A teaser from the Radford wedding!!
So almost exactly 24 hours ago I got home from a week of SoCal sun in the warm of Desert Hot Springs (108* on sunday mind you).
I’ve been looking through the five memory cards worth of pics I took over the three days that I shot and I’m super stoked about this set, the collins set, and the terziu family sets as I work on them all to get them done.
Here’s a teaser from each! As always, ENJOY!!!!

Thanks for reading!!!
Editing like a mad man!!
Hi hi
I have been working on a secret (a new website!!!) that I think I just spoiled lol.
I’ve also been editing pics like it’s my day job lol.
I’ve finished editing the first half of the 2012 Potomac Youth Ministries convention pics AND all of the prom pics for one of my kids at church.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them!!!
I also wrote a new song this morning but I think it needs a chill bridge part; we’ll see.
Anyways, on to the pics

Sweet nothings…
That’s SOME love…
Love is like a tree.
It has rings that it grows that tells stories of its life. They say by reading the rings of a tree, you can see when it went through dry spells and when it went through easy times. When it had to be conservative and when it could flourish effortlessly.
It has branches that reach far from its roots to nourish and replenish that love. Like any great tree, it produces seeds that can grow into new trees.
Eventually if that love is healthy, you’ll have a yard full of trees.
These next few pictures are of a 50 year old love grown by the Pelletiers.
Definitely, as always, enjoy.

A celebration of 50 years of love...

Family and friends here to celebrate!

Some of the attendees of the original wedding were here that day

Proposing for the FIRST TIME EVER. Back in the day you just knew and got married.

A renewal of vows

A kiss

A dance

Being fruitful, they multiplied
Congratulations to the Pelletiers!!! May they have many, many more years of love to grow!!!
Love. 50 years in the making.
What if you married someone because you knew it was right… not because every one told you, you should?
What if you married someone you knew you’d love… even knowing love takes time?
What if you married someone you hadn’t proposed to… you just knew they’d be okay with that?
What if you waited 50 years to propose to the love of your life… only to already know the answer?
Congratulations to the Sherards and they’re 50th anniversary.
Here’s a sneak preview of the love I’ll be uploading next…

A proposal 50 years in the making...
Two bloggerific days in a row?! Rare form, indeed!!
I found three more personal loves from the Hounshell set that I had to share. There will be more from other sets coming soon.
Fun and fresh!
As always, enjoy!!!

Do you? Do you?

La Tigre?

The family that can post together... goes together!
And one more wide shot because I can’t count….

Awwwwwww
KISS!!!
Yes, KISS is both an acronym for “Keep It Simple, Stupid” AND it’s a critical moment when two people’s lips meet and say hello.
It’s also a filler blog post since I’m editing like a crazy person.
As always, ENJOY!!!

So without further ado, I present to you, DC.
(below are TWO sets of pictures. One is done with my D90. The second set is pretty much a walk through of the day via my Hipstamatic awesomeness.)
AS ALWAYS… ENJOY! xD
