Lazy Sunday

A rarity at our house - a day spent at home, just enjoying each other's company. After my kids (okay okay, and me too) got up from a nap, we ran to Wal-Mart and got a new toy. I think Lee and I had as much fun in it as the boys did!

We ended up the day by grilling hamburgers and then eating outside on the patio. Wonderful!

Valerie & Will: WAR EAGLE!

Valerie & Will had their engagement session today. Though they live in Florida, they are huge Auburn fans (Will is from Auburn) so they made the long drive up here to do their e-pics in Auburn. We started in Jordan-Hare Stadium, and then strolled around for awhile and grabbed pictures anywhere we saw that interested us.

Thanks for a great day y'all!

Kaylin & Ryan

Kaylin & Ryan tied the knot today at beautiful Oaks Plantation in Pike Road. From firetrucks to red carpet - these two had it all!


Here's the groom's paternal grandparents, Hank and Rose, and their seven...yes seven...kids. (The groom's dad is in the smack dab middle.) When I was taking this picture, I was asking Gramma Rose: "Did you EVER sleep?" "Did they drive you crazy?" "Have you regained your sanity?" (The answere were no, yes, no by the way.) I was told this was the first time in 20 years that all seven kids have been in the same place at the same time. What a wonderful day!
Most definitely one of my favorite ring pictures ever. This was one of the most relaxed about-to-walk-down-the-aisle grooms I've ever seen. From left: Best Man, Groom, Officient. The guys got great marks for "plays well with others." The two in the back are the groom's sisters (and the one on the far right is one of my September Brides.) When I said "fawn over the groom" they were all - no way! How about we do this instead? And, as usual, it's those small suggestions that make the shot way better than it would have been otherwise. Everytime I see this picture I crack up at the two of them. Minutes after seeing each other for the first time. :sigh: The First Dance.
Father of the Groom (second from left) was the ringleader in the YMCA dance. It was a HOOT! I can't wait for the repeat performance in September. (Yes, Mr. L., I heard you say this was the last time, but...but...just ONCE more???) Congratulations to the Mr. & Mrs.! Best wishes for a lifetime of love!

Gail & Paul: Wedding!

Gail and Paul were married Saturday, May 10th at Sturdivant Hall in Selma, Alabama. We had gorgeous weather (though a little on the hot side) and the entire wedding party as well as the parents were awesome! I had so much fun with all of you - thanks for a great time!

Congratulations you two! I hope you're having a fabulous honeymoon!




P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAIL!

Gail & Paul: Rehearsal

It was my pleasure tonight to travel to Selma to join Gail & Paul, along with their family and friends, for their wedding rehearsal and dinner. Rehearsal was held at Sturdivant Hall, which is stunningly beautiful and the dinner was at a local hotel that was housing out-of-towners for the event.

Wedding Day pictures coming soon!

Lunch with Grady

Today I got to have lunch with my man Grady.

Fast Food & Grady - two of my favorite things all rolled into one!

Oh yeah, and his mom tagged along too. :) Amanda is one of my dearest friends,

and I don't get to see her often enough at all, so it's always a treat to have lunch with her.

Aren't his eyes the most beautiful shade of blue you've ever seen?

And those butterball feet! AH!
Can't wait to see you two again!

Renaissance Montgomery

This weekend my husband and I went to the Renaissance Montgomery downtown for a little R & R. What a great place!

While there, I developed two new obsessions: geometrics and window reflections.

P.S. For those of you planning a wedding - this would make an awesome venue!
