we watched “wedding crashers” the other day and now my mom and richie and i are saying “what are you DEWING” allllll the time…… so thats where that title is referring too… haha…. while it seems from our blog that we are just kinda hangin out and shooting a wedding every now and then, we are FAR from chillaxin! besides shooting weddings and editing thousands of pictures in just a few days, we have been bridaling it up!! unfortunately, when we shoot bridals we can’t post pics from it until after the bride is married. *sniff* so i wanted to do a quick little post with a few shots of us shooting……

yes... i don't mind getting close... all up in yo bizzznesss... well, its not really That bad! haha : )
and then a few bridal sneak peaks (while trying to keep the dress fairly inconspicuous…. hehe)

ahhh sara and joel…. theres a few things i won’t ever forget about their day…. 1- how awesome they kiss, 2- how happy they were that day, and 3-… how cold it was. they tied the knot on the beach of the north carolina outer banks. and while the weather the days preceding were 75 and sunny, the day of their wedding was, um, not. and while the wind blew and while we all wrapped up as tight as we could, sara and joel both BEAMED that day. and their title we gave them at their engagement session of “best kissers EVER” (besides richie and i of course… haha), they kept that day…

you can't quite capture the wind and cold on this beach in this picture, but let me tell you, it was cold and it was windy. but gorgeous none the less!
sara and joel were so excited to do a first look!! and we are CERTAINLY glad they did, because had they Not, i’m afraid they wouldn’t have gotten many of the two of them after the ceremony because all of us were like little popsicles by the end of the ceremony. so they were VERY happy with their decision to do the first look! here are just Some of my favorites…..

loved both the color and the black and white, so couldn't help but post both... this shot is HAWT! well shot richie!

we snuck by the reception venue earlier in the morning... and the ONLY minute the sun was out all day... go figure. boooooo sun.

two thumbs up on the wedding favors! their married name is Manning so they got manning brewing company glasses!! EXCELLENT you guys!!

congratulations sara and joel!! you two are amazing together! we are honored we got to spend your day with you! xxoo, jamie and richie

one of my new years resolutions was to take more pics of our kids. i know that sounds CraZy… i mean we ARE photographers… right?? shouldn’t we have like a million pics of all our kids?? well, it just doesn’t happen. you see zack, a lot, on our blog and on facebook. main reason: he’s here all day. all the other kids are either at school here or at school 800 miles away. so we get more pics of z, cause, percentagely (i just made up that word i think) he’s here WAY more than his 5 other brothers and sisters. yesterday, though, the weather was supposed to be nice. the kids had early release so we’d have plenty of time to get everyone ready, so it seemed Perfect. well, “perfect” doesn’t really happen for us much. so as our luck would have it, the weather was FREEZING, and the kids weren’t in the most cooperative mood, so we ended up shooting in our stairwell, and mae and jaden agreed to do a Couple in a field down the street, but it was hard with the bitter wind. i don’t blame them. i get really grumpy when i shoot in the cold, so i was ready to head back to our rather warm, safe van pretty quickly after we got out there! so here are some of my favs from our “kinda sorta session” yesterday….

richie grabbed a couple pics of me dressing z... and i am so glad he did. i will miss this time as he gets bigger...

i swear he's thinking "yeah, right. you think i'm going to cooperate with you for this?? HA!" but he sure is a cutie!

glad you can't tell i'm almost wrestling him to get him to sit in my lap... oh well.. we had good intentions...

miss jaden. almost 8 years old. my beautiful free spirit... i love her mind... and she always makes us smile!

my gorgeous maegan.... 14 years old. taller than me. so in love with lil z. i am so proud to call her my daughter... <3

and then theres brennan... ten years old. eats like a bird. least likely to sit for pictures. has one of the kindest hearts you will find in a boy... and yes, he's a momma's boy and i'm totally ok with that!
