Happy Thanksgiving

Bella caught chewin’ on our thanksgiving decorations

It’s that time of year again to reflect on the countless gifts God has given us. It makes me overwhelmed with happiness… there is just so much to be thankful for.

Just some of the many things I am thankful for:

  • My Jayse… My love, my best friend. I don’t know what I would do without him.
  • Our beautiful home.
  • All my wonderful family.  Especially my mom and little brother Andrew.
    Also, little miss Bella, who adds so much joy to my world.
  • All my awesome friends and the many great times we’ve shared.
  • The health and happiness of myself and all my loved ones.
  •  My flourishing little business… and the joy of having found such a fulfilling career that fits with me perfectly. It’s an amazing thing to be able to say that couldn’t see myself doing anything else.
  • My couples… of course, you guys rock! You’re energy, appreciation and excitement for the images we create together are the total reason that I love doing what I do. Thanks so much for all the referrals and genuine help in getting my name out there. Its made for an insanely successful year and I couldn’t have done it without you. <3

Well, I’m off to mom’s place to help cook up some Thanksgiving goodness. :)

Hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving!!

Mabel + Sherwin’s Wedding!

I had such an incredible time at Mabel and Sherwin’s wedding last Saturday!
The ceremony and wedding were both held at the lovely Wynn Las Vegas.

Mabel and Sherwin were beaming with happiness all day, and their joy was very contagious. We had good amount of time for fun wedding party portraits and romantics, which is always a blast (and also is why ::warning:: this may be a pretty long post)!!

One of the flower girls, Amber, wanted to help out so I gave her my second camera to get photos with during the getting ready time. The cutest little assistant ever. :)

A romantic 1st sight. I just love Sherwin’s expression the moment he saw Mabel…

 This must be the most men I’ve ever seen on the floor for a garter toss. Of course, the $100 chip incentive may have helped a little. What an awesome idea to get everyone involved!

Mabel switched dresses half-way through the reception. I am in love with her Chinese dress! It looked so gorgeous on her.

And of course, had to include this from the photo booth Mabel and Sherwin had for their cocktail and reception. They used Partybooths.com. Here’s us being goofy towards the end up the night. Fun times!

Michelle and Mark

 Sorry if I have been neglecting my little blog lately. October has been a crazy busy month. And I can see why! The weather has been phenomenal. What a perfect time of year for a wedding. :)

Mark and Michelle’s wedding was held at St Elizabeth chapel and Stratosphere tower. And it was coordinated by the fabulous Stephanie of CLM weddings.

Michelle looked incredible in the late afternoon sunlight, counting down the moments until she and Mark would be pronounced husband and wife.

I thought it was adorable that Michelle was so short and Mark quite the opposite. But it just seemed to make her fit perfectly in his arms.

What a fun celebration! Even Michelle and Mark’s parents were on the dance floor having a great time.

Bella’s 1st Birthday

It was Bella’s birthday on the 24th. Here she is above showing off her new dress!

We also went to the doggie bakery to get her some special birthday treats and a new squeaky toy to celebrate. I’m not sure she understood what it was all about, but she was very happy nonetheless. :)
