{in love} dan + alejandra, 8.30.09

Ok, you've got me, I'm super super late on posting Dan and Ale's engagement shoot! I should be posting their amazing wedding from last month, but life has been so crazy hectic that I am so far behind. What's amazing is that both Dan and Alejandra are over 6 feet tall, yeah really. Now, I don't usually feel short, but today I did. I'm used to Rob being taller than me, but I'm fairly tall for a girl. The best part is that Dan and Alejandra were, basically, set up because they were both so tall, isn't that funny, and they totally hit it off together.

They are so easy going, just wait for the wedding post and you'll see how Alejandra rocked the high heels in her beautiful lace covered gown!

Take a look at this gorgeous couple, we just shot around Ale's parents house in Madison, and had a blast:

{personal} the ooooooh face

ooooh oooh, originally uploaded by briemarie.

I know I've been rather lax on blogging lately. This is my excuse. I still find it hard to believe that one tiny little girl can take up so much time. She's sweet and sassy, she gets her stubbornness from her father. We are so blessed to have her.

Jamie is starting to talk to us now. Of course we can't understand a thing that comes out of her mouth, but she makes noises, smiles at our silly antics and even giggles, for her grandmothers. Currently, she's crying downstairs with Rob, so I don't have much time, just enough to post this tiny snippet.

I promise there is more to come. Way more, we have been so crazy busy the last couple of weeks that we are just now starting to get back on track with everything. Enjoy this shot of our sassy little girl and know that I have a ton more to post very soon!

{personal} jamie's christening gown

When I had my baby shower, I opened one of those boxes. You know the kind, the long white ones you get when you're a kid that you detest because you know that it's clothes and you really just want toys. Right? Anyways, I open up this box and there's a note on top.

I could not believe what it said. My mom had her wedding dress cut down for a baptism gown. I still find this hard to believe even though the gown is hanging up in Jamie's closet. It's taken me a couple of months, but here it is. She wore it on Wednesday for her baptism, surprisingly it was a little big, but she looked so cute.

The gown is amazing, full of lace, off white, take a look for yourselves.

skylar {class of 2010} olbrich botanical garden, madison

Skylar is a friend of Caitlin's, you may remember her senior session out at Devil's Lake. Skylar was a blast to work with, outgoing and willing to do all the crazy things we asked. She had even brought along her yellow prom dress, I know - yellow. I find that yellow is a hard colour to wear, I look horribly sick in yellow, but Skylar totally pulled it off. She was gorgeous!

We met at her grandmother's house and then headed to Olbrich Botanical Gardens, which was amazing. It was the first time that Rob and I had been there. It's huge and each path we took led us to great backdrops and amazing colors, there was even a temple! Seriously, how cool is that? It was really hard to choose my fav's, sorry that there's a ton of images to look at!





This is one of my fav's, I just loved the tree:


And then, is she not gorgeous in the next two? The light is amazing here:







She's like a princess awaiting her prince:

outtake, originally uploaded by briemarie.

As I was going through all the photos from Dan and Alejandra's wedding, I stumbled upon this gem. To me, it looks like Rob is break dancing for the bridal party. I giggled cuz it's just so funny to me. Rob doesn't dance. It's just so funny. We had a great time at the wedding, full post to come, although I haven't even blogged their engagement session, I'm just so far behind!

{album} amanda + aaron's book o' happiness

I love our album vendor, seriously love them! They rock the albums, take a look at Amanda and Aaron's album, we shot their wedding in May and they now have this fabulous heirloom to share with their friends and family.

It's a Finao flushmount 10x10 inches of luscious goodness with a silk brocade in Dusk and leather spine in Opaline. This baby is gorgeous, just take a look for yourselves. There are so many options when it comes to making your album, that we know you can find the perfect look for you and your wedding, make it match, make it not, just as long as you love it.

I love their packaging, and it's completely recycled, pineapple leaves, mulberry leaves, yum.












Just a little look compared to a couple of our other albums.
