Busy, Fun Weekend!

We had a busy weekend at the Pavilion with two events with start times only 19 hours apart. I don't know how Kathy does it! We had a great surprise Friday, with Mark showing up for a visit from San Francisco. His parents are celebrating their 60th anniversary this weekend, so congrats to them!And I'm thinking, "Time Warp" here. It's 2009, isn't it? This image is totally 1979 - except for the bald heads, grey hair, extra weight, and wrinkles, but hey - who cares about that stuff when the old gang is back together ? - Johnson, George, Mark and Kevin. Saturday, we had a wedding and reception. Here I just can't pass up the opportunity to take an image of the photographer taking an image. Coincidentally, our bride Mandy is a nurse at Olathe Med where I spend my "first job" time.George is always ready to help keep us going with his great attitude and totally random jokes and stories. After the wedding and reception were over on Saturday, we somehow had enough energy to head over to Touche's to help celebrate Maria's birthday. We we hardly able to catch a word with her because she was on the dance floor the whole night.
Charlie and Valerie came awhile later and enjoyed watching the disco queens (Kathy and I) on the dance floor. I handed my camera to Kevin to hold and did not realize he was snapping away. Fortunately, I have a crop tool, so nothing embarrassing (to me) will turn up here - or on Facebook.George and Joel had a little time to catch up. We also ran into other high school friends, Danny, Jill and Dan. It was an impromptu reunion. What fun!
Here Jill is trying hard to keep up with Kathy.
Happy Birthday, Maria! We sure enjoyed celebrating with you!

Katy and David - Sept. 18, 2009 . . . (or 1949?)

Last night was a dream-come-true for Katy and David. They had chosen a 1940's theme for their wedding. What a ritzy dame Katy is, in a period style dress and cascade boquet!And David was the cat's meow in a white dinner jacket.
Leah was big sis's Maid of Honor. And best-friend Mike was David's Best Man - looking spiffy as well!Each bridesmaid's dress was a different style from the 40's. They were knee-length, very swanky, and showed off their gams to their best advantage.When you've got gorgeous dames, you gotta have swell looking guys to escort them! And now that I'm out of 40's slang, I'll just say that Katy looks so happy here with her sibs, Jessica, Leah and Jacob.
Katy just had to know what was going on behind her! Congratulations and best wishes for a lifetime of happiness!

Katy and David's Rehearsal

Tonight we gathered at Church of the Nativity for Katy and David's rehearsal. I was in awe of the architecture! The natural light is fabulous and I can't wait for all the decorations to be in place tomorrow evening.
I'm not thinking the guys and girls are in sync with where they are supposed to stand - but no big deal.
Katy and David practicing for the "introduction". They are so cute and such a fun couple. We'll have a great time tomorrow!

Just Playing Around

I am eagerly anticipating Katy and David's wedding on Friday. I've gotten all my projects done for my clients, and I was messing around with some artistic framing today to keep myself busy until then. I grabbed some of the images from Rosie's senior session to use.
We had such a good time, and I have a blast creating one-of-a-kind art for my clients. What do you think?
