Updates, Good Books & a Wedding... | Cache Valley Photographer

Okay, so I figured before life picks up, or I start reading another really good book, I'd better blog this wedding from December. Tee Hee!  BUT, before I do, there's a few things we need to discuss.

1) This post is going to have A LOT of pictures. & I mean A LOT.

2) For those of you who follow me on instagram, or are friends with me and Facebook, I'm sorry for repeating this story about last week's trip to the ER for Emma's poor eye. BUT those of you who don't, this will be a new quick little mention of it.  :)   When I saw her last Tuesday morning, her eye was nearly swollen shut. I told her, 'Oh, Emma, your poor eye'! and she replied pointing to her left eye, 'it's okay mommy, this one still works'..She's such a good sport. I could really learn something from her. Hmph...Well, her swelling is almost gone and her coloring is almost normal! Wahoo!  She ripped her scab off last night after she 'went to bed'...little stinker!

She's back to dressing herself and being oh so happy! I love that girl more than ANYTHING.  

I don't normally include personal pictures on my photography blog, BUT if you keep reading you'll find out why I'm in a time 'crunch'.

3) Good Books. Oh how I LOVE to read. About this time last year, I did a Rock it or Roll It post on a recent favorite book and I didn't get much time to read again until just the last few weeks. Oh me, Oh my! Need a good book? Touch of Power   AND   The STUDY Series, are absolutely amazing. Touch of Power IS my new favorite book, and it will be hard for any other to top it! Maria Snyder has easily become one of my favorite authors, and I just purchased another one of her series....that is why I do not have time for 2 blog posts..Emma only naps for a limited amount of precious time!!!  ;)

Now, onto the wedding. December 22nd. Also, my anniversary. Also, the best day of the year. AND it's only 3 days away from Christmas. Score right?!  Mandi Marshall was so awesome to come help me with second shooter. She's just starting to venture into the photography business world! So exciting. I LOVE photog friends!!

Gorgeous! Gorgeous flowers!!!

LOVE the back of her dress!!

The bride and her dad broke out into a choreographed routine during their daddy daughter dance. It was pretty fantastic if I do say so myself!!!

The lucky ones who caught the garter and bouquet!

Hands down, one of the most fun weddings I have ever attended. If only I could go back and do mine over, I'd probably steal a few ideas from these guys...they know how to party!  Thanks again to Mandi Marshall for all your great work and help! I really do appreciate it!!

So this winter has been pretty lame. & I've loved every second of the snowless sunshine. It finally snowed about a week ago and I'm so over winter. Ready for spring...who's with me? So in the spirit of moving on, I'm going to blog from a fall session...I'm a little backwards. I know. What gives?!

This family was not only on the extreme ends of handsome and drop dead gorgeous, but so much FUN!!

Am I the only one who thinks someone did a casting call for the perfect looking family and got these guys to fill the spots?!

I want you guys to get ready, for one of the world's cutest little guy's EVER. His smile makes me giggle and grin. How could it not? He also has a very awesome name...the same name I plan to name a boy if I ever have one, and if I can get my husband to 'agree' (like the parenthesis)? LoL. BUT, that name is a secret...unless of course you know or are a member of this family.

 And the other cutest little guy ever...in the same family. Go figure. I loved watching him interact with his dad. Mastercard...watch out...talk about priceless!

 Okay, so this is killer eyes, hair, skin and bod Brooke with her husband, who reminds me of some rocker from a band who's name I don't know. Not a bad thing. Unless it's N*sync, I won't remember the band name, end of story. Haha I'm only kidding. Kind of. ;)   I'm crossing my fingers I get to do a creative shoot with her this winter before the photography 'season' picks up again..keep your fingers crossed for me, and keep an eye out for the session to be posted/blogged!

This momma-sita has 4 kids. I repeat FOUR children. That's 4 as in f.o.u.r.   I know exactly what you're thinking, and I couldn't agree more. SO. NOT. FAIR.

 Wilcox family, you were awesome, and I'm so glad I got to meet all of your beautiful faces to envy for a long time to come! I hope I get the privilege of taking your photos again! Now, off to do yoga so I can someday, maybe, be half as cute!

Okay, I've said it before, and I'll say it again...There's a reason I'm the one BEHIND the camera & most of the time I prefer to keep it that way. However, sometimes I think it's worse for my 'ego'.. For example, this lovely bunch. How is it even fair to look so good? The only editing 'needed' was slight slighting adjustments...and they look like this. Seriously?! Talk about a kick in the shin to knock any bit of confidence I had down! (Can you sense my envy just a little)?  ;)

 {sigggghhhhh} How would it be to be so cute and thin after two super cute kids? Huh? How is it Tina? Fabulous I'm sure!

 Kiddos with their dad..I just love little miss's pose here. She's gonna be a 'super bottle' (Emma's word's not mine) someday..I just know it!

This little guy was having a rough afternoon due to a few falls and sleepiness, but he was still a good sport!

 It was a pretty chilly day, so we got to go warm up in a candy shop. The kids got candy. & I got fudge samples. Win win situation...as I complain about not being cute and thin..LoL  In all seriousness, Loganites, the candy shop on the corner by Blue Bird has some ammmazzzing treats!!

 I love little miss's attitude!

Even though it was chilly and hard on the kiddo's, I couldn't be happier with the turn out. I hope you love them as much as I do Denney Family, and I hope to see you again next year! Okay, this year, I was really behind on blogging this....sorry!!!  :)
