Julian and Michelle's Sneak Peek among other things

Dear world. This is the "end" of a very very busy week full of photoshoots, designing nametage and manual covers and many other things for our youth group summer camp that is coming up, sleepovers, movie watching (Inception is amazing), editing, wedding shoot coordination, rehearsal dinner, wedding, and trying to fathom the fact that we're leaving in the morning with the youth ministry for this camp, and remembering that i have to pack...:P And that this next week will most likely be far more sleep-depriving and exhausting than this week has been and will give me many moments of "What were you thinking Saturday night when you stayed up and blogged when you could have been sleeping???" And I will answer, "This is life the way i love to live it, always going, always having fun, full of fellowship and late nights and lots of dancing, and made complete by the love of Christ, my friends and family, and brides and grooms who look stunning against the bokeh from my 50 mm lens."

Kendall's Kids

This is a fun little shoot that I did with some kids from our church and their friend/"adopted sister." 

Enjoy!

Don and Tahra's Wedding!!

"This is SO my wedding." was what Tahra said as we all rode in the limo toward her venue from the hotel room. She kept laughing with her bridesmaids and telling them how beautiful they looked and talking about how excited she was to see Don. 

We made it to the gorgeous venue, the Mira Vista Golf Club and everyone rushed around finishing getting ready for the day.

The beautiful chapel was full, and though everyone was quiet when Tahra walked in, soon enough the sound of happy tears filled the room. The happily united couple said their vows and kissed and walked back out amid the sounds of joy from their friends and family. 

The reception was a great party complete with gorgeous evening light from the bay filtering in through the big windows, cha-cha lessons from the DJ, and so much fun!

Congratulations Don and Tahra!
