Hayden + Caitlin Forever

First, I have to admit I stole this post title from my friend Lauriana, a featured photographer on the knot (and she won an award there, but I cannot find the link)! Oh yeah, and you may find random pictures of me on her site -- I've modeled for her before! ;) Anywho, she always titles her weddings Bride + Groom (names) Forever. And I just love it. If you remember, their engagement was in August, their shower was in November, and we were delighed to take part in their December wedding.

This photo is by Lauriana, the rest were taken by me. It's quite obvious. :)

Caitlin had a fun bachelorette party -- lingerie shower and ice skating. It has been years since I skated and I had a blast. I also enjoyed meeting some of her friend's and Hayden's family.

Saturday was filled with the rehearsal and some last minute preparations in the hotel room.

 

The big day was a bit overcast, but thankfully the rain stayed away until after the ceremony. Whew! Caitlin was beautiful, Hayden handsome, and the rest of of ladies and gents had a blast!

 



 

Oh, and this last picture is a Lauriana as well.. see my handsome hubby on the left... ;)

 

 

Wedding Coordinating

I have always wanted to be a wedding coordinator. I just love it and think it fits my skill suits very well! Lucky me -- I was able to fully coordinate a wedding this past summer. It was a fantastic experience. The day was cray cray, and I still want to be a wedding coordinator -- just call me J.Lo!

Prepping for the rehearsal dinner with the ladies from my church

Preparing with wine and "The Wedding Planner," the night before. ;)

My gift to them -- mugs and a plate that everyone signed at the rehearsal dinner.

The groom's adorable sisters!

How cute are they?

The girls were told to find pink dresses (MOH in mustard) -- I thought they were so cute!

Toasts from the best man.

I thought I lost this picture on my phone, so glad I found it!

I was so glad to take part in this special day. The whole wedding was planned in a matter of weeks (no, it was not a shotgun wedding, it was a military schedule wedding). It was crazy and that was before I stepped in as coordinator. The family said they were blessed to have me, and I really enjoyed it. Anyone else need a wedding planner?

Sarah's Wedding Weekend

I promised pictures from the wedding and it is time to make good on that! Sarah was one of my besties in high school and I love her dearly! She was in my wedding, and I was so blessed to be a part of hers! If you remember, I was up north for her shower earlier this year. Their wedding was beautiful and so full of love. It was incredibly meaningful and I think everyone could feel both their love for the Lord and each other. And I do not say this lightly, it is not something that I say about every wedding that I attend!

Let's start with the professional pictures from the wedding...


Sarah and I -- always goofy! But isn't she beautiful?! And the flowers were lovely!
And I really liked my dress!

My date is just so handsome!

And the rest from my phone. ;)



What's a bachelorette party without a panty line?!?



Curly hair, skinny jeans, cute top, and heels -- my kind of party outfit!

 

The beautiful bachelorette!

And this is the point where I could not longer organize the pictures how I want, resize them, or add text. So you get to just look at them and imagine the text. And I will strongly consider moving everything over to wordpress. Got it?


The end. I love you, dear Sarah!



Scott and Joy's Wedding!

The main reason that we went to New Mexico was for Scott and Joy's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and I was so glad to be able to attend. I instagrammed a lot -- purely to keep those who could not make the trip in the loop! Okay, and because I just love taking pictures! If you noticed that I have on glasses in the rest of the pics, it is because my contacts got tossed! That was part of the craziness of 9 in a home. haha Anywho, here are the pictures from the ceremony and reception.

Line Dancing

Craziness with my partner in crime / dance partner Lindsey!

My handsome date!

Life happens. I take pictures. I happen to like to share my pictures. Deal with it. More craftiness should come soon!
