Amy's Bridals

A few weeks ago I photographed my cousin Amy's bridal portraits. She was married last weekend, so I am posting them now. Here are a few of my favorites.

Kyle & Daina

Kyle and Daina were such a great couple to work with. They were so relaxed and fun to talk to. From the moment Daina and I first starting discussing wedding details, I knew that we would have fun together. Here are a few of the favorites from their engagement session a couple of weeks ago (I have been a little behind in posting).

Melinda & Anthony

Melinda and Anthony are such a wonderful couple to photograph. They were energetic and fun throughout the shoot - even when we were being attacked by mosquitoes. Here are a few favorites.

Gracie

As many of you who check my blog often know, our puppies Annie and Sarah passed away about 2 months ago. It has been so hard without them. We knew that we wanted another dog someday, but we weren't sure when would be a good time. We were still hurting from the loss, but had starting considering rescuing a dog from the animal shelter. We went to the shelter last week, and, of course, I wanted to take them all home. How would we ever decide? I knew that something would have to happen to let me know which dog we should take in. Well, a couple of days ago some friends called us, and they had found a sweet little stray puppy who was very hungry and homeless. They said that her little tummy was flat and empty. After advertising in the paper and at the shelter, no one had claimed her, and since they already had three pets, they called us and asked if we would like to take her home. They had started calling her Grace because of her lack of gracefulness. That soon became Gracie. So, we went to meet her and brought her home. She is such a sweetie. As you can see, she is a skinny little thing with long legs. And, she has the cutest little underbite! She is adjusting nicely to her new home. She slept through the night without so much as a wimper. She is still figuring us and her home out, but I know she is getting used to everything. Welcome home Gracie!

Manny & Iris

Manny & Iris were married last weekend at Trinity Church. It was a beautiful ceremony. They did a great job of incorporating some really meaningful events into the ceremony. Here are a few of my favorites.

Mr. & Mrs. Henry

John and Casey were married at Bacon Heights in a beautiful ceremony. I love the vibrant colors she chose for the flowers and dresses. Congrats you two!
The ring bearer loved having his picture made!




As they were leaving, Casey got birdseed in her mouth! Yuck!

Ok, I wasn't going to do this...

...but I really want you to see what I have been working on. After many computer problems, I have finished the intro sequence to my new website. Yes, I am building a new website. I have been wanting a new site for a VERY long time! My husband is helping me, and I am building it myself! I am so excited. So, please keep in mind that it is still in the works. After the intro, it just stops; so, you will just have to navigate away from the page. And, none of the links are active yet. I want something to be a surprise. But, check it out if you have a moment - http://www.shanrenee.com/newsite/. Let me know what you think!
