Amber and Dustin: Pt. 1

Photobucket


Amber and Dustin. Leandra is Amber's cousin, and we had a blast taking pictures, hanging out with family, and even managed to do a little bit of dancing. Here are some of the fav's:

They don't make churches like this anymore. Stone fronts with big wooden doors that you can open up and actually see the inside of the church.

And on top of that, the church was on top of a hill, with this great path leading down to where the wedding party got ready. In the words of Flight of the Conchords,
"conditions were perfect":

Amber and Dustin were headed to Ireland for the honeymoon, so they tried to get a taste of that with the green dresses, Irish-city table names, green beer, and.... the bagpiper! I couldn't help myself with the moody clouds, cemetery and kilted bagpiper. You just don't see bagpipers in cemeteries everyday.

Leandra got some sa-weet (does spelling sweet that way make me sound like a sportscaster?) getting ready pictures. I love looking through them afterwards. She wasn't incredibly optimistic about the getting ready location--the church room was just an old, wood-paneled banquet room that was clean and everything, but dripped 1970's... but the light ended up being fantastic (In my opinion). Lots of windows from different directions...lots of cool pictures...

I love this picture. Ashley (Amber's sister) and her daughter, Jaysa (the flower girl).

Last one before the next post...Jacob (Amber's brother) is a rock star. Had to get a picture of him receiving the holy-rock blessing of Jesus and St... Ambrose? Axl? Anthony? Something like that.

Daniela and Preston

Here's some of our favorites from Daniela and Preston's wedding, back in April!

Gettin' her gettin' ready on, with help from her sister, Diana...





I love the pictures Leandra takes. I think is my favorite of hers from before the ceremony:



...although this one's pretty sweet as well.



Daniela and Preston met before the ceremony for a few minutes, which is always good for some great pictures...

Practicing "the kiss":



Preston had this look on his face all day. I think the word is "smitten"... or maybe "twitterpated".



Leandra and I are off to paint our new apartment. I'll add some more later.

Take care,
Grant

Bethany

Bethany and Kelsey (see post below) are best friends, so it made sense to do their senior sessions together. It stayed laid-back and relaxed, partly because they had fun together, and partly because... well... Kels is my sister, so she's pretty comfortable with me!

Here are a few favorites of Bethany from that day:









Beautiful girls, aren't they?

Kelsey

We took Kelsey's senior pictures back in December, but it's never too late to post, right? Here are a few favorites.







She's a dancer!



We updated the Life gallery on the website with a few more of Kelsey, so you can check them out there!
