Tottie & Dan are Married!

Where do we begin with this awesome celebration... Tottie and Dan are such an amazing and fun couple. We feel blessed to know them and were so excited to be a part of their day! Their wedding was beautiful! The ceremony and reception were held at the Holiday Inn in Columbia. It had rained the night before and the morning of, but a couple hours before their ceremony, the sun broke through the clouds to shine on their day. I stayed with the girls, while Drew hung out with the guys. It was so much fun taking the getting ready pictures, watching Tottie and the girls laugh while getting dolled-up. I've known most of them since high school (hi Heather, Linz, Jen & Colleen!) It was a wonderful day. And our friend and fabulous photographer, Andrea Ackermann, joined us later in the afternoon to second shoot and help out (thanks so much for everything, A!)

We had a hard time narrowing down our favorites for the blog, but here they are. We'll be posting their slideshow in a couple days, so stay tuned!

My multitasking BFF, Lindsay, was a bridesmaid and also officiated the ceremony. She's become a real pro! I now pronounce you Mr. & Mrs. Daniel Mummert!

The DJ played "Jump in the Line" by Harry Belafonte and a conga line instantly ensued. Most of you are probably familiar with this song from the movie Beetlejuice...so much fun. Shake, shake, shake, senora!

Old McDonald Had a Farm

When you can't make it to the zoo, bring it to you... My sister and her husband had a petting zoo come over for Anthony & Vinnie's birthday party last month, and the kids (& adults) LOVED IT. It was chilly and the skies were gray, but a bunch of people still came out to enjoy the animals and cupcakes. There were roosters, bunnies, ducks, sheep, a goat, a miniature pony, an alpaca... it. was. awesome.

The Burcham Family

P0007_03.jpg

We were so honored when our friend, Andrea, asked us to photograph her family last month. Since she's a fellow photographer, I was SUPER nervous about getting everything right. But I quickly forgot about that during the drive to her parents' house when it started raining really hard. So hard, we even had to pull over at one point! There was no turning back, though, because one of her sisters was moving to Texas that following weekend and this was the last chance to get some shots of the whole family. When we arrived, I instantly knew I would love them. Their house was filled with laughter and good smelling food - it reminded me of being home at my mom's house :) Since the rain was still coming down, we started out on their front porch for a few shots...then ventured out to the driveway and yard in between drizzles...and at the very end of the session, the sun decided to peek out and give us some love. It was a great ending to the day. Andrea, spending time with your family was wonderful...thank you for letting us document your life together!
