jim & Kathleen hopped in for their adventure. I followed from the ground in my car, and was able to capture the landing as well. It was a beautiful day.

To celebrate going full-time photographer (officially!), I decided to take a photo trip out west. If you've been following along, you already go to see a few of the photoshoots I was able to capture while there. These are some of the behind the scenes while we traveled. My mom was nice enough to come along so that I didn't have to travel alone. She made a great photography assistant!
