…in between…
…it’s the in between that has always been my favorite part.
…between the first bite and the last…
…a rolling laughter that finally tapers to a chuckle…
…the second when you realize your about to be kissed and the moment it actually happens…
how about these in between moments…
and meet Katie..Pacific High 2011…and her horse suitably named “Maybe”…
Stay tuned later this week for Jen and Erich’s wedding!!

…Vintage inspired wedding shoot…
everytime I browse through wedding blogs I see these styled shoots that are so beautiful. One day I thought to myself…we mid-America folks can do that too!! So I called up Laurie and then sent out lots of emails and phone calls until the perfect team was assembled and a clear vision was in mind.
Months of planning and collaborating went into this shoot…and when the day finally came, the weather man said it was supposed to thunderstorm all….day….long….
I wanted to cry…all this hard work…we couldn’t back out now…so we moved forward with smiles on our faces the entire time thinking to ourselves we were totally SOL…
I am pleased to inform you that it did not rain one single drop the entire day…as a matter of fact there was sunshine all around!
The masterminds behind the event were:
Wedding Planner- Katie Saeger of Simply and Forever, http://simplyandforever.com

…Lejla and Edin…part two..
It was so hard to narrow down pics to share in this next post. I literally went round and round in my head…
Lejla and Ed decided to do a first look….these next two shots are the reasons why I went into weddings…
seriously Lejla…you were stunning…
these next two shots completely rock my world to…I love the sensuality of them…
then we stopped by the Fox Theatre in the Rolls Royce…look at how happy they are…sigh…
and this last shot…no words. just love.
Next week I will share some of the details and of course a list of all the vendors!!!
Plus the Mentorshop is this weekend…
I am so stoked…so I’m sure I will have lots to share from that!
Don’t forget about the Explore Workshop in Dallas, TX August 13-15
