Happy Anniversary To US!!

Tomorrow (Monday) is our first anniversary! Yay! I cannot believe it has already been a year. When people tell you that it flies by, they are not kidding. In honor of our special day, we will be out of the office on Monday. I thought I would repost some of my favorite wedding photos (shot by Brooks + Leighanne Whittington of Dallas TX). You can click on the images to make them bigger.


I love this shot of my eyes - notice the glasses? I wore mine since I do everyday of my life. I recommend all you glasses wearers out there do the same.
I dont know what, but I thought something was really funny:
I love color. More specifically, I love pink. Pink dress + pink tights + pink shoes = total funness:
Dress fluffing:
Nate gets dressed:
Nate had the coolest Nikes for the wedding, they matched our colors perfectly and he actually got to be comfortable:
I love this shots of three Nates:
This is me coming to see Nate for the first time before the ceremony. It is probably our favorite shot of the day.
Seeing each other for the first time before the ceremony:
I dont noramlly take bridal shots or like them, but I vainly love this shot of me!
We made cardboard cutouts of our animals since no one would let them come. Some of you may have seen them hanging out at our office:
Smashing the glass:
First dance:
This is what dinner at our house normally looks like, begging animals:
Cake is the best part of any wedding, I still dream fondly of ours:
My dad "air fiddling":
End of the night shot in the elevator:
Our programs:
Ceremony arrangements:
We had 2 different centerpeices - this is the pink one, snapdragons and candles. We had a friend make all of the cement base tiles for each centerpeice:
The green one is orchids, wheat grass and candles:
My bouquet rocked! It had brown flowers!:
Toasting flutes featuring Marge & Homer Simpson:
Cake display. We love cake and wanted ours to be a highlite:
Here you can watch an awesome Wedding Day Recap that Kristyn from Castle Video put together for us of our wedding day! Please pardon Nates shirtlessness in the beginning.



Our flowers were all done by Emerald City and the cake was Zingermans. Our DJ was the wonderful and charming, Mary Ann Ross. We had Kristyn from Castle Video and Miriam at the Wedding Connection was our fabulous officiant.

In Memory of My Friend

It's been a very sad week here for us. On Monday Murphy the dog passed away. She is my families dog and I have known her since was a tiny puppy. She was one of my best friends and was so much more than just a family pet. I am going to miss her tremendously. Her loss was unexpected and devastating. Here she is last Christmas enjoying one of her many holiday bandanna's.

We'll all miss you girl.

Jacqui + Frank are Married!

We are very lucky photographers because we get to work with people like Jacqui and Frank. They are just so nice and considerate. We love them.

Their church in Plymouth was really beautiful and had many great photo spots. They had a gorgeous fall themed reception at the Hotel Baronette in Novi.


I think Frank was nervous!:
Cool church ceiling:
Hooray for bubbles!:



I love this one:
Cake cutting occasionally results in heavy laughter:
Ooo, I love this too:
Their 1st dance was filled with laughter and fun:

Frank lets loose:
Rings on apples:

Jackson: the skateboard baby

Jackson is one now. We photographed him when he was a teeny babe, now he walks. Babies are crazy like that. His daddy owns a skateboard shop, so you know Jackson is going to grow up to be one cool kid. We did this session at our studio - it was our first baby shoot down there - I think it came out well.








I heart this one SO much:


The fam:

Another totally awesome one:

Jackson is a scary skeleton for Halloween:
