Mary....one word...gorgeous.

Mark and Mary are HUGE Hawkeyes fans...so their theme coordinated with that...right down to the socks...

This is what I'm talking about.....I. Love. This.

This awesome alley...I about died when I found it and it's lighting...and Mary about died when I made her go in it...but...it was so worth it!

Thank you boys....this is the money shot.

So...someone forgot his pair of socks at home...but these guys were so giving...one of them gave up a sock to let him in on the fun...and it caused a bit of laughter.  It's the moments like this that make the day memorable.  Things don't need to be perfect...

A moment of revery after the ceremony...

This is what I meant when I said they were surrounded by friends...above them on the second level...all of their friends lined up along the railing...something about it gave me the shivers...it was heat-warming to hear them all cheer this amazing couple on...

Mark and Mary...what else can I say...besides...Go Hawkeyes!?

I love me some sun flare...and look at her gorgeous eyes...

Ok...this picture just gets to me...this laughter is contagious...try looking at it and not smiling...see?  You can't.

And now...for the star of the show...little Violet...

Ok, it was a little past her bedtime...so we saw a few tears...but they were so cute...I couldn't help myself, but torture her with the camera a little longer...

They are meant to be together...

Aren't cherry blossoms so romanticle?  Yeah.  I just said it.  Romanticle.

Heather and Dylan...and Violet...thank you for being so darn cute.  I can't wait for your wedding!

This is all Sandie...I can just hear her talking to her mom as I look at this picture.

A private moment before seeing her groom...

A wonderful thanks to the girls at Hyacinth Events for pulling off another gorgeous wedding...her bouquet was stunning....

Sandie...you are so beautiful....

Guys and their cigars....

A brisk jog...

Aren't these dresses to die for!?

Sandie is a baking goddess....and she made her own wedding cake!!  So adorable!

Sunsets and candles...the perfect ceremony setting...

Thank you for running outside with me....it was so worth it...

Ryan and Sandie...may your life be richly blessed and your marriage be forever bliss.

Ok - I'm going to go all-mom on you today.  It is my baby's 4 month birthday.  It is inevitable, some of you who aren't parents yet are going to say..."Oh, big whoop...here she goes again about that kid of hers"...it's probably what I would have said...em, about 4 months ago.  But 4 months can change a lot of things.  Four months have turned me into an emotional sap, I mean, geez, when I see a tv commercial about car safety and babies, I bawl.  Yeah, I'm that person now.  I never thought I would be that person.  And, when I put this little guy down for a nap, or to sleep at night...while, I relish the alone time to get work done, or finish a little project here and there...I miss him while he sleeps.  Fiercely.  But it is a beautiful thing when he does...it is in those moments that I can take a rare, silent moment....breathe it all in...and be thankful for the blessing of motherhood.

This beautiful tutu was her momma's dance tutu when she was little...it is adorable.  Yes, I have tutu envy.

She loves her momma...

but she is not so sure about sweet frosting...

Happy Birthday Baby A...may your second year be even more blessed than the first!

Tim and Elisa, I cannot put it any better myself.  You both know how much I love you...so I'm not going to go on and on about how amazing you two are and how incredible your wedding was, or how gorgeous you looked Elisa.  I'm not going to keep chatting about how hilarious Tim is or how fun your wedding party was or how lovely your families are.  I'm not going to keep saying how amazing your vendors were.  I'm not going to do it.  I'm just going to give you the pictures...because, that's all I can do really. There is nothing else I can do to give your wedding the justice it deserves.  Because, it was insanely amazing.  And thus, I give you...
