Fabulous Couples :: Sneak Peek

Summertime has been busy!  I keep telling myself to stick to my master plan as it will make things far easier than previous years…but apparently my master plan needs some tweaking!  I have decided that blog posts are just going to have to take a little longer than the norm…and Fresh for Friday might just need to be on a summer break.  In the midst of it all Michele and I are working away on our joint venture White Linen Photography.  Re-branding in the near future and all sorts of wonderful changes (we are so excited!).  The full posts for the sessions below will be posted on White Linen so please make sure to bookmark and check back often.

Michele and I were fortunate enough to share in photographing each of the couples below.  Yes, we do have the worlds greatest job and well…I kinda love my partner!  hehe.

Enough of that.  Onto the goods…

enjoy.

Andrei + Persa :: Wedding Day

Andrei + Persa (who you may remember from here + here) are my very first Big Fat Greek Wedding!  A fabulous experience so very rich in tradition.  I was truly thrilled to have been able to take part in this day!

I swear it was the hottest day EVER.  Maybe not, but it sure did feel like it.  Of course, Andrei + Persa never complained…I might have once or twice…hey, it was cooking okay!  hehe.  The day was what seemed like a whirlwind of beautiful moments and although we were rushing around tight on time in the heat…I would say it was pretty much perfect.  Andrei + Persa your day is one I will not soon forget.

enjoy.

a little added note…I must say a big thanks to Mish for coming along for the ceremony…you are fabulous!

Craig + Teresa :: Wedding Day

I love, love.  From the very first email I received from Teresa, I just knew that I had to be a part of her day.  The wedding was held on a Thursday at Spirit Ridge in Osoyoos…and it could not have been more perfect.  A rooftop ceremony, lovely light…wonderful Etsy bits (Etsy I heart you), a fantastic group of people.  Fabulous.

Thank you both for being so amazing.  Craig, thank you for putting up with us despite feeling a little um…tired!?  hehe.  Also, Michele…thank you for being the best partner a girl could have and tagging along to scope out the location…but of course not being able to resist shooting!

enjoy.

Fresh For Friday.

Today is a wonderfully fabulous day.  It is the birthday of my sweet and beautiful bonus daughter.  This is a big year for miss Haley as it is the last of her pre-teens…today she is TWELVE.  Wowzers.  So to you Miss…we wish you the most wonderful day.  You are truly an amazing young lady and we are so proud of the young woman you are becoming.  Beautiful, strong, happy and one of the most giving people I know.  Remember…always be you.  Love you mean it.

12 and stunning…here she is with her younger sis.

Speaking of birthdays.  Summer is ticking away…does time honestly go faster as we get older?  It sure seems that way.  I am holding onto this last week of my twenties.  Eeep.  In six days I will be…

THIRTY.  WAH?  Yes, 30.  Although, I still feel 24 1/2.  ha.  I am looking forward to all that thirty has to offer…and I welcome it with open arms!

So this Friday is dedicated to fabulous things I am dreaming of…

No these are not hints.  Its called dream shopping people!

17 inch Macbook Pro.  Come live with me.

Personal Organizer.  This needs no photo.  I just need one!

A new purse.  Scrap that, I went and got myself one.  Its this, in black…for fall.  And I love it.
A cook + cleaner.  What?  Its not unreasonable.

This dress.  Beauty.  Anthropologie…i heart you.  Actually…I could pick about 12 bedding sets as well!  :) A holiday.  Here looks good.  Sigh…

Well, heres hoping!  hehehe.
