Cheryl had something on her wedding day that most brides don’t.  Besides her father giving her away, he was also one of the officiants who married her.  It was a special ceremony filled with love and laughter as they exchanged vows at Gilroy Presbytarian.  The rest of the day was spent at Eagle Ridge Golf Club in Gilroy.  From the preperation, to the traditional tea ceremony, to the reception everything was beautiful.    My assistant Jeremy was able to capture the little flower girl retreating.  She decided there was too many people looking at her and I just love how classic this photo is.  Here are some more of our favorites from their day.  To see more photos from their day check out their slideshow by clicking here.

And then of course Flamingo made his move.  I’m learning to deal with the embarrassment of the party crasher.  I have to admit he can get any party going.

We had such a great time doing Christina’s senior session. She was so fun to work with and I love that she loved to laugh. See those serious looks she’s giving us. It took a lot of self control to get those shots. She is a such a beautiful girl inside and out and she was a joy to work with. To see some more of her images check out her slideshow here.

What an amazing two week vacation I just had and I can’t wait to tell you all about it.  There is so much to catch up on so start looking for a lot of post over the next week or two.  There is a bunch of exciting news that will be released over the next couple of weeks.  I told someone I need at least 8 hours of blog time to catch you all up.

I just got back from 10 days of camping in Upper Michigan and it was wonderful.  The only bad thing was it was hard to stay in contact with the world but what are vacations for?  At the moment I’m living on 3 hours of sleep from the night before because small town Michigan believes it is ok to scheadule flights for 5:30a.m.    I will post some photos soon but it was a great family reunion.  I hadn’t seen some of my siblings in over 2 years and I was introduced to 3 new grand nieces and nephews.  How very fun.  I have one more coming in December.

My family has been coming to this campground for at least 40 years and they spend the same 2 weeks every year.  It used to be a ton of families but now my family alone is around 50 people so we take a lot of the park and beach up.  It was a great time to sail, tube, and wave runner by day, and lots of good food, campfires, game playing, and of course trips to the Dairy Queen at night.  Looking forward to sharing and of course Flamingo went to!
