THE BRIDAL PARTY

THE HOLMAN WEDDING • April 12, 2012

 I got a special opportunity to second shoot my first wedding with Kim Smith Photography! Here is a look at some of the special images I got to capture :-)

A marriage of two

A marriage of two
is for love that is true

A marriage of two
is always something new

A marriage of two
happens sometimes out of the blue

A marriage of two
is worth it when its due

A marriage of two
is a marriage of trust
Many can find themselves lost
It can be an expensive cost

They are only very few
who have a clue
of when love accrues

A marriage of two
is about love making
It is not about
money raking

A marriage of two
can be bad
A marriage of two
can be sad
You should only be glad if
A marriage of two
is for love that is true

Happy Easter!

I Feel It In The Air

I know it's Easter time again,
I feel it in the air.
The breath of spring with woodsy tang,
And new life everywhere.
And spring glides on with magic touch
O'er mountain side and glen;
And wakens all the sleeping plants
For Easter time again.

The brooklets leap from rock to rock,
As if in joyful play;
The flowers peep from darkened tombs
To welcome Easter Day.
The birds are swinging on the boughs,
And trill in ecstasy;
They seem to show the world's great joy
Of Easter mystery.

Why should we dread
the thing called death?
It's just an open door,
Where all within is love and peace
And joy forever more.
"Because I live, you too shall live,"
We hear the Savior say.
Let's consecrate our lives anew,
On this glad Easter Day.

Here is a look at a recent Easter shoot I did last week, enjoy!! :-)

Mikey + Jarica = ENGAGED!

Today I got to capture pictures of my two friends that recently got engaged! It's an exciting time in their lives, and I'm so happy to be apart of it! I grew up with Jarica and glad to see true happiness when she is with Mikey. Plus, so very happy she found her soul mate! I hope you two live a long happy life together! CONGRATS!!
