Today is Sunday and there’s one thing I love most about Sunday, it’s the only day of the week that I don’t work (usually, unless I have a wedding planned). I love that the whole day is full of no technology, no worries for the day, nothing I have to get done, it’s all about relaxing and enjoying my family. I know there’s obviously a whole lot more about Sunday to enjoy and write about but I’m not focusing on that, I’m focusing on enjoying doing hardly anything. So my picture for today takes place on our fence in front of our home, where I sat today and watched the sunset.

Enjoy

Natalie and Brad were married Oct. 21st, 2009 at the Garden Room on Dickson St. They were married in the outer courtyard and it’s beautiful out there!!! Brad is in the military and they will soon be moving overseas!!! What an adventure! Thanks Brad for serving for our country and thanks Natalie for supporting your husband while he serves!!!
You two were so wonderful! I enjoyed spending the day with you two!
Natalie wore RED wedding shoes!!! I love this trend of wearing shoes that you’ll actually wear again!!! I loved the red with the zebra!!!

Everything fell right into place for these two. In fact this dress was one of the first few she ever tried on!!!

She’s beautiful!

Her aunt let her wear her real diamonds for the wedding!!! How sweet is that!!!

I just snapped this one real quick in the doorway at Pratt Place. I told you she was gorgeous!!!

This may just be my second fav shot of the day, or lets say favorite portrait!

Here’s a fun shot of the guys during the reception with their cigars!

Our intern, Tanja, got this awesome shot of her amazing bouquet!!! The florals were provided by Holiday Island Florists.

My favorite image for the night!!! I can’t take full credit for this shot though! A guest suggested the idea and we all went with it!!! What a beautiful day for a wedding!!!

Congrats Natalie and Brad!!! I wish you two the best!!!!
Enjoy!

We had a Halloween party this morning for my seminary kids. We had a couple guests too so I was super happy!!! I took a group photo and I was so excited to show you all of their lovely costumes, but somehow (which I still haven’t figured this out) they aren’t on my memory card? Not so sure. I even took images of my outfit once I got home and those are the only ones I can see. So unfortunately I can’t post that image since apparently it doesn’t exist, but I do still want to show you what my Halloween costume was!

I’m not much of a Halloween fan. I love the part of creating a costume and all that creative side but I don’t much care for the extreme scariness of it. I don’t like being scared anymore, I used to love it! In fact my best friend Jessica and I used to watch horror movies at my house all the time. We really never got that scared though, we mostly watched them for laughs, ok so maybe we’re a bit morbid but that’s why I love her!
Enjoy!

Hey guys I’ve had some concerns about the contest raised here recently. I’m going to address a few of them real quickly before I get to photos! :) For everyone wondering about the difference in voting and the results, I heavily stressed that the voting had nothing to do with my final decision as to who would win. The voting moved these girls forward through the entire contest while the final meeting I had with the two of them was where I finalized my decision. They both put great effort and creativity into this contest and are such awesome girls!!! Before each round began the girls were all emailed very specific rules and expectations so they knew all the rules ahead of time before they chose to continue. With that said I had a super duper hard time choosing who I wanted to win this contest but after meeting with both of them I learned some things that made me choose one over the other, I did however offer Meredith a discounted package for being a trooper and working so hard and getting so much involvement going with her fan base. So in my opinion they are both winners!
Now back to pictures!!! I shot three engagement sessions this weekend of which I am going to post one from each session tonight, but then I will give each guy and gal a personal post over the next three days so no one feels gipped out of a blog post! :) These are just eye candy for now! More to come so keep looking!

Hey everyone! I have a few things to blog about tonight….. so keep on readin! (I just realized this blog is probably better viewed in Firefox for the time being).
First is remember the bridal fair is THIS weekend! Yippeeee! It’s at the John Q. Hammons Center in Rogers from 12:30-5pm. Be sure to check us out, we’ll be giving away a free wedding photography package!!!!
Next is all about Misty and Scott…… They are the sweetest couple ever! They were married at St. Catherine’s at Bell Gable . Congrats! Here’s something to curb your photo appetite…..
Did you know that the engineer who build this chapel didn’t use any plans and stored all the details in his head while the church was under construction!!!

I just love that Misty wore these blue shoes as her “something blue” !!!! Wearing non traditional wedding shoes is the way to go ladies!


Hey there’s Nilo Videography! He’s on my favorite vendors list! Be sure to check out his work, it’s great!
More to come tomorrow~
