PJ and Jessica tie the knot!

Wow, what an amazing fun filled weekend. Starting off with a morning rehearsal followed by Bocce Ball in 100 degree weather. Whew! The wedding was held at Jessica's parent's home in Danville, where Jessica grew up. The ceremony and reception were both held in the backyard. The day and night flowed with many details. Dutch shoes, a photo booth, a canoe filled with presents and the wedding ring in a tool box. Jessica of Bijoux Events, is a wedding planner herself, so you can imagine how detailed the wedding was.
The floral was done by Megan Haney Designs, rentals by Classic Party Rentals, and the officiant was Jill Stein.
The fun and popular photo booth was provided by Photoboof, the amazing and delicious cake was by Cakes by Alyssa.
Catering was by Savouries and Sweets.
And to top the night off the limo got stuck in the gravel. It took ten or so men to push the limo out of the ditch! What a night!
The happy newlyweds ran through the sparklers and headed off in the night. :)
Congratulations PJ and Jessica!

St Patty's Pix of Kaleb!!

So I had the opportunity to photograph little Kaleb last week. I don't know if you remember this little guy from past shoots I did. Here is a revisit of in the belly and then the baby shots. Now he is almost a year old! Time flies so fast! So we had so much fun getting some fun St Patty's Day pix.

Daddy and baby to be....

Kaleb in dreamland

My absolute favorite shot of the day!

Congratulations to the winners......

Chrystie and Josh! They are the winners for my Free Wedding Photography Contest. What an incredible couple so in LOVE. As this couple walked across the stage getting their college diplomas last summer, right there on stage in front of friends and family and thousands of others, Josh got down on one knee and asked Chrystie to marry him!!! The audience cheered and Josh literally swept her off her feet and carried her off stage.
The best part of this is that Josh entered this contest and surprised Chrystie. What an awesome surprise for her!
I am looking forward to photographing your wedding later this year.
Happy Valentine's Day to you both and may your love grow stronger every day and for the rest of your lives together!
