Nikki is a shoe girl. I have a shoe thing. Although most of the time……I’m kind of known for just my cow (girl) boots. I love having funky, fun shoes and think they add just a splash of spunk to the wedding photos.
I like cowboy boots and started wearing them when during a few wedding I had to go into the mud and water and would end up soaked by the end of the night. I have black and brown, but have been looking to get some lime green and aqua. Jim bought me some pink ones once, but they weren’t a cool pink, more like pepto bismol pink and kind of hokie.. but I’m still searching for the lime green and aqua. I have seen them on a few sites, but would nearly need to mortgage the house.
Nikki’s shoes were great. They really stood out in photos, and showed some of her fun, trendy personality too. She had great colors in the wedding — they were so vibrant and fun.
Even the cake was bright and cheerful. I didn’t have a piece of the cake but bet it was tasty!
Eric was one of those guys just funny and ready to joke and play to the camera. I really appreciate his eagerness and playfulness. It made my job pretty easy. I always think it’s funny when one of the bridesmaids are a sister of the groom b/c her expression when we do this shot is pretty funny and sometimes the best part of the photograph in general. Eric’s sister is the one at the 1:00 position and when I asked them to do this, her expression was like…….’you want me to do WHAT?’
I love this picture of Nikki.
and i think this might have made the limo driver a little mad… he was rushing us quite a bit… and i just had to get this last shot.. it was WELL worth it!
this is nikki’s veil from generations past. it’s a family heirloom and i just happen to adore veils…..so…. i know she prob thought that veil got lotsa lens time, but it was beautiful.
I never get tired of this shot. Never.
she was UBER prepared and even made their thank you signs with the wedding colors. Good stuff! Congratulations Nikki and Eric. You guys were really fun and I loved working with you.
Now, there’s no hiding from the fact the holidays are coming.
Hope everyone isn’t burnt out with Christmas shopping and holiday madness. I’ve been ‘trying’ to do most of my online shopping this year but have had to go out a few times. Needless to say what I do have done is a feeling of accomplishment once all is said and done.
If there is someone on your list that you are trying to figure out what to get them- buy them the gift of photography. You can buy a package for a friend or family member and they will receive an email from me with your gift giving information to the recipient. This isn’t like one of those sappy gift cards that secretly expire in 3 months. The gift-email doesn’t expire.
OR… if you know a bride to be that is needing help with her wedding plans and budget, donate a gift towards her photography fund.
Photography is and always will be the gift that keeps on giving. Year after year the things you hold dearest are the photographs of those you love the most. Photography is the PERFECT gift for everyone.
On a side note I’ve found a new love which is pumpkin egg nog. Now, I’m sure you know that I’m on a diet… *sigh, eternally* but I have been resourceful in how I cut calories. I mix the egg nog with 1/4 cup egg nog to 1/2 cup of skim milk. I still get the pumpkin flavor w/o all the pumpkin calories. 
20 lbs down and counting.
Until next post.
