{weekend madness}

Wow! First, I want to thank all the wonderfully fantastic families that made last weekend such a HUGE success. Despite many complications -- one being RAIN... we pulled it off! I got a lot of great stuff, although I am just showing one shot from each shoot. Sorry I am not able to blog more shots from each individual shoot -- but hopefully this will satisfy the soul until later in the week (I am mailing everything out Tuesday).

Thanks again and a HUGE hug from me

~XOXO

{{ pam & dan }}

I cried, then cried... then CRIED!! It takes ALOT to get me out of bed (let alone out of the house) before 11am. When Dan first called and explained the wedding plans to me -- I was sold. Dan and Pam had a beautiful and very emotional ceremony on Indian Rock at sunrise. It was just the two of them (and me). I feel so honored to have been a part of such an amazing moment in their life. I was so spiritually moved by the moment that I was crying while looking through these images. (I know, I am a big wimp).

Later that day they had another ceremony at City Hall, which was also very moving. Then the speeches at the restaurant -- cry cry cry!!! So sweet, I really cannot say enough about this wedding.

Thank you again for sharing this day with me (and the strong coffee). I will always remember it.

RAH ... after such a great day I went to find my car had been towed -- uggg. Even that didn't piss me off as much as it would normally because I was still on cloud 9 from this great wedding.
