So, it has been a minute since I have blogged. A lot has been going on! Some good and some not so good. If you follow me on twitter, you probably know that a couple weeks ago a very close friend of mine passed away after a long battle with cancer. Sad. Although it broke my heart to know she won't be here physically anymore, I am also very happy that she is no longer in any pain. Since I met her at my job in the mail room  at college, Mike and I literally took a one day tour of Wisconsin. (yes...I worked in the mail room while going to college, for the record...next to photography, working in the mail room was by far the best job I have EVER had for a few reasons...1) the people I worked with were awesome and 2) I got to drive all over campus in a big red van. And when I say all over campus...I mean on the side walks and all!)

River Falls is 5 1/2 hours away from our house. 

It was totally worth the 11 hours we spent in the car.

Moving on to the good...it is graduation party season, horse show season and most importantly wedding season! In the past couple weeks we have been to a graduation party in IL for my cousin Missy, an actual graduation ceremony for my cousin Tom, we have been to 3 horse shows AND I have second shot another wedding with the lovely Kayla of Kayla Richards Photography. 

So, for your viewing pleasure...here are a few from the horse shows:

And a preview of the wedding from this past weekend:

I am also planning our wedding (ok...Mike is helping too...but I am the keeper of everything wedding haha). Which is going well...I will have some more posts on that coming up! I am so excited to start making everything for our wedding! I will however share with you a photo of our rings:

I was so excited that we finally found Mike's band :D

I also found this cool Sketchbook project while I was searching for wedding stuff. You sign up, they send you a sketchbook, you draw in it, send it back and it GOES ON TOUR!!! Sweet. So literally TONS of people get to look through these books while they are on tour. How freakin' sweet is that?! I am not much of an actual drawer...but I doodle. A LOT. I am also pumped that this tour comes to Chicago next May. I can't wait to go and see it! 

So, when you see me carrying around this little book...you now know what its for :)

Thanks for stopping by :D 

I will be posting about this past weekend's wedding soon!

The Wilson's | 5.22.10

Last week Saturday I had the pleasure of second shooting for Kayla Filip (Kayla Richards Photography), you can check out her blog here. It was a fantastic day for a wedding! Beautiful weather, beautiful venues and beautiful people...and beautiful love. Ahhh, yes. It was a fabulous day. I am so happy that I was able to tag along. Thanks Kayla!! 

Now, onto the couple. Charles and Corrine. They were so cute and in love. I absolutely love it when a couple has this look in their eyes:

Oh it makes me so happy :D

The ceremony took place in a little church in a town called Manchester. When I came the girls were just finishing up getting ready and the guys were outside hanging out and getting their flowers on.

As everyone was getting ready Kayla and I grabbed the flowers and the rings before the ceremony to get some shots. Now, I didn't think that I was obsessed with flower shots, but I guess I was that day! haha. So, be prepared...because the flowers were gorgeous! :D

I love looking at other people's rings. I think its so neat to see everyone's personalities in their rings!

This next shot is of the bride and her MOH looking at the cake

I know, I know...the flowers!

Mr& Mrs Wilson!

After the ceremony we headed back to Beaver Dam to get some shots of the wedding party. This park was pretty awesome, well aside from a couple kids asking like 903485729856 questions. And yes, they did ask A LOT of questions.

The wedding party was so fun! They just loved to laugh and have a great time!

Sisters :)

Love this!

The best men and the bride

 After the park we headed to the Country Club in Beaver Dam.

Time to cut the cake...which, was very pretty. I believe the bride's grandma made it...she did an excellent job!

Some details.

And to end the night, the garter and flower toss. 

Thanks again Kayla! And thanks to Corrine and Charles for letting me get a sneak peak into your lives!! I wish you the best!
