.... laughter cures all!!!

.... as in stated above "laughter cures all"...... really couldn't be more true. We all have good days and bad days...... it's all in how you handle what comes your way that truly counts. Sometimes we are delt more than we can handle at the time..... in which case you lean on those closest to you... and the ones who know you well..... will switch gears and throw some serious laughter your way! Thank goodness for those special few! Just wanted to touch on that.... as it seems at times the "bad' overshadows the good..... don't let it... do your best to shake it off and if you feel you can't quite do it on your own... know this- only you have the power to make YOU happy..... everyone else around you helps with your mission but it's up to you to achieve it!

So as this story goes.... and keeping with the laughter topic...... here is Melissa & Andrew- fab couple... cuz all my couples are absolutely FAB! No worries Melissa... nothing bad to say here about your wedding.... I think it's so funny when people have a touch of concern on their wedding day about what I may write! It's that split second moment where they think and then comment about what the blog may say!
I LOVE a fun wedding party..... and this wedding party was NOT short on fun at all!!! They were a blast..... as were the bride and groom! I enjoy watching and documenting people having fun- there are no greater shots!
The day started at the grooms house..... there awaited Andrew.... sorry dude I am going down this road lol- a cool calm collected groom without socks and a belt.... ok I come across a lot of grooms not quite ready but the socks and belt thats a new one for me.... sorry Andrew I thought the minor hiccup in your day to be a little bit funny! After hanging with the oh so entertaining boys...... I headed off to see Melissa....... she was in the very state I wanted to find all my brides..... mid-make-up... perfect! Hung with the girls did all the small detail shots and buckled some sweet shoes..... loved the shoes ladies! Then it was photos photos photos... and off to the ceremony! I will fully admit I almost fell in the fountain in the church... thank you to the kind friend of the bride for stopping me before I did... lol I swear only I would forget it was behind me.... accident averted!
We ended up at Adamson Estates for photos......... lol too much fun and way too many photos to share..... I will say my stomach hurt the next day from all the laughing.
After photos we then went to the reception of course..... beautiful venue...... great meal...... and to top off the night------- SAMBA dancers.... awesome!!!!
So some tears were shed during speeches as they always are..... and forever moments and memories made.... thank you Melissa & Andrew for having me a part of your day!!!! Cheers!

A First....... communion!

I always enjoy these milestones..... my daughter just had hers two weeks ago so I knew exactly what to expect... and how these precious little girls feel.  Miss. E was fabulous and absolutely beautiful....... from hair to the dress and a touch of rosy cheeks..... I had a great time capturing all the little details!
Congratulations Miss. E......
