Veteran's Day Photos: Thank You for your Service, Shan & Michael

This year, I decided to spend my Veteran's Day celebrating soldiers and their loved ones. And I'm SO glad I did! I got so see some amazing people, hear some great stories, witness some seriously cute snuggles, and it felt really good to spend my Veteran's Day, photographing soldiers, at home, with the people they care about.

New Year's Eve Wedding at The Vue: Savannah & Ryan

Yaaaaay! I get to share Ryan and Savannah's wedding with you! These two have felt like old friends since our first meeting to talk about their wedding (which is a BIG deal, because those usually feel more like a job interview than a coffee date to me).
I LOVE New Years Eve weddings! All of the gold, silver, black, and sparkles - it just makes me happy. I've been looking forward to their wedding and party for months. It was beautiful, it was fun, the officiant was HILARIOUS - SUCH a great night.

Savannah made all of the awesome signs and decorations. They're FABULOUS! ...And I should be given extra credit for not trying to take her blingtastic wedding shoes home with me, because they are also fabulous.I was also a big fan of the awesome bridesmaid hangers. Shocker, I know.
Have I mentioned how much I love ALL of the details from this wedding!? Her dress! Those shoes!
I also need to mention that these lovely bridesmaids were (are) SUPER nice! What can I say? I'm always super-stoked when gorgeous girls are also super sweet. Win-win!
That tall, blond dude on the right - I never did figure out if his name was Todd or Tom. Somehow, in the confusion, my new nickname for the night became Todd. :) Lucky me. I actually started answering to it by the end of the night. Thanks Todd...or Tom.

Awesome vendors who contributed to this fabulosness:
Epic Day Spa handled hair and makeup beautifully!
The Vue is the venue that this awesome wedding was held at.
Willaby's Catering (their staff is the bees knees - seriously.) I'm always excited to go to a wedding when I know they're catering.
Kate, of Forks & Corks, coordinated and did an amazing job of keeping us all organized!
Green Gable Gardens made the lovely bouquets.
Voodoo Donuts for dessert - YUM!
