Can you see where this is going?

I don't yet have my slide shows for this crazy day ready to go- but each time after these sessions I am filled with some excitement and just wanted to make a quick post.

It is so very important to me to send a couple thank yous out to some very special ladies who were pivotal in making this happen. The day (and the dress trashing girls) wouldn't have been nearly as beautiful if it weren't for the hair and makeup who offered their services absolutely free! Marie Trickett, a former hairdresser turned wedding cake maker extraordinaire did our hair this year. Seeing her in action I am eternally grateful!! And I have also seen her yummy cakes first hand. Her website is http://www.vanillabeancakes.com/

And also, a big thanks to Chris from Alluring Designs. For the second year in a row not only did she give up her Sunday morning but she does with a smile on her face. She is an exceptional professional and I am so happy that a year or so ago our lives in the wedding industry crossed paths and we met! She is wonderful at making a face "wedding photo" ready. As a photographer, I always suggest makeup-IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE :-)

Stay tuned for a slide show- it's coming!

Because I know she's checking...

I just have a hunch that Lisa is waiting for her slide show so I thought it best to get my butt in gear since another double wedding weekend is approaching!

There were so many good things about September 13- unfortunately, the weather wasn't one of them. But despite a really dreadful forecast, THERE WAS NOT A DROP OF RAIN! Although the winds blew some mighty chilly gusts, the day went off without a hitch- including the outdoor ceremony!

Chris from Alluring Designs came to the house in the morning to do the girls makeup. She did a phenomenal job and brought quite the book of before and afters with her! I urged her to post some on her website so that people can see the difference that a professional makeup artist can make. I highly recommend her so if you are still in the searches for someone to come do makeup for your wedding day, it's worth checking out!

Lisa's flowers were beautiful and she had the most well behaved flower girls that I have ever met! Actually, despite the chilly willy temperatures neither the little or big girls complained once! I had such a fun day- everyone was eager to be a part of the wedding party and made my day so relaxing!

Even the "ring bearer" didn't complain once :-)

There is nothing like in-laws with some nice acreage! Actually, to date it is some of the nicest few acres that I have had the pleasure to be on. Not only was the tented reception held on site, we were able to use the property for most of the wedding photos.

And so a slide show from Lisa and Jason's day is HERE. And I promise this was actually Lisa's and Jason's first dance- for anyone who has followed and knows for how many slide shows this song has been used!
