And….since a post is boring without an image AND people have told me I can make anyone smile…I thought I would post an image from a local zoo from our trip to South Carolina…hahah.

Doesn’t that just make your day?

This past Saturday was yet another fine day for a wedding here in Northwest Ohio! The weather was not too cold and not too warm for a April spring day [a tad bit breezy, but we will take it] ! With the colors Sara & Ross chose, it almost felt like 4th of July, which is one of my favorite times of the year so it was neat to be a little out of season with those feelings for the 4th. The bridesmaids in red dresses with blue & red flowers ~ such a great combo! It was so clear that Sara & Ross make a terrific couple with huge smiles all day long! Thank you for choosing us to spend the day with you & your families! Enjoy your sneak peek! I hope you both are having a blast in Jamaica!!!

What an amazing day Saturday was! I think my mouth was sore a bit on Sunday for all the laughing I did… the bridal party was perfect! Emily looked gorgeous and Dave was so happy to be her husband. I have to warn you there are alot of images here. I simply could not decide. We had a lot of time after the ceremony and everyone was really into being in front of the cameras – and I mean really - even the guys, especially the guys.  To note – the pyramid was their idea, I can’t take full credit. I just held my breath [from laughing of course] enough to hold the camera still for a few shots.   The day was perfect, too. Even hot a bit but so loving it for April -

So enough of the talk, let’s begin with the photos!

 

The details were all about the green & yellow. Which I loved and made a Saturday in April feel so springy! You cannot go wrong with limes & lemons! Oh and Emily’s purse is actually her mother’s purse she had from her own wedding day 35 years ago - you could not ask for a better little daisy wedding purse than your own mothers!! Love your details Emily!

And a little surprise, kinda…a few more from the reception. I don’t typically post that many from the reception but I couldn’t resist. We had a few large groups of great friends and then some other just funny dance floor shots.   And by the way – go ahead and leave me a comment – make my day! [comments rule!!!]

It was the year 1993 when I met Aimee working at the local Dairy Queen [yummm, you know it!] We became instant friends even though we went to rival high schools. We were together as much as possible all summer long before I left for college at BG, more than 2 hours away.  I received letters and cards each week sometimes more than one – it was the best getting mail from her. This ofcourse was before email and I think just about when the internet was getting on campus so we were stuck with the old fashion way to keep in touch, which is still my perferred way…But sadly our friendship evantually drifted for years [like atleast 12 long years] until this whole thing called Facebook came about. We ended up joining around the same time and I found her right away. I was estactic to find out she married her boyfriend of 16 years and had just had a daughter. Still living over 2 hours away, we finally met and it was awesome. I loved chatting and remembering or trying to remember how things used to be and filling each other in on life currently [I'm not really sure who had more to say!] So all in all, I’m so glad for Facebook and for finding my friend Aimee, our long lost friendship and ofcourse meeting Alex!! Which brings me to the post – ha, I tend to get off track when I think too much. I was so happy to have my camera with me for this impromt quick photo session and to be able to capture these moments of her daughter for my friend and her husband. forever.

So meet Alexandra – she was a doll to photograph, super easy and very curious or maybe confused…haha.
