Back-up Plan Birthday Party

This poor mom has twice had plans for her daughters birthday to be outside and both years she has had to move it to McDonald's play place. I told her next year to plan for it to be at McD's and then the weather would be perfect and she could have it outside.

By having someone else to take pictures at the party group shots are so much easier to get and remember to get.

Waiting to blow out the candles.

Vegas Wedding

Vegas themed cake. I love that they went with the Vegas theme, but not over the top with it.

Derrick and Dana actually had 3 weddings, one traditional in a church, one in Vegas and not really a wedding, but the reception here in Columbia at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel.  Dana works at the Courtyard so it was the perfect place for their reception.  We had hopes of doing pictures around town, but Mother Nature had other ideas. So instead we stayed at the hotel watching the first US game in the World Cup(yes, I'm a bit behind on updating) and taking pictures there.  I'll be honest I was totally bummed about not being able to do pictures outside, I had so many fun ideas, but decided to just roll with it. 

Here's just a few pictures from their reception, I'll be back later with a few more.

Very simple flowers to go with the simple black dresses.  I love when brides go this route.

Favors for the guys! What guy would love a beer mug like this!
