Jeff + Abby...........

I have to start out this post by saying that I'm sorry to Abby for forgetting to post their engagement session pictures on the blog. She thought I didn't like them because I forgot!! Sorry Abby, honest mistake, I PROMISE!!!! I've posted a few more pics of their wedding to give them their due. Jeff and Abby are such a fun couple!!! We had a blast shooting their wedding. The whole time i was editing their wedding, i couldn't help but notice how much they were smiling and laughing in their pictures. Thanks for making us smile guys!!! On to their pics:

Ellie is 18!!!.... months....

Our daughter is 1 1/2 years old now!! I thought i'd post some pics up since people are always asking. Here they are......

She sits in a regular chair now at the dinner table..... sometimes.....

It has finally come to her attention that her dad is a photographer. Now, when i have the camera out for pics and she sees it, she runs over and gets right in the face of the camera and smiles. too cute!

.....no, YOU are the best!!........

smiling again for the camera......

Mike & Amanda....

Wow... What a fun wedding! Really, all you actually need to know about this wedding is.... there was a "dance off" between Mike and one of the bridesmaids!! That is a first for us. We have never actually witnessed a dance off before (at a wedding). That pretty much sums up the fun level of their wedding. I don't know what it is about the weddings that we have been asked to capture this year, but we have been witness to some awesome parties and incredibly fun weddings. We could not ask for anything else!!!! Here are some preview pics:

I LOVE her dad's expression......

.... Like I said, it was a party.....

Olympics....

As if i needed yet another reason to be glued to the tv at night, the olympics has arrived. I am completely addicted. You know it's bad when you find yourself watching badminton!!! the only problem is that I am staying up late because I just have to watch every race. Please tell me i'm not the only one in this boat..... anyone......?? Here's a link to the coverage at the olympics..

Jamie + Matt......

What a fun wedding to be a part of!!! It was simply a blast! Jamie and Matt are both just fun people and their bridal party was just that... a party. There was some awesome and crazy dancing at the reception, which is ALWAYS fun to watch and take pics of. I'm really not sure what else to say other than that it was very fun! Oh, and they took me up on my no hustle discount(see below), which is also always fantastic.

I LOVE this shot!!!

My favorite dancing shot in a loooong time, maybe ever.....

Jon + Kellie....

I met up with Jon and Kellie to shoot their engagement session in Royal Oak. Super fun! They also had a great idea for their reception to make number cutouts and take pics of them to display as table numbers for their reception. I have included a few of my favorites of those as well. They will be getting married on 08.23.08
