Tera & Drew ~ 07.19.08

Tera & Drew were such a sweet couple, and I really enjoyed spending the evening with them and their families. The weather was perfect, the decorations were beautiful, and everyone had a great time. Here's a few of my faves from the day...



Tera's daughters were super cute...


1st look...





I must have said something pretty funny!


Me and the guys...I was surprised at how appropriately they behaved! lol


They timed the ceremony perfectly. The sun was just going over the trees at 6pm...



The reception...



Drew is a police officer, so I thought these would make a cute ring shot...





I love how Tera is looking at her dad in this one...




Thanks for looking!

Why don't more people do this?

I think more people should punch dance out their rage. I think if everyone did this, the world would be a healthier (and coordinated!), more relaxed place to live, don't you?

I can't wait for another season of Flight of the Conchords.

"Bat-an kewl"

Calvin calls Batman, "Bat-an," and evidently he thinks he's pretty "kewl" because he says it every time he sees something Batman related. We've seen quite a few movies lately (Iron Man, Hulk, Hellboy II) which were all awesome, but Batman has been my favorite so far this summer. I was so happy there was no neon, or silly sidekick. It was a great super hero movie with interesting characters and set design, among other things. It's definitely a movie worth seeing in the theaters, if you haven't already. Calvin got a new "Bat-an" toy at the store today, and he won't put it down for anything!

Johnny Mnemonic & Charades

"Jess!" Spencer just yelled to me from downstairs. "Guess what movie they have on here!" (Talking about the new Playstation 3 video store) "Maybe I should just act it out in charades!" He added. I laughed, "Really? Johnny Mnemonic??" "Yeah! You knew what I meant?" "Of course!" I responded. I thought it was cute how Spencer then proceeded to tell Noah that when we were first dating (8 years ago), we played a game of charades at a friend's house, and I picked the movie Johnny Mnemonic for him to act out. Yes, I know, very clever. Well, he did think he was such a good actor, and I guess I felt he needed the challenge. I don't remember who won the game, but I can recall a lot of giggling on my part. It's fun to reminisce. :)

Some pics Tiffany just sent me

Tiffany just sent me these pics, and I thought I'd share them. I told you Noah was a huge hit! I'm thinking about renting him out for receptions as the cute comedy relief!

Me, looking goofy...

So sweet...

07.03.08 ~ Tiffany & Jason at Cannon Beach

Tiffany & Jason are one of those couples I know I'll stay friends with for a long time. Not just because they "love their photographer," but we clicked right away, and they are such a sweet and down-to-earth couple. They even asked me (multiple times) if I would bring my boys with me, and I knew, after she told me she even made favors for them, that I had to make it a family vacation as well, and I'm so glad I did. I didn't feel like I was working at all, it felt like I was part of the family, but just happened to have a camera with me. I kept going back and forth between a regular blog post and a slide show, but here's some of my favorites, and I may still post a slide show a little later.

Tiffany & Jason, thank you for inviting us to be apart of your day. I feel a little guilty that you made it special for us, and I hope these images help you remember how special the day was for you. Although you live up in WA, I look forward to our growing friendship.

A big thank you to my husband and Jon for shooting with me! But I owe them both for more than that...my car got a flat tire in between the ceremony and reception, but my husband was able to make it to Les Schwab, and Jon drove me to the reception, so it worked out just fine. Spencer even made it to the reception on time. :)


Dress shot in the hotel room...


Some crazy person snuck into this one!


Her Grandma's ring she got to wear for the day...


First look...





I think this is the look she gave when Spencer suggested the location for the next set of images...


But, they were stoked about going on the roof for some shots! Luckily we didn't get in trouble, but a guy from the office did tell us to hurry before they got in trouble.




Noah was a huge hit, he's going to miss everybody!











Probably my fave...




The reception at JP's in Cannon Beach...








Jason is one of the sweetest guys ever, but he looks down right scary here!



Since we stayed the night, we hung out with them at their bonfire that night...good times...




Thanks for looking!
