Nicole & Ben contacted me earlier in the year about their September 26th wedding. They needed some engagement pictures for their SAVE THE DATES and guest book.

Yesterday was quite windy and chilly – but we got it in!

I am so blessed to have a “job” that I LOVE. I don’t even consider it a job or work.

Sunday I took Mary Love with me to Geneva (about a 1 1/2 hour drive) for my wedding at BELHURST CASTLE! I had never been but everyone told me it was breathtaking!

Mary and I got there with plenty of time to spare and scope out the location.

The groom Bill and I met in college through Campus Crusades for Christ – and reconnected on FACEBOOK (thank God for FACEBOOK and the connections I have made)!

We hung out with Cheryl and her family as they got ready for the big moment.

The wedding party started walking down the aisle to music I have NEVER heard at a wedding before – and I have been to my fair share.

The music from The Princess Bride – no lyrics – just the instrumental from the ending – I was SO EXCITED – I LOVE that movie and I LOVE the music!

I immediately knew what I was going to do with the photos – the first picture in this post – on the water at Seneca Lake – with the lyrics to Storybook Love floating in the sky.

The ceremony was wonderful – the message was amazing and I shed a few tears (although this is a daily thing for me).

Saturday was the first wedding of wedding season this year!

The groom Tony and I have been friends since 6th grade!

Brelin and I had only met once prior to the wedding day – I love her – she is so sweet and fits Tony perfectly.

NATALIE STOVALL

Filed under: concert — admin at 11:03 am on Thursday, May 7, 2009

Friday afternoon Jared and I went to a concert in Williamsport – NATALIE STOVALL!

I have the pictures on my FACEBOOK already – simply because uploading pictures to FACEBOOK is much easier than uploading pictures to the blog.

Jared took off the afternoon and we left Schrute to jet down to Wmsprt to see the show.

Jared used to tease me about following Emerson Drive around the state – but now … I don’t hear him teasing me anymore.

The concert was supposed to be outside but with this wacky weather lately it was moved indoors. It was a FREE college event – with FREE peachy-orangey cotton candy – SO GOOD!

Natalie was the second act – which reminded me of Samm and I following Emerson Drive – we saw so many good people with Emerson Drive – Blake Shelton – Julie Roberts – Phil Vassar – Ty Herndon – Steve Holy – Aaron Lines – but we were there for EMERSON DRIVE!

After the show Natalie started signing autographs – while in line she asked if I would get a picture of the girls in front of me with her. Since I was the real photographer. I still have a hard time thinking that of myself – the real photographer.

Here is Natalie – an AMAZINGLY talented artist getting to live out her dreams who is excited to meet ME – someone who is thanking God for the talents He has given me and that I actually get to live out my dreams too! Being a photographer full-time as my job – I can’t believe that it has happened and is continuing to happen.

Natalie and I are the same age and we are both LIVING OUR DREAM – it is so exciting!

While she signed and met more people – Jared and I talked with her hubbie James – who is such a nice guy. Who also recognized me as “the” photographer – SO COOL!

img_7963

img_7964

James and I …

img_7966

YES – WE ARE NERDS – HARDCORE!

img_7967

img_7968

It was so cool to meet everyone in person this time – we have been chatting over e-mail and blogs and what not – such a crazy world we live in!

THANKS AGAIN NATALIE – JAMES – MIGUEL – JOE for your awesomeness!

Then our coach would yell from the the dugout every now and then – “Hey guys! Let’s hear some chatter out there. Let’s hear some chatter!”

What are we – rabbits?

Adam wins it all – ARGH – of course he would do great on rock week – but I still don’t think he’s great.

allison_iraheta_210x202

Allison will be safe – if she isn’t – America needs their brains operated on …

kris_allen_210x202

Kris – should be in the top 3 – he is my wild card for the week.

danny_gokey_210x202

Oh Danny – that was an awful performance – I am predicting that you will go home tonight …
