Yesterday evening we were out in the full sun and heat downtown Toledo! But this was nothing to these two love birds! (they lived in Florida for awhile) and Brooks is originally from New Mexico ~ so they are well aware of hot. We had fun walking the streets and laughing. I couldn’t even get Kendra to NOT smile…the results are below. They will become husband and wife in July and I can’t wait! Here are a few of my favorites from yesterday’s session.

This is where I asked them not to smile but to be serious…I have several of these shots. Kendra was looking to see if Brooks was smiling because she couldn’t stop smiling. I thought it was cute!

For those of you who like to ‘blog’ and follow up on the latest – you might already know this –
We put a counter on the bottom of the blog screen, you can click on it to see who has been lookin’! Well atleast how many and where. Click on the location link on the left and you can actually see where you are all coming from! (I thought it was interesting!)
AND since my little counter has hit over 1,000 hits, I thought I would mention that I would love to hear from you all! Please leave me comment on the various posts and tell me what you like or what you don’t like – I’m pretty good at handling criticism and wouldn’t turn down a compliment. So please, go ahead – don’t be shy and leave a comment for me to see ~

Jillian wanted some fun beachy pics from their cruise wedding trip in some ‘relaxed attire’. Thankfully we got some time to do just that before the rain came down in the morning before their wedding ceremony! Here are just three of my favorites ~

from our recent cruise to the Bahamas

One of my favorite shots of Ben on the trip.

This was our one souvenir we brought back with us for Grant ~ Here’s Ben ‘testing’ it out…we have yet to get Grant to keep it on!

If you’ve cruised before, you know exactly what this is. If you haven’t it’s an elephant created from a bath towel that the staff makes for each cabin every night (a different creature every night)

WOW! What another great wedding we had on Saturday! Jean & Dustin are such an awesome couple! I think I’m still laughing at Dustin’s facial expressions and funny remarks ~ Thank goodness the rain stopped in time for some fun photos outside! When Jean told me that the guys would be wearing kilts, instead of a traditional tuxedo – I was thinking…ooooh this ought to be fun! And let me tell you – it was and well, you’ll see! I hope they don’t mind (should I give this post a PG-13 rating?) HA! Also, I should mention the dance floor was pretty full most of the night, but A LOT of the men where occupying it! Dustin is a ‘lifelong’ member of the BGSU Rugby team and let me just say they can get rowdy. Something about the HAPPY DANCE and some surf song….(?) I was clueless too! And thanks to Matt for the caterpillar show! Anyway, Jean & Dusty – enjoy your sneak peak! Here are just a small handfull of my favorites! Thanks again for letting Mary & I be part of your day! Congratulations!
