One of my favorite things about Carrie is her personality.  She is one of the most laid back, confident brides I have ever photographed.  It makes my job so much easier and I totally love her for it.  We had a great time at the Villa di Felicita and I know her wedding is going to be a rockin’ good time.

La Te Da Flowers?  Yes please.
She also has this fantastic head piece that she’ll be wearing for her reception.  Find it and more like it here on Etsy.

This feels a bit strange.  This is my first weekend off since March 12th.  That makes 21 weddings in the past 16 weeks.  I’m not sure what I’ll do with my time off.  (Maybe edit?) :)

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to take a quick peek back at my favorite image from each wedding.  Here they are for your viewing pleasure.

Kim & Will’s wedding at the Villa di Felicita fit them perfectly.  They met while performing theater so needless to say there was plenty of drama that day. (HA HA HA!!!)  Their friends provided most of it.  Starting with the rings.  The groomsmen gave Will a CrackerJack package when the minister asked for the rings.

I love what La Tee Da Flowers did for the bridesmaids.

Their First Look (and wedding) was filled with so much laughter.  I love cheerful weddings.

I asked them to sit on the couch “like they normally would”.  This is what Will came up with.

Am I allowed to like photos that are out of focus?

The night ended in typical wedding fashion.  With the bride singing karaoke.

I think my most favorite thing about having 4 kids is the repetition.  It’s like each one is practice for their younger sibling.  We learn what we do well, what needs improvement, we learn what to ease up on and what moments to really enjoy.  I think that’s what makes grandparents so cool.

Side note: I’m totally looking forward to being a kick butt grandparent by around 2032.
(I’m also looking forward to finally getting that flying car.)

So, back in the day I used to do a bit of video work.  My company was cleverly called. The Video Guy.  Like any new business I had t-shirts made and one day I took Jo, our only son at the time, out and did few photos.  For some reason we also worked an iPod into the shoot.  Partly because it was cool, partly because listening to music was one way he would stay still while I photographed him.  The video business is long gone but the t-shirt and tradition have stuck around.  A few weeks ago it was Eli’s turn to rock the shirt & iPad 2.

And, because I KNOW you want to see more photos of my kids, here are some of their TVG shoots along with links to the latest and greatest Apple gadget at the time.

Jo | iPod

Sara | iPod (w/video) (I can’t begin to explain how much easier the tiny tiny video screen made road trips.)

Luke | iPhone 3GS (Luke never had to “suffer” watching a 2 inch video screen like Sara & Jo did.)

These two were so much fun, I can not wait for the wedding a few months from now.  Amy suggested doing the session at her parent’s lake house and it fit them perfectly.  I love these images.  I think my favorite part of Amy & Casey’s session was when Casey complained that the high cost of wedding photography was keeping him form getting a gooseneck trailer. :)

Yeah, we went there.

This is Casey’s new toy.  (The one that NEEDS a gooseneck trailer.)

Thank you two for a great morning.  See you soon!
