For a brief second, I thought it was me...


It seems like there have been a lot of photos of this family on my blog... well, I guess there have been! This is the couple who had the surprise wedding - read more about it in this post - Surprise Wedding

Because their actual wedding was a surprise, they weren't able to invite all of the friends and family, so Skip and I went to Oyen in November to take the family photos that we didn't take at the actual wedding, as well as some photos at the reception.

Here are just a few of my favs. from that day.


Here is Shaune wearing his grandfathers cuff links - details like this are so special.


Skip got this one and I LOVE IT! I was shooting straight on - and that one is good too - but I really love the different angle on this one.


You may have noticed in the family photo above, and in ALL of the other photos, everyone seems, well, more happy than usual to be having a lot of family photos taken. I thought that maybe I got funnier, or maybe I had something in my teeth, no...

This was what was going on behind me for most of the photos, and I can only imagine what else. I may have to hire him for all of my photos!



I thought for sure she would sneak a taste, but grandma caught her first.



This was the moment when Shaune's sister said that she had found some old audio footage of Shaune singing as a child, he looks worried, and he was worried for a good reason, it was hilarious!


A special dad daughter dance...


The band Cold Shot was there to entertain for the rest of the night - they were really good!
Amanda's uncle plays base - he's the one with the cool beard.

Here is the link to their myspace page if you are interested in booking them for your event.

Thank you so much Shaune and Amanda, we had such a great time getting to know you and your families over the past few months.

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.
http://dayinthelifephoto.blogspot.com/2008/08/day-in-park-biggest-blog-post-ever.html
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.
