ATTN PAST WEDDING CLIENTS!

Remember that email I sent you about winter album discounts? Well, this is the last week for your 20% discount! Get your album order in to us by Thursday and you get your sweet discount. When you place your order this week, only half of the album total will be due. The second half is not due until you approve your final design - in about a month. So you get to spread the cost over time. If your album is ordered in February, you'll receive 15% off and if ordered in March, 10% off.

Call me now, right now, I mean it! You don't want to wait and have to pay more - do you?

a couple of things...

thing 1: Can you even beleive that Heath Ledger died!? I can't. I liked him. He was pretty. "10 Things I Hate About You" is one of the best teen romance movies I have ever seen. So sad.



thing 2: I updated our wedding and portrait sites with a crap-load of new images! You need to check it out asap! Let me know what you think too.

Rachael + Chuck Are Getting Married!

Rachael and Chuck are pretty adorable. Their dog Jackson is also pretty adorable. Rachael almost didn't let Jackson come to the session, but he did and he (as well as Rachael & Chuck) rocked it. I have a lot of favorites, so here goes:


Seriously, do you see those ears?:
Maybe my super ultra favorite:

Amanda + Dave are Getting Married!

Amanda and Dave are cool people. Amanda had an awesome coat. Had she not been half my size, I just may have tried to steal it. She also had kick ass shoes. I think that their wedding will be one of my fav's of 2008. No pressure.

I am loving this so much:

I am super duper loving this:
also loving this:


Yeah, I am loving all of these.

Sara + Nate are Married, New Years Eve Style!!

reception: The Dearborn Inn

Sara and Nate know how to throw a party! You know that anyone who gets married on NYE is probably going to be awesome, and they did not disappoint. Their party was classy yet rockin'!

Sara looked incredible. I'm not sure I can think of the words I would need to actually describe it though. Just wow. See for yourself:




I love shiny tables:
gorgeous church:
I love the red back drop, very dramatic:
They had a schnazzy first dance:
They gave u s about 40 minutes to run around the Dearborn Inn and take incredible couple shots for them:
Christmas tree + wedding = double exciting!:

On NYE it snowed....ALOT. Sara was so excited about the snow that we went out for a few shots:
The countdown:
the first kiss of 2008:
The crowd celebrates the new year:
cool pile of hats:
I saw this while I was eating dinner. A neighboring centerpieces candle had melted into a heart!:
Rings on Happy New Year hat!!
rings on poinsettia:

Sara and Nate, we love you so much! Spending time with you and your awesome family & friends was such a wonderful way for Nate and I to ring in the new year! Thank you!

Laura + Bobby are Married!

Laura + Bobby had such a cool and unique wedding! We love that we get to work with people who don't want to have a cookie cutter wedding. Laura was stunning. Her dress was amazing (maybe one of the best I have seen) and her hair just went with it so well. So there's a lot of photos of her!

I don't know Laura all that well, but I am almost positive that she cannot wait to see these images! So she gets an extra lot of photos. They are smaller to accommodate the number I posted, but you can just click on each one to see it bigger.



Men have it so hard while getting ready for weddings:

Oooo! So pretty!:
One of total favs from the day:
Seeing each other before the ceremony:


Laura was a trooper and took her coat off for a few shots (it was VERY cold):

Congrats Laura + Bobby! Nate and I had a blast with you!
