:) I'm funny about weddings. I do them for my brother a few times a month ... and then I'll do them for people I know. Mostly because my family/kid business is busy ... and weddings are REALLY busy. BUT when the shoot went like THIS I thought ... "Hmmmm, I think I'll add weddings to my site." So I'll be working on that too, now. You know - because I have NOTHING else going on in my life, right???
We all know Mandy is GOR-GE-OSO!!! (see last post) But it's SO many things that I love about her. She "GETS" me and all my crazy ideas and she just LETS ME DO IT!!!! **** moment of silence for people like that ... ***** love them. She only laughed a little when I got so giddy when I saw her shoes ... She only laughed a little when I jumped up and down so much when I saw her dress ... She only laughed a little when MY ALL TIME FAVORITE IMAGE WAS TAKEN!!!!!!!!!!!! But it was only because she loves me too ... I think??? :)
Can you SEE HER SHOES??? Freakin FABULOUS! Someone stopped us during the shoot and asked if she was a shoe model. No was our answer. "Are you just modeling this dress, then?" No was our answer. "So what is this shoot for?" uhhh hello crazy person... HER OWN BRIDAL PICTURES!!! :) But it was because she had SUCH fun things (shoes, broach, jewelry) that she stood out from ANY OTHER BRIDE out anywhere! YAY for gorgeous MANDY and her fabulous originalness!!! :)
On this one ... I squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeealed w/ delight!!!! I mean COME ONE - REALLY NOW .... EEEEE GIDDY!!!!
I could end my career now being completely happy after those last two shots! ;)
Couldn't she completely pass for a bride from old times.... (is there a better word for that... find it will ya?)
Nate said on the above one "ummm the sun is there." Yes. was my answer. :) It's a good thing he's not a photographer. :)
OK - these two ... couldn't decide. Black and white or color??
The LIGHT ... ohhhhhhhhh beautiful house the light!!! :)
Now - there are a gazillion more to go through. So I'm sure I"ll post again. In fact - I haven't even proofed these. :) This was me randomly picking images ... THAT is how good she is! :) But if you were Mandy, which one would you choose to print for your wedding??? :)
I'm off to continue cleaning. The blinds/windows are nearly complete. The splits in my fingers are raw and bleeding. Mr. Clean is freakishly fluorescent yellow. Wonder how it got that way? Magic Eraser somehow SOMEHOW makes things disappear. I tried it on MY wrinkles... didn't work. Stupid product.
*EDITED* oops - I forgot to show you the shoes. Thanks Joanna for reminding me... love you!! :)
i can't see the shoes! Beautiful as always!

FREAKIN' GLORIOUS!!!!
Yes. Yes, you should do weddings. At least promote more of the bridals and engagements. Because of COURSE you don't have anything better to do ;)
I'm sorry about the cleaning...it's a pain.
