Yes...Yes...I've neglected my blog lately...but only because I've been buried under wrapping paper, scissors, tape, print orders, boxes, Christmas decorations, ...I've been a busy bee trying to get everyone's orders put in before Christmas.  But, time's been running out and I really needed to get this Grosdidier family their pictures done.  

This is the coolest family...and when Karla (aka: family organizer) called and asked if I would get some nice family shots while her brother was in town, OF COURSE I was IN!  However, can't exactly say I was prepared for walking into a room filled with 22 people ready to be in front of the camera. HAHA!  I can officially say, that is one of the largest family group shots I've ever shot...at least, indoors anyway.  BUT I DID IT!  

This is two humorous shots of the chaos that comes along with 22 people confined in a room and having a camera shoved in their face.

...and this is weeeeellllll worth it.  What a good lookin' family!

These are the two responsible for all the rest of the 20 people.

...and this is Karla and David (total Mini and Mickey wannabees)

I've been photographing Elizabeth & Justin for about 5 years and it's been surreal to watch them evolve and relationship grow over the years.  It reminds me so much of my beginning years with my own husband.  The day has finally come that they seal the deal...and it was a perfect day.

Started off with a breakfast of champions...

...and a happy bride, hanging out with all her girls.

And a diamond is forever...so thought it was fitting to have a timeless creature display the bling.

Here was a tiny hiccup of the day...some of the boys didn't get black socks in their tux bag.  

First time Justin got to see his beautiful bride that day.  

Elizabeth being entertained by her gals.

It's not if you win or lose...it's how you play the game.

How perfect is this pic?!  Elizabeth and most of her friends were cheerleaders all through school...and Justin in his friends were on the football team.  They got their own team going on.

This was hysterical in the making.

Poor buddy.....literally. hehehe

I think this has got to be one of my largest attended weddings yet.  This is only a picture of the sanctuary, there was a whole room off to the side of more guests...and when we pulled up to the reception, the parking lot was overloaded.  

I had to put this one in.  During the ceremony they had a slideshow of some of their pictures together from over the years.  I think most of them were taken by me....ME!!!!!   YIPPIE!  Although, it makes me blush a little to look back at some of my work from years and years ago...because...well...let's face it, I've gotten better.  Between technology changing, software upgrades, and ...ummmm...gained experience...it's nice that Elizabeth had such a long engagement...because now she has me at my best.  WAHOOO!

Brutal

This is the look of "OOPS!"...Elizabeth went a little crazy with the limo buttons.  At one point the limo driver unexpectedly pulled over and came back to ask what we needed.  Apparently she pushed the "service" button.

Several good dancers at this wedding...here are two featured ones.

Friday night I had the pleasure of joining Elizabeth and Justin at their rehearsal and dinner.  Everything went smoothly, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was something out of a movie.  It was a relaxing night...weird, huh?  Aren't rehearsals supposed to be when all the threads come unraveled? 

This is DeeAnn & David, owners of Coffee Talk...the lovely place the dinner was held at.  I don't think there is a more perfect place to have a dinner party at...and it was certainly the best I've attended.  Oh, and Saturday was their anniversary (5 year if I remember right)...SO BIG CONGRATS to them!

And after dinner was all done...Elizabeth, Karen, Matt, and I stuck around town and decided to have some camera fun.
