Kristen and Shane - Wedding 8/19/09

Busy week! We actually had 2 weddings this past week. The first was on a Wednesday! Kristen and Shane live in Colorado (I think, I keep getting confused and know for sure it is out west...). Since they had to make the drive out here they decided to do a very low key affair at Kristen's parents home in the country. They invited only immediate family and had an intimate ceremony in the backyard and then a wedding luncheon after. Kristen loves all things vintage and was having trouble finding a dress she liked so she ended up wearing her mom's wedding gown and veil, good thing they are the same size! It looked perfect on Kristen and you could tell she was so happy about it. Congratulations Kristen and Shane!

Amanda and Phil - Wedding 8/22/09

Amanda and Phil were married at St Joseph's in Tiffin and their reception was at Meadowbrook park in Bascom. We had a superb day with them. We were on a TIGHT schedule after the ceremony to get some family and bridal party photos in at the church before services started but everyone was prepared to start right away and we ended up with time to spare! After that we headed to the Tiffin Development Center for some "park" photos where we spent half the time picking bugs out of the layers of Amanda's dress...We took some gorgeous photos on the bridge over a little creek there. We had never been to Meadobrook before but the building there is gorgeous. It in one large round room with windows all around. I had some lemon cake that was absolutely scrumptious! Congratulations Phil and Amanda!!

Jenn and Nick - 8/8/09 Wedding

Yesterday we joined Jenn and Nick for their wedding. It was quite a day...The ceremony was at the Toledo Botanical Gardens, and it was RAINING! We started out several hours prior to the ceremony to get the "formal" photos so for a while we were relegated to the gazebo where the ceremony was taking place. Finally after a while it stopped raining to we were able to move on to the gardens and other areas of the park. Everyone made the best of the weather and it actually ran pretty smoothly. They were so much fun to work with and Jenn looked so great, you never would have known she spent several hours in the rain! The wedding cake was so yummy Eric even ate his own piece for once! I had the chocolate which was very moist and a little mocha tasting, mmmmmm. Thanks Nick and Jenn for a great day!

And Jenn - These 2 photos have already made it to the website!

The Firsdon Family

So last weekend we took a few photos of my Dads siblings. They get together and celebrate thier birthdays when they are all in the same decade, I won't say which they were celebrating this time... So we went to the farm where they grew up and took some photos and ate some yummy cake. This was one of my favorites.
