Red Gecko Studio bio picture

Hi, I’m Mandie…

I am addicted to shoes, particularly red ones.
I have severe ADD...a blessing and a curse!
I've been using an SLR camera for half of my life.
I don't miss film as a medium as much as I miss the smell of the darkroom and the calming, whooshing waters of the wash basin.
I don't cook, but the love of my life does.
I have a Level 72 Night Elf Druid named Bokeh.
My hubby & I love our little pug like she's a child.
I am a completely hopeless romantic and I still cry at weddings I photograph.
I would love to teach ballroom dancing one day.
…and I’d LOVE to be your photographer!

The Bridal Portrait

Thursday, April 30, 2009 Posted in Weddings

What is the bridal portrait all about?Â It’s all about THE BRIDE!

You know you’ll be glowing the day that your dress is finally altered appropriately, and for the first time you see yourself in the gown of your dreams.Â So why not capture that joy?Â Why wait till the wedding day?Â What if you could hand your husband a gift-sized portrait of yourself, his brand new bride, glowing in the gown, on your very wedding day?Â Perhaps with a little love letter attached?

Enter: the bridal portrait.Â A beautiful portrait of you, created a short while before the wedding day.Â Schedule this shoot on the day of your final fitting and your practice hair-do, and you’ll have a great time and a great image to go along with it!

Stay tuned for the ultimate use of the bridal portrait…Â Father’s Pride!

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my blog!

Posting my recent work on this little bit o' internet is one of the most exhilarating parts of each project I undertake. It's my chance to pick the images I am most excited about right after each wedding or portrait session and put them out into the world with all the love & enthusiasm I have for this work- my dream job.

This journey has become such a wonderful experience and I am excited to share it with you. I hope that you find my images, thoughts, and random musings interesting enough to come back again. Please don't be shy... comment when you feel the urge, and contact me! I really do look forward to hearing from you!

Love,

Mandie

The pics are so amazing! We are so happy and have never seen anything like them! My family was just so excited too! We are so lucky to have found you! Corey and I agreed it was our favorite part of the weekend. Thanks for making the day so special! ~Marianne & Corey

I have no idea what to say other than THANK YOU. These are beautiful. Beautiful. Oh my God, Mandie - you have completely and utterly captured our special day in a way that I was only hoping but never thought it would look like this. May your business grow into an amazing success (I already know it will - look at what you are doing!!!!!!!!!!!) and you have nothing but good fortune in your future. Thank you thank you thank you. I just love them. Some of the shots could easily be in a magazine and they should be. ~A & N
