Birthday Themed Pictures & Cards

View The Big Picture — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 10:34:21 +0000

THEME: VIDEO GAME PARTY

Birthdays have always had a long tradition of games, goodies and yummy food including delicious cakes & desserts!

However, here are two brothers who share everything, even their Birthday Parties.

They are 3 years and 7 days apart and every year they select a party to fit both of their favorite things.

This year, instead of baby games like a bean bag toss, musical chairs or pin the tail on the donkey… it is video games!

Gameboy’s

XBox 360′s

Sony PS3

He is turning 11

He is turning 14

The always have a blast, whatever they plan…but this is a year their day will be filled with games like Halo, Little Big Planet & Mario

Birthday Boys are COOL…

Cooler than traditional parties…

Oh and VIDEO GAMES ARE COOL too!

Custom Cards & Shoots available.

We also photograph parties and provide various Themed Birthday Party Teams to create the perfect party for any budget!

Mr. & Mrs. Jonathan Morrison

View The Big Picture — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 23:13:37 +0000

This weekend we photographed the union between husband and wife, as well as the special bond between those who were joined together surrounding the love of Jonathan & Grace.

This was a cute surprise to see walking into the church, a monogrammed J (Heart) G, for Jonathan Loves Grace. Flowers & Design By: http://www.thecrazydaisies.com

We have so many pictures to share with you, but here are just a few we grabbed out of the many taken on their special day!

Whether it was a prayer to God or a special comment to his bride, My spirit felt an over whelming connection to this unity lighting moment. One I will never forget.

It was an emotional and spiritual wedding.

The Wedding Party.

I love meeting so many wonderful people from both sides of their families on a day that everyone is there to celebrate.

Gracie: The Bride

The Bride & Groom at Westbrook Village Golf Course & Resort

Their rings and heart for their love and the future Morrison babies.

Jonathan is always a ROCK STAR in front of my camera but his “funny man” personality came out in this final shot, while carrying his bride’s train on the way to their truck to head to the reception.

We are excited to share more from their day with you! Please stay tuned!
