Cathy & Dave...Wedding Photography (Part 1)

I know some of you are anxious to see some pics from Cathy & Dave's big day, so I thought I would go ahead and get some up here on the blog for your viewing pleasure. :-)

Cathy & Dave were married yesterday at the very beautiful Powell Gardens. We had fretted a little over the weather since it was predicted to rain all afternoon and evening...but it turns out we had nothing to worry about!

Cathy getting into her fabulous dress and making herself all gorgeous and what not...





Oh, and little Daniel getting all suited up. Too cute!



How did people manage weddings before cell phones? They sure come in handy on a wedding day! ;-)



When we first arrived at the gardens yesterday, it was quite chilly and very overcast. Though the beautiful flowers were doing their best to brighten up the landscape...



Then the second Cathy stepped out of the bridal changing area...the sun came out and it became just the perfect day. Swear! I love it when that happens. :-)







Positively glowing...



Cathy has the most amazing smile!





Dave's turn...



Lookin' very handsome...





And when it was time for Dave to see Cathy for the first time, he could hardly wait. I had to watch him like a hawk, he kept trying to sneak a peak as she made her way down the path. Which was really cute...it showed how anxious he was to see her.



It was a very nice few moments for them. Sweet! Love it. Sigh. :-)



Yep, you guys look awesome!



Daniel was crazy about Cathy's bouquet...



Oh, I don't want to forget the rest of the fellas...



I have no idea...



And the ladies...



And just a few more!
GORGEOUS...



HAPPY...



THE END (for now)...



But check back for more tomorrow! :-)

Wolverine...and lil sis

Maddox had some money to spend the last time we were at Target. He wanted to get a Wolverine claw.



I tried to talk him out of it. What would he do with it? Wouldn't it get old quick? But it was his money, and he insisted he wanted it. He was right...I was wrong. It's been quite the favorite thing around here. He loves this claw, and now wants to save up more money to buy a second claw. Because the boy in the commercial has a claw on each hand and does cool flips. I explained that a second Wolverine claw wouldn't give him the ability to do flips...and he assured me that the boy just already knew how to do flips. ;-)

So I took some pics of him enjoying his Wolverine claw earlier this week...







And just for fun, a silly pic of Evey. :-)

Happy EARTH Day!

In honor of Earth Day, I would like to share some images of a different nature...pictures that feature a subject with beautiful long limbs and amazing strength. ;-)

These images were taken of one special tree, by special request, last September. I had never before focused all of my attention on one single tree. It was an interesting experience, definitely eye-opening to focus on all the little details that you might otherwise never notice. Anyways, hopefully my fellow treehuggers will enjoy...



















Happy EARTH Day!

Liberty Memorial

It had been a long time since I just wandered the Liberty Memorial, taking pics for fun. So I spent a little extra time hanging around after my session last weekend to explore and randomly shoot whatever caught my eye.

My favorites...





I tried to play around a little with the glass roof to the museum, catching reflections.





I almost fell down some steps after shooting this lamppost. Well, I'm not gonna lie...I did actually fall down one step but caught myself before totally wiping out or worse...dropping my camera! I tried to pretend it didn't happen...but I'm sure someone must have seen my lack of grace and had a good laugh at me. :-P









My FAVORITE shot...I'm crazy for this one. I love abstract stuff...and I really like how this one kind of sucks you into the frame. I'll be finding somewhere in my home to display - I'm thinking it would be a cool canvas...



I thought it was neat that you could see the tower through the transparent banner...







Nice postcard shot... ;-)









This last one is kind of whacky...and I enjoy whacky. :-)
