Congrats Jenny & Jason!

The Event: McBride & Olger Wedding
The Date: June Eighteenth, Two Thousand Eleven
The Venue: Deerfield Park Covered Bridge

A gorgeous day and a gorgeous venue made for a wonderful wedding day for Jenny & Jason Olger. A red Chevy pickup truck, a covered bridge, a perfect bride and groom, and two fun families made the wedding a one-of-a-kind event. This event was simple, elegant and amazing. We took wedding portraits before and after the actual wedding which means much less stress and more time to get those great shots. Wedding...Lunch at Maxfield's and off the following day on an Alaskan cruise with their closest friends. Woot! Congratulations Jenny & Jason.

 

A Gorgeous Wedding!

The Event: Bacome & Trecy Wedding Day
The Date: June Eleventh, Two Thousand Eleven 
The Venue: Dunning Memorial Chapel, Alma -- Maxfield's Restaurant, Edmore

A Bride...A Groom...A Fairytale Theme = the makings of an awesome wedding day for Amanda & Ryan Trecy. Mix spicy pink dresses with rich chocolate brown tuxes and you have a sweet color treat. Everything about the day was gorgeous, including the weather which turned around and was perfect. The ladies started their day preparing at Colorworks hair salon while the guys chose to get ready at the chapel. All of the planning, stressing, preparing and waiting ended as the beautiful bride and her father entered the sanctuary...the ceremony was poignant and beautifully executed. The reception, which included a candy buffet and "sweet" table center pieces had the guests "sugar buzzing" while awaiting the arrival of the bridal party. Everyone had a wonderful time celebrating this special day for Ryan and Amanda. Congratulations and Happily Ever After!

A Beautiful Wedding Day...June 11, 2011

Congrats Amanda & Ryan! Thank you for letting us capture your gorgeous wedding!

Gary Fong is the Bong!

I am loving my Lightspere by Gary Fong. I love the way the light is filtered. I have had it a while and have not used it, but decided to bust it out at my friend's daughter's 8th Birthday Party last night. Even though it is large, even though it looks like "a tupperware bowl" (not my quote), even though it's not the most convenient to store away discreetly---I LOOOOOVE IT!

Now, a few pics from the party that was at The Menu Manager in Midland. The Menu Manager is an awesome place and the kids had a great time! They had Quesadillas to eat, made Lasagna to take home, had cookies to dip and decorate and take home also. They made a recipe book and had loads of fun.

Wow! I need to post more often!

It has been too long since I have posted anything to the blog. I have had several moments to blog about, just have not carved out the time to do it. So, this will be a menagerie of things that should/would/could be blogged about, but were NOT--but now are!


BREAKFAST! Sometimes Mom can be clever like Daddy...

My Little Graduate...

And Cupcake Wars may not be far off--I have honed my skills. Took these to Drew's Preschool Graduation...

A walk down the lane...actually it's Bass Lake Drive.

Simplicity...a mom can never get too many Dandelion Bouquets!

The Big Fat Fort (aptly named by Dad and Drew) the beginning...
