A Unique Brittish Columbia Wedding + Some Pics of Our Vacay
This wedding has already been featured by some of my favorite fellow bloggers and normally I don't like to publish something if it's been shown even a few times, but I just couldn't help sharing this one with you because I think it is so different...and I LOVE different! Also, the bride included their background story and that always makes me more interested in featuring a wedding...hint, hint ;-) Photographed by Anastasia Photography, Ashley & Christopher were married in Squamish, British Columbia. Love it! Even the name of the town is unique. Anyhow...here we go!

A Blue & Orange Wedding at The Hollywood Schoolhouse
I have a problem. I freely admit it...I am an image hoarder. Plain and simple. Do you think they make support groups for this? Then again, maybe it's not a problem. I mean, I run this blog to, among other things, promote photographers and their work...so why not post as many images as possible, right? I mean, you don't mind do you? You come here to see great images and that you shall get. Case in point, today's wedding submitted by Amelia Soper at Amelia Soper Photography. There were just so many really good story telling images, I'm pretty much going to show them all.

A Stunning Downtown St. Louis Missouri & Stone Hill Winery Engagement Session
When Cory & Jackie Phillips from Ada Photography sent me Lindsay & Nicolas's engagement session shot on June 25, 2011 in Downtown St. Louis Missouri and the Stone Hill Winery in Hermann, I started jumping up and down like a little girl who just got her first Barbie Doll. I swear...I wish there was a video camera pointed at my office then I could show you. Seriously, I was so excited about this engagement session I even re-arranged my schedule to get it to you sooner, that's how great I think it is. And I'm pretty sure you're gonna agree.

Fab You Bliss Wednesdays: Fried Green Tomatoes with a Nice Pinot Grigio
Last week the hubby, Quinley and I went to Lake Tahoe to spend a milestone birthday with my sister and her husband. I won't tell you which "milestone" it was since we are only 17 months apart and that would give away my age...wink, wink.
Anyhow, on my sister's birthday we had a celebration dinner at a restaurant called The River Ranch which overlooks the Truckee River between Tahoe City and Squaw Valley. The River Ranch is also a lodge and if you haven't been there, I'd highly recommend it.
So if you follow this blog you'll already know I lived at Lake Tahoe for 10 + years and Click Here to Read More
An Intimate COLORADO Wedding + Pupp-Awg’s First Trip to The Lake
I adore an intimate event held at a private residence. And this wedding is just such a celebration. Photographed by the marvelous Christina Kiffney atChristina Kiffney Photography, Laura and Rob were married at their beautiful mountain home in Colorado which they lovingly prepared months ahead of time to create the perfect lush surroundings with a natural feel for their intimate celebration.

Leaving Lake Tahoe + A Coconino National Forest E-SESSION
Sorry for the later than usual post today. We are driving home from Lake Tahoe and my mobile Internet connection keeps losing signal. Ah the perils of working on the road ;-) So anyhow, our vacation was mostly wonderful. Aside from my husband's 4Runner getting totaled on the first day we arrived, I can't express how happy I am that we are alive and we got to spend some time with my sister and her husband over her birthday week. Also I must say how thrilled I am that my sister has such wonderful friends who are always so welcoming when we visit. They are truly an exceptional extended Click Here to Read More
A Lovely Lake View Pavillion Wedding in Foxboro, Massachusetts
I love these shoes. They're so pretty and delicate looking, definitely right up my alley. One of the difficulties of running a blog that features weddings is I'm constantly seeing things I want. But since I've already had my wedding, I must live vicariously through the ones I publish here. That's okay though, especially when they're as pretty as this one sent to me by Alicia Williams at Cordele Photography. Beth and Scott were married on April 30, 2011 in a lovely ceremony followed by a lively reception at Lake View Pavillion in Foxboro, Massachusetts. So let's not waste any more Click Here to Read More

Kitchen Remodel
I was planning on doing a full before and after here, but since so many people have inquired about photographs of the progress and given there's still quite a few more surprises to show before its fully complete, I decided to go ahead and post some of these images now. Obviously the first few images show the kitchen before we started. Not a bad looking kitchen, but it's going to look beautiful.
Yellow! I can't even begin to explain how excited I will be when all this yellow is gone. FYI...there are a lot of pictures here of where Click Here to Read More
