Me in 2D

Because everyone was on the kick of Simpsonizing themselves in ode to the Simpson's Movie, I decided to bring back the long forgotten South Park self caracters. Kris and I had a histerical time picking out the body parts and expressions. Here's what I came up with, with the help of www.sp-studio.de.

Me -yes, I did an update! Plus, I think I look great sporting the AC Ellis T-Shirt!!

My wonderful husband in his new career:

I think that everyone needs to be a South Park caracter at least once in their lifetime...especially our mothers!

Audra + Kenny: 08.31.07

Although I was not able to attend Audra and Kenny's ceremony, I did have the priveledge to meet up with them at their reception. I love being able to see the tables, chairs, and decorations before any of the guests arrive! I always feel like I am seeing something that I shouldn't! The colors were vibrant, and the treats of hot tamales and sprinkled mints kept the guests coming back for more!

Some alone time.

How interesting it is to watch the parents, grandparents, B&G, family and friends during speaches and bride and goom slideshows. I get to see how much people care, and how close a bond they have with each other.

Katie + Travis: 08.18.07

Katie and Travis' wedding was such a blast! After spending time with the ladies when we first arrived at the church, I had the opportunity to spy on the gentlemen. Since they had previously gotten ready, I found them sneaking into the church gym. They didn't go to shoot some hoops, but to catch the score on the ball game and play a few rounds of Foosball! Even Travis' dad had to join in the festivities! (Maybe it's just us photographers that notice this, but men at weddings are WAY more relaxed than any of the women...)
The ceremony was beautiful, and it was almost hard for me to not cry while watching the bridesmaids reach for their tissues to dry their eyes. At the reception Katie and Travis' head table was positioned in the middle of the room with family and friends surrounding them. The best part was watching all the guests work their way to the table to serenade the newlyweds with a love song to convince them to kiss!
Thanks for an awesome day!
