Jennifer & Chris' Engagement.

Some posts are just intimidating.  Intimidating because the people in them are just so special to me.  Jennifer came into our lives probably 6 years ago.  I cannot remember the exact day, but I know it was before Stewart was born and he will turn 5 years old this weekend.  She was our babysitter then, and she watched Elizabeth and Molly during the day while I was in the hospital with Stewart.  At the time she was in high school and was working part-time for my husband, Chris. She has grown to be a dear friend to our family. That is why I was so excited about her engagement to her Chris.  I was even more excited when she asked me to take their engagement photos.

Our original location didn't work out, and I think that was for the best.  Jennifer had told me she wanted flowers, and I had driven past these flowers just a few days before.  They were in front of my friend, Amy's, farm and I knew that she wouldn't mind.  We were literally on the side of the highway with cars passing at 55 MPH, but you would never know it.  These two are just so much in love!

There are just so many from their session that I love.  They both told me that they weren't photogenic, but I would have to disagree.

Jennifer and Chris' story is a lot like mine and my Chris'.  They were friends before they were a couple.  I think that can make for an even stronger relationship. 

I mean could they be any cuter?

Jennifer was such a good sport even though we were all three itching like crazy after the shoot.

Love this one.

And this one among many others.

I really don't know if I could pick an absolute favorite.  They just made it too difficult, but this is definitely a front runner.

Jenn and Chris, I am so, so happy for you!  I cannot wait until your wedding this December!  Love you!

Bonnie's Bridal Session - Sneak Peek.

Bonnie and Tyson's big day was a couple weeks ago, so I thought I would share a few favorites from Bonnie's bridal session.  We decided on my house for her session and this one is looking out our bedroom door.

One of my favorites.

Just a little peek.  I plan to do a more complete post soon.  Right now I have to go to a swim meet!!

Product Spotlight - CD Cases.

My brides receive their image CD/DVD and slideshow DVD in a custom CD Case.  I custom design these and include a photo from their special day.

These cases have a magnetic closure and are a beautiful way to store your CD/DVD.

Clients who purchase their session CD (mini-sessions not included) will now also receive their CD in one of my custom CD cases.

Rick & Deloris - slideshow.

I just finished up Rick & Deloris' slideshow and wanted to share it.  They are such a neat couple. I had so much fun working with them and was so honored to be part of this wonderful day!

Enjoy!

Deloris & Rick - Just the Details.

How better to start the new year than with a wedding? Rick and Deloris decided to start 2010 off as husband and wife.  I was so thrilled to be there to photograph their day. 

January 2nd was a very cold day, but you wouldn't know it inside the Fayetteville Museum where the ceremony and reception took place.  These gorgeous hydrangeas and roses were as beautiful as a summer day. Ivy Wreath did a beautiful job on the flowers.

  But let me backtrack just a little. As the guest arrived they walked through this courtyard.  I just loved the touch of the wreaths with the white bows. So simple and elegant.

I have been to many receptions at the museum, but I have never seen a wedding there.  It was so neat to see how it was transformed for the ceremony.

My dear friend, Monica, was my second shooter for this wedding.  She was so much fun to work with and I will be calling on her again. She took this cool shot of the chairs, and I loved the centerpieces for the cocktail tables.

Deloris' dress was stunning! Here's a detail shot of it.

Then we took it outside.

The shoes. I LOVED that they were Deloris' something blue!

Deloris and Rick's rings were gorgeous.  I thought Rick's was so unique!

I loved Deloris' bouquet of hydrangeas.

I love seeing things through the eyes of others.  I really like this shot of the flowers at the alter Monica took. 

And the bow on the flowergirl's dress.

I love this one of the bouquets. 

This post was all about the details, but I couldn't end it without a favorite of Rick and Deloris.  You would never know it was like 24 degrees when this was taken would you? Deloris was just a great sport. They are such a wonderful couple.

Deloris and Rick are such a neat couple and this was such a neat wedding. I will be sharing more as I edit them. 

Deloris and Rick, I hope you like the little sneak peek and thanks once again for letting me share in yur day.
