Out Of Town……….

June 26, 2008

Ya know…..I thought by not having the kiddos around I’d get lots of work done….DOES NOT seem to be the case.  I seem to be gone gone gone!!!!!!  Soooo I am leaving today till Sunday…I will come home Sunday..pack Monday & leave again Tuesday to Colorado.  Don’t worry though my special clients…I’m taking the laptop & some pics to work on while I’m gone to Colorado.  Tis the season to be busier than heck….it’s sooo great!!!!! :-)
Soo I had this senior session last night…he is a graduate of Logan High 2008.  Mom still wanted him to have senior pics sooo here we are :-)  He will be headed off to Kalamazoo to go to college.  He is thinking of majoring in Psychology (hope I spelled that right..haha..maybe I need to go back to school…hahaha!!).  Well my personal opinion…maybe he should think a modeling career ;-)  I’m totally excited about these pics…he did an AWESOME job at modeling…I’m totally impressed!!!!  Most boys are shy & uncomfortable in front of the camera….he…he may of felt uncomfortable, BUT he sure didn’t show it & totally rocked the session!!!!!! 

2009 Seniors…..if you are interested in booking your senior session with Oakstream Photography do so now……don’t wait too long as dates are very limited.  Weddings take up a lot of my slots therefore I will stop taking senior sessions in April 2009….right now I am totally booked up till September…sooo if you wait…you won’t get in :-(  I have some way cool new senior stuff this year soooo you won’t want to miss out on them!!!!!

Posting a preview of another family session I did while I was in Colorado.

HAHAHAHA…think mom & dad were happy about them doing this…haha..aww..that’s ok..they’re just kids.  They never cooperate…hahahaha!  I loved their expressions here. 

Feel free to leave some comment love :-)
 

Until next time…………

Tiffany Izatt: I love this shot, it is awesome with the focus just on the kids, being kids

Courtney A: Way too cute! I love BOTH the girls' expressions! Ahhhh to be a kid again!

Be prepared for this to be a LONG post :-)  I know this couple, their family & friends have been sitting on pins & needles just waiting to see a sneak peek of this MARVELOUS wedding!!!!!! :-)  I really have my work cut out for me when I start to edit this wedding.  There are a TON of pictures…I just couldn’t stop snapping away cause everytime I turned around someone was hoopin it up..hahaha!!!!

This couple met at the Shopko parking lot…Daren asked Ashlee out…they got shakes at Charlie’s Ice Cream..then took a drive out to Newton Dam.  Daren of coarse proposed to Ashlee out at Newton Dam where they had their first date.  He had his friends shoot off fireworks from across the dam.  He got down on one knee while the fireworks were going off & asked Ashlee to marry him.  It was very magical & Ashlee LOVES fireworks.

They were married at the Logan Temple on June 5th.  The day started out stormy & rainy, but by the time the reception started the weather was BEAUTIFUL with GORGEOUS skies ahead!!!  YAY!!!  The couple had 2 receptions…both of the receptions were in gorgeous yards.  The one reception had such an awesome field right next door & the sky was incredible.  The 2nd reception was in Murray & the house, the yard, the weather…all incredible.  That house had a swimming pool in the back yard & a way cool entertainment/movie room in the house…it was soo darn cool I can’t even begin to explain it all…hahahaha!!!

The bride’s friend Roxy was her DJ & videographer.  Of coarse her wonderful friend Marci…the girl I just think is a HOOT…did her hair.  Just call her the hairspray girl..haha…you’ll see by looking at the image below :-)  Click on her name & you’ll see another post with her info of where you can find her to have her do your hair & also a few more pics from this wedding.

Flowers were done by Skyline Flowers in SLC…801-466-8118

Her cake was done by Granite Bakery

Costa Vida catered the luncheon.  Gotta LOVE Costa Vida…I could eat there everyday!!!!

What a fabulous time I had being your photographer….the laughter, the fun, the joy just was incredible!!!!  Many blessings to you & happiness always……….

 

I loved the little cards in the bags of candy……

The colors the bride chose were spectacular.  I LOVED all the bright colors everywhere.  Even some of the candy was bright colored…….

Throwing the bouquet.  What a hoot these girls are…………….

Yip…hairspray girl.  She never leaves home without it..haha!

They also had dippin dots…those were YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really loved how that sun was peeking through those trees while they were dancing their first dance.

Kids are just grand!  He’s havin him some wedding cake…haha!

This was the house with the spectacular back yard with the pool.  I loved that they had a balcony I could shoot off of.

No…he’s mine…no..she’s mine..haha!

The wedding party got a little bored cause we were waiting on someone getting the boutonnieres…they had to go clear back in town for them.  We didn’t want to have to round everyone back up again so we just hung out in the field!

The bride’s mother dancing to YMCA!  haha….I’m tellin ya….everyone here was sooo fun!!!!!

haha..Girls just wanna have fun!

Of coarse ending the night with fireworks……I thought this fit them perfectly!

Phew…see…told ya it was a LONG OL post!!!!!! 

Let me know what you think……………
