Chris and Larry

Saturday was another wedding renewal. Phew! Weddings are exhausting, challenging and tons of fun too!

Here's a quick preview from Chris and Larry's wedding...



This ring belonged to Chris's grandmother so it holds a lot of sentimental value.

I attempted to get a similar shot of Flodale at her wedding but felt like this time I got it right. I'm always striving to improve so it's exciting when I learn something new! :)

This is Chris with her 99 year old grandfather. He walked to the church and even danced with the bride at the reception. How cool is that?!

The happy couple!

On the Run

I'm working hard to process and beautify all the photos from Denis and Flodale's wedding. I've still got a looooong ways to go but I wanted to share one more photo before the slide-show goes up. This is the associate pastor of our church along with his wife. Both were a part of the wedding party. And when I saw all the gulls along the shore - well, I knew I wanted this shot and they were willing to play along. How fun! :)

Tomorrow is another wedding renewal.... So I may be pretty sporadic on here over the next two weeks! But I will get a few pictures up ASAP.

Hope everyone is doing well!!! I will catch up with everyone as soon as I can breathe. :)

Denis and Flodale Preview

Yesterday was Denis and Flodale's wedding. Actually they were renewing their vows for their 20th wedding anniversary!! But doesn't she make a beautiful bride?

I will be posting more pictures (and of course a slide show too) as I get them finished.

Tomorrow

Wedding tomorrow. Sure would appreciate prayer cuz I'm having equipment struggles making me even more stressed and nervous! *sigh* Then another wedding on Saturday....

Festival in the Park

The Wall

God has been soooo good to me! He opened the door for us to display some photos at a local coffee shop (Earth Tones). I've ordered 5 8x10's (the top four pix and one other that I don't have permission to include on my blog) and 4 16x24's. I'm very excited about this opportunity!!!! It was TOUGH choosing which photos I should display. I had several others that I wanted to display but for one reason or another they didn't work out. But I'm happy with all of these too.

Other news.... I've been busy taking pictures for church. The worship team was invited to participate in a local festival so I took tons of pix there and made them into a slides how. I think they will be including them on the churches website.... And this past week I took photos of our VBS. I just finished the slide show tonight. I don't dare post though cuz the kids are all wearing name tags. Sorry!

We went to Darien Lake last week. What an adventure. We got on the Twister and got stuck UPSIDE DOWN for almost 10 minutes!!!! I was pretty nauseous after that for about an hour and poor Heather felt sick the rest of the day. We did, however, get free tickets (not cuz we got stuck upside down though!) so hopefully we'll get a chance to get back there before the end of summer.

I have 2 weddings next week. YIKES! I will be crazy busy trying to pump out all those pictures!!!!

Heather went to camp this week. It's her first time going to camp. She's not much of an 'outdoors' person. But she was excited about it... Sure hope she's having fun!

Romeo gets his stitches removed on Friday.

Next week is cousins camp. Jessi is very excited. She will be meeting my cousins daughter for the first time. (Does anyone know the relationship of the two girls? Would that be second cousins? Cousins once or twice removed??? hmmmm....)

Jessi is also excited cuz my mom signed her up for another session of gymnastics. That starts in September.

I have three picnics I'm supposed to attend - one on Thursday, one on Saturday and one on Sunday.... I'm picnicked out just thinking about it!

I would really like to get out on the bike again. I can't seem to consistently get out there. But I'm doing better than last summer!

Enough ramblings.... I will bore you no more! :)

N is for Neutered

Romeo has had a tiny taste of what Teena went through. He was neutered yesterday and came home this morning. His sex is now listed as N. Anywayz, he's not quite his energetic self today... Doesn't he look pathetic?!
