Part 3 - Amanda & Shaune

So, here is part 3 - there really are SO many photos that I still want to share - so I am going to post the slide show on the website shortly. I will post a link here so that you can all find it easily.


Amanda walking down the aisle, seeing Shaune for the first time (that day).


The candle lighting...


The group, with umbrellas...


The newlyweds!




Congratulations you two!

I am working on the slide show and then i'll get you your disk. Your wait is nearly over... :)

Part two...the ladies!

I thought that I would start this post off with a kind of silly photo, but this is what happens when you are in an open field and guests (who don't know they are coming to a wedding) are driving past. They may have wondered what I was doing there though...


The girls and their SEXY lips... (oh, and I learned my lesson with the boys, the girls photos were taken on the pipes side on the bike!)



I especially like Amanda's model pose...



The family...


I was really hoping that Amanda would want some pictures around the old barn, and she didn't disappoint!


What a beautiful dress to spin around in!



Ok, this is my ALL TIME favorite, not just of their wedding, but possibly ever... (out of my own photos, of course) Anyhooo, just so that you all know, Amanda was the coolest bride ever, this was taken BEFORE the wedding, all laying in the grass, not a worry! I'll say it again, LOVE IT!

Thank you so much Amanda for being "up for anything"


Expect part three of this series early next week...

The Big Day... Part 1

So, as you have read in a few previous posts, Skip & I had the pleasure of attending Amanda & Shaune's surprise wedding.

We had a great time, and I wanted to share a few pics taken before the ceremony - I want to post so many, this will probably be in 3 parts over the next few days. So, without further ado, here are some getting ready pics...

Enter Amanda's mom, who thought that she was coming to the farm for a family BBQ (which would explain all the people and cars) - what she didn't know was that her girl was getting married that very same day. This is her wondering what the heck is going on and Amanda explaining...



Surprise number two...




Amanda's mom helping her get her necklace done up...



I really like this shot, it looks so romantic and glowy...




Some sweet light flare and the groom to be...



The men... Amanda's dad's bike - I am really not very knowledgeable about bikes, and so I do have to apologize for taking pictures on the non-pipes side of the bike...




The boys having some fun at the playground - this thing was not meant for four grown men, but at least it stayed standing, and they had fun...



This is one of the two ring shots, this one is Skip's - he didn't want to touch the rings for fear of dropping them in the tall grass, but even more than that, he didn't want ME touching the rings... I would never... intentionally. :)



Part two to come some time tomorrow, and don't worry this is just a VERY small sample of what is to come - once I have them all done, I will post a slide show of all of the pictures for those who want to see.

A Day In The Park (Biggest Blog Post EVER!!!!)

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Amanda, Shaune & Bella for the first time. Amanda had contacted me only about a week or so before. Her and Shaune were planning a very last minute surprise wedding. The only people in on the secret were the couple, the bridal party, and her grandma I believe (and a select few others to help pull off the secret). We really wanted to get together before the wedding to get some family/engagement pictures first, and to get to know each other a bit before the big day. Here are some photos from that day... (actually quite a few because they've already seen them and I won't ruin the surprise)


My favorite shot of Bella, who was FINALLY allowed to get in the water...



Gorgeous eyes...





Here is one of my favorite family pics - too bad it is so small, Bella's eyes are just as pretty as her moms.
Bella attacks!


I love the intimate sort of feeling here...


This was definitely one of my favorites...



Look for their wedding preview soon, and also a sneak peak at this years Christmas cards!

Amanda, Shaune & Bella

YEAH! The secret is out!
Skip & I just got home from a beautiful wedding on a farm near Oyen.
Thank you so much Amanda, Shaune & Bella for having us be a part of your special surprise wedding day. More on that later though, I wanted to share one quick shot from their engagement/family session a few weeks ago. More to come from the engagement shots tomorrow, and some from the actual wedding soon.
I just wanted to take a quick second to say thank you so much for making us feel so welcome, and congratulations!
