Wedding: Tom & Melissa

It's funny how life turns out. I remember being 13 and talking to Melissa (who I've known since 5th grade) about how we both wanted to get married at 24 when we were "finally adults and had seen the world..." As if you could plan such things... Thankfully, things didn't turn out the way we envisioned. They turned out better. Last weekend, my lovely friend married her beloved in an intimate ceremony overlooking sand and sea.

Everything was simply GORGEOUS! Especially the bride! Actually, both Tom and Melissa were radiant on their special day. And their felicity was only matched and magnified by their family's happiness (I've been reading Jane Austen lately, can you tell?) Truly, a feeling of love blanketed the venue. You could feel it and see it... even to the last detail. Here are some images I captured as a guest and witness of this happy day...

Congratulations Tom & Melissa Caldwell! Wishing you happiness, love, and success in your every endeavor! God bless you both!

PPPS. Not as many wedding pictures as I'd hoped because I was having major eye irritation. You can kind of see it in the picture above. Boo!

Event: G. Family Baby Shower

A few months ago I went to the most beautiful baby shower ever. And by beautiful, I mean, all you can eat steak. I'm kidding! The steak wasn't the only thing that made this shower amazing. It was all in the details. No joke! This event was elaborate, meaningful, and extremely interactive. There was a scrapbooking station where each guest created a page for the baby's first scrapbook...There was a bib-making section...Games...A kid's room with video games, nacho bar, and a candy bar station... It was intense! I felt like I was at a wedding the whole time. Aside from the wow-factor, it was a HUGE blessing to be part of that day and to capture some sweet memories for a family that is very close to my heart....

Here are a few shots so you can see the glory for yourself..

If you can make toilet paper look pretty then you deserve an award of some sort....Am I right? Or am I right?
