I am still playing catch up on past weddings, I have a few more to blog!

I had the awesome oppurtunity to assist Ryan Estes when I was in Pennsylvania for another wedding last month.

He was so easy and fun to work with, too bad we don’t live closer! He does some amazing work as well, you can check out his blog from the same wedding here.

Cynthia and Dan were married at the Park Hyatt-Bellevue in downtown Philidelphia. I got to drive Ryan’s car all over the city, in rush hour Friday night. It was an experience, I even got to honk the horn once! haha Their ceremony was at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Communion, such a cute place!

This is the groom whispering to his best man’s son:
The men: Cynthia arrives in style!

Lots of laughter heard that day!
The beautiful Cynthia used to be a model if you couldn’t tell:Gotta love a girl and her shoes!

This was the sign on the women’s restroom. I just loved it!

The bride and groom overseeing their reception room:

Thanks Ryan for letting me be a part of this fun day, I had a blast!

Whew, get ready to sit back and enjoy a lot of photos!

To be totally honest, I didnt take that many photos. I had my camera on me a lot, but only took it out of my Shootsac a few times. All I really did was relax and sleep. The ship rocked a lot…rocked me right to sleep a few times a day!! I have never napped so much in my whole life. The food was exellent in the dining room, and the staff was enjoyable. I met some really cool people and I really appreciate Wedj.com for setting this up!

I didnt get to many seminars, but its okay. I learned a lot about myself on this trip, learning and meeting new people was worth the experience!

Leaving San Diego…..

Mini golf course and jogging track. So neat!

Michele on night one. Who says no to free drinks??


This was my first experience trying escargot. Yes, mother, I ate snails and I actually really liked them! Very garlic-y and butter-y!

Okay funny story time! Carie walked in on a gentlemen using the restroom. This was her reaction after she saw he forgot to lock the door!
And his reaction realizing we were still standing outside!
Carie and Michele:
Sunset on one of the nights after we left Cabo:

Melanie and her crew sat at our dinner table, they were so much fun!

This photo was taken by me, in the mirror in the elevator. I love the mans expression of how crazy I look right then. Yes, that is a cocktail in my hand!
Carie, Michele and me goofing around with the fish eye!

Okay this is going to be a long one! Meet Kirsten and Brett. Kirsten is my sorority sister and one of my very best friends. Brett is her long time beau who followed her all the way to Florida and back out of love!

They are getting married June 14th 2008 and have chosen me to be their photographer. I was out in Illinois for another wedding over Labor Day weekend so it gave us a chance to get together at Brett’s parents house for their Engagement session! The little white one is Louis, their Bichon Frise.

Can’t wait for the wedding!!!

I made it back safe and sound with no sea sickness! I will do a larger blog with more photos once I get them edited. For now, I have 2 weddings in the next 2 days! And an engagement session that is long overdue to blog about.

Teaser time! (photo by Dawn Malone):
