Happy Halloween from Bennett and Chloe

Friday, October 31st, 2008

No they arent’ in their costumes, but they just looked too darn cute and “fallish” for me not to snap some shots today. Happy Halloween from our family to yours! If you are in the area enjoy the awesome weather today and tomorrow. PERFECTION!

I am fairly certain my heart will explode one day from love I feel for these two. They are the coolest, sweetest, most fun children in the world. We are overly blessed.

Sorry for the immodest position. Blame it on the “Sit and Spin”, there is no feminine way to sit on it.

Blair and Jon 10.4.08

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

A couple of weeks ago, I got to drive out to Halifax, Virginia to cover Blair and Jon’s wedding. You may remember Blair from her baseball bridal session. Blair told me she was getting married out at “the pond” on her property during her bridal session, and I thought it seemed a bit odd that she would refer to her venue like this. Little did I know that this “pond” might as well be a lake. It is HUGE!

It was a perfect day for a true southern wedding. Fall accents were everywhere. The barns and wagons on the property worked perfectly with the fall theme. Throw in 500 guests and you’ve got yourself a party. Here are some images from the day…

The property is so large, in fact, that Blair was driven down to the wedding area in a antique Ford Deluxe (if I remember correctly!).

Blair’s girls were transported by an Amish friend and his horse and buggy. It was seriously one of the coolest entrances I’ve seen at a wedding!

Blair’s maid of honor belted out “Son of a Preacher Man” at the reception. It was great and so fitting.

There were too many wagons around not to get a shot on one. A wagon wheel ring shot!

I thought it was cool that all the guys wore their baseball hats at the reception once the party got going.

Blair and Jon, we wish you nothing but the best. Your families sure know how to make people feel at home. We had a blast spending the day with you. We can’t wait for you to see the rest!
