Leece and Jim

A fantastic wedding! Leece and Jim are both good friends of mine, and it's so fun to see great friends happy together.


Leece's beautiful and classic dress


And her veil


I loved the shoes! She also wore them outside with her dress.


One of my favorite shots of Leece from the day.


I was having fun with the stained glass right before the ceremony.


The church was decked out with video cameras inside and tv screens outside; Leece and her dad are watching everyone walk in here.


In addition to their first kiss, they did a pinky promise.




Jim, the handsome groom




What reception is complete without glow sticks?


...and disco ball necklaces...


...and straw hats, leis, tamborines, and clappers.


The younger kids at the wedding were sliding across the floor throughout many of the fast songs, so toward the end of the reception the 20-something kids decided to do so as well.

For additonal photos, check out their slide show.

Lesli and John

I helped my friend Brian Lee out on Lesli and John's wedding; what a great couple! They were both so thankful for everyone that was there throughout the day.


I love mirrors! John and his brother moments before we headed out to the ceremony.


The flower girl was a little bored during the ceremony and wandered over to the window for a more interesting view.


fun colors




Lesli's beautiful gown


She had fantastic expressions throughout the day.




A great dance party was had by all!

Seamus's First Birthday

I just loved their friend Amelia's eyes.


Partying with mom.

Leece and Jim's engagement

It was field trip time on Sunday for Jim and Leece's engagement session. We headed up to Wisconsin for an afternoon of apple picking; although instead of picking apples we just played in the orchard. That's close to apple picking, right?


I loved the color of this barn.


The rules said no climbing of the trees, so we went with the assumption that sitting in them was allowed.




Mmmm, apples...


Mmmm, rotten apples...


Showing off the bling.






After we explored the orchard, we came upon this fabulous old tractor near the cars.


With the seats of the tractor looking like this, we decided climbing inside was not the best idea.


But sitting on the giant wheels was perfectly acceptable.






Our friends Jake and Molly were also along for the field trip; they actually did pick apples.

Natalie and David

A great couple up in Mt. Clemens, Michigan!


Beautiful lace on Natalie's dress.


Small detail on her shoes.


The handsome gentlemen.


Fabulous rings.


So cute; and not even posed!


We had just enough time for portraits outside before the downpour.


I loved this retro-looking scene.




There was great dancing all night!


This floor made for great reflections.


I had a little fun just outside the reception hall.
