Nicole and Jim got married

I could not have asked for a better way to spend my birthday. Seriously Nicole and Jim's wedding was so much fun and their wedding party was a blast. My cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing all day...and you may not recoginize that bright yellow thing in the sky...but it was SUNNY..in fact the first wedding this year that I did that wasn't rainy, cold or windy! Yay! The day was PERFECT. Nic had some of my favorite vendors too...Sabrina from Proposing Dreams and Mike from Thunderstorm media! I also got to shoot with Jerren and I haven't in awhile so I was just beside myself Saturday! Congratulations Nikki and Jimmy and I hope you are having a BLAST in Jamaica. I cannot thank you enough for giving me the best brithday I have had in a long, long time! Here is a quick slideshow of their day...






these girls were so fun and made my job easy






I had a blast in the limo...nothing like old school rap to get the party started


Right as we were trying to get this picture a girl with really short shorts on walked by...guess you can see who everyone was more focused on..hee hee

We had to remind Jim that now he was a maaried man and getting pics with the hooters girls was probably not the best idea haha

driving around downtown in a strecth hummer get s a lot of attention. Not only was the wedding party fun, they were generous too..love this one of Jerren's

you gotta look close at this one...thought it was cool

Nic had the most beautiful eyes

You gotta love a videographer who can multi-task...c'mon ladies...you know we love a guy who isn't afraid to hold a purse! I love Mike from Thunderstorm media!



I love the way the wedding party went crazy during the intros


Hendri's has the coolest checkered floor

Love these shots of Jerren's

Shot Party

Kelly Manno's "Shot Party" was...

Last Sunday Kelly got a bunch of photographers together for a fun urban engagement photo shoot and model shoot. I didn't feel much like shooting...more just like hanging out with other people for a bit, so I didn't get that many great shots. But here's a few of my favorites. I didn't get to shoot the the model (that sounds funny) because it started raining and I went home to work on Sheri's wedding pics.
This is the group that came. I borrowed this shot from stephanie's blog (stevie photography)


this is about half the group. It must have been funny to bystanders

this is jodi, kelly park and Sherry taking pics of me.

cute shot of my sis



interesting fact...you can shoot inside of the metro link station but you can't shoot when the train is coming...I never knew that

YAY! It's FINALLY sheri's turn (and Mike of course...)

Well the time has finally come for my favorite blog stalker's wedding post. I don't even know where to begin. Even with the yucky weather and not getting to really do any pics, this was most of the most special days I have got to share with someone. Sheri has one of those personalities you can't help but love. I swear she is like smiling in every picture...literally beaming.
We joked around at her final consult that this weekend last year I spent 4 hours in a little tavern with the wedding party because we had freezing rain all day...in APRIL...and I'll be darned if it didn't almost happen again.
But she handled it all in stride and didn't let it ruin her day. In fact we are going to go out and do pics when it's nicer. Sheri will be my first trash the dress bride so I am really excited!
Anyways Sheri (and Mike) thanks so much for choosing me to share your day with you. It was truly one of the most special weddings I have ever seen and I wish you both the very best. I hope you are having a fabulous time in Cancun...and I know you have probably already checked my blog 50 times waiting for this post...don't try to lie...ha ha j/j talk to ya soon! Send me some pics from Cancun if ya can!! I am so JEALOUS! Here's a quick slideshow!



Sheri's mom has made it to my all time favorite mom list. SHe was more nervous than Sheri and Mike put together. At one point she kept saying..."i need....I need...I need.." and Sheri busts out " A DOWNER" and I almost peed in my pants laughing,,,Seriously I have never seen a mom more proud of her daughter, In fact when Sheri walked down the Aisle I even almost cried because of how emotional her mom was.


This picture cracks me up because I always strive to get good candids and every time I would try to be sneaky photographer lady Sheri would look at me... This time I waved at her with my pinky as I was trying to focus so it's a little fuzzy but I still love it!

The weather was so yucky that literally this is one of only three pics we took outside on our way to the reception. The wedding party didn't even get off the bus!

LOVE this one



If you knew how conservative Mike is you'd appreciate how funny this picture is...not sure whose Harley this is but he sure did hop right on for a picture!
