Wedding Details: Farrah + Victor

Hello all!  This summer, I was a bridesmaid in a friends wedding.  I've know her for....like....probably close to 4 years now?....something like that.

Anyhow, she got married this past summer, and I couldn't be more happy to stand up with her as she tied the knot!  I'll be honest, the morning of the wedding was relatively hectic ;)  But the truth and fact is that, looking back, I believe God showed himself present during that morning.  It was in the prayer that surrounded the morning and in the way Farrah and Vic are with each other: patient, loving, kind, and supportive.  Just an immense reminder of God's rich blessings....those little moments in the hectic-ness that prove that God is still in control and that he is sovereign......

If that makes any sense ;)

Thankyou SO MUCH Farrah for being such an incredible friend!  Words cannot express the support you have been to me the past few years of my life.  You have been Jesus to me.  Forgiving, loving and PATIENT ;)  Love you and Vic very much.  All the best in the years to come.....

And for the rest of you, here's some "getting ready/detail-ish" photos from the wedding ;)  Enjoy!





I realize that the picture on the right is totally cliche......but whatcha gonna do about it? ;)


Vic and Farrah met at starbucks.....so the left picture seemed only fitting ;)



Hello friend!

Aaahhhhhh.....Days off!

So I'm trying to think of something really witty and cool and funny to open this post with.....and I have now sat here staring at the wall for a SOLID 10 minutes....and I've got nothing..... Blach!

Anyhow. Here's some things I'm excited about:

1) The Fall! The cool air is kinda warming my heart right now....and I now get to pull out all of the scarves that have been hibernating throughout the spring and summer.....

2) The end of october because... I will be going to visit family in Cambodia! Yes....cambodia....I am SO EXCITED ;) I've been so often to Uganda and I'm pumped to go somewhere new (for now ;) AND, I'm going to take a ka-jillion photos and then I'm gonna come home and I'm gonna spend a ka-jillion hours looking through and editing them all ;) I dream BIG!

3) Next weekend....because a lovely friend of mine is getting married and I get to be a bridesmaid (and might I add that the dresses are spectacular ;)

And one more thing I'm excited about? The following photos..... More to come!

Wedding details from a lovely friends wedding.....


Engagement photos (it's THEIR wedding next weekend....which means that she has incredible taste in choosing bridesmaids dresses ;)


Family photos including the most adorable baby on planet earth (and a couple pretty awesome and relaxed parents as well ;)



Have an awesome night!!

Wedding: Dana + Brad

So, I officially get the award for most inconsistent blogger (which means, because I've now awarded myself.....I should go celebrate with some chocolate cake and maybe a glass of red wine ;) Mwahaha!

Anyhow, here's a wedding I was able to be a part of that happened, yes....2 months ago ;( Sigh! I'm terrible with procrastinating.....

Dana and Brad are somewhat 'in the family' now ;) Dana's brother is married to my sister.....which means that my nieces are also her nieces! Which is pretty fun.....and wait a sec! I just figured that means that my nieces are also Brad's nieces! Which means that, not only do I procrastinate.....but I'm a little slow on the pickup too :)

Dana and Brad were married at the beginning of July. It was a smoking awesome day (which isn't superior for lighting......but made for the most perfect blue skies......Aaahhhhhh!) I saw lots of familiar faces at the wedding. My sister made the cake, a past roommate of mine (Dana's sister) sang the most beautiful song during the ceremony (she's gets the award for most beautiful voice in the WORLD) and my little niece was the flowergirl :) It was a lovely day.....

And because I've procrastinated a LONG time before posting these.....I've included a MOTHERLOAD of photos :)

So here you go....the motherload ;)




After getting ready, we met up with the boys at Crescent Beach on (un-officially, by my standards) the brightest and warmest day of the summer! Haha! If I'm not correct, Dana got a tan on her wedding day (which is pretty awesome).....honestly though, BEAUTIFUL day :)



Random thought: I NEVER knew there was such a thing as white gerber's with BLACK centers (I've never been a big huge flower lover though....I've only really ever known what roses are ;) Needless to say, I absolutely loved these bouquets with the black centered gerber's....




If you look up the word "adorable" in the dictionary, you might find a portrait of Dana right beside it ;) Haha!

And shoe shots like this will never cease to be some of my favorites :)


And then off to the most perfect hill on the most perfectly warm day :) I felt a little bad dragging the ladies up there....I got all this wierd strawlike stuff all over my feet/shoes....but, oh man, I love these photos the most :)


Dear wedding party: Thankyou for climbing onto the top of this hill with the sun glaring in your eyes in order for me to get these photos. And thankyou bridesmaids for proving to me that girls can jump VERY high in platform heels and still look classy and cool(even though this photo doesn't prove what actually went down ;)


And yes, the following picture is total cheese.....but cheese is good sometimes. I mean, who wants a regular hamburger when you can have a CHEESE burger. And, you know....what's a cracker without some cheese ;) ...I'll stop now...

And then to the church! I really like this one of Brad (don't know why...as usual ;)

I went to Uganda once with the pastor who officiated. Life changing trip....but no big deal ;)


And then a little reception! My sister made the cake (so this is my official plug for her ;)

So, in order for your table to get some food, you had to construct something out of this envelope of paper items on your table (I think this was right.....I was so busy taking photos ;) But this one table constructed the most intense CPR scene.....it was fantastic (and Dana's a respiratory therapist....so it was also sorta sentimental ;) That is, If you consider CPR sentimental.... HAH!


Anyhow, one more photo. One of the bridesmaids brought these glasses. Good show ;) I also appreciate the half thumbs up that Bradley sported for this photo. Classic ;)

And that is it! Have an awesome labor day weekend!! I have a few more photos that I need to share (an engagement session and another family session).....so those to come "soon" ;)

Sneak Peek....and I Jumped again ;)

Just wanted to share my favorite photo from the last wedding I was able to photograph! I scouted out the place the day before, and stared up at this hill and pictured THIS (the photo below) in my head....and told myself that if the weather (and wedding party) agreed, I was gonna make it happen.

And, as you can see, "both" agreed and the "photo" happened and I was grinning from ear to ear with the camera in front of my face the entire time....seriously, just loved it ;)

Anyhow, enjoy! More to come....



Oh! And in other news, I went BUNGEE JUMPING!! ;) I went with the same friends I went skydiving with a few years back and I must say...it was QUITE fun ;)

And I know that the picture isn't proof that I actually jumped, but you don't really get the t-shirt until you jump, so it's maybe...kinda....proof ;)

Wedding: Heather + Joe

It's been almost a month since I took these! Crazy...time is flying...

I am so grateful to Heather and Joe for letting me shoot their wedding! It rained right before the ceremony, but then held off from the beginning of the ceremony and then thru the rest of the day! Woohoo! And honestly: I couldn't have asked for a more relaxed and trusting couple to take pictures of on this day. An absolutely special thanks to the two of them ;) And congratulations!

Anyhow, here's some of my favorites...





























Thanks again Heather and Joe! And a special thanks to my friend Rae, who came along with me and took some awesome photos as well! Thankyou!
