10th Anniversary Photography

Today is our 10th anniversary!  It's crazy, I know.  We got dressed up and had pictures taken.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Words Are Not Enough

Denese H. Boyett 

No words could ever tell you,

No action could express

The way I feel about you,

With you, my life is blessed.

You're the light in my tunnel.

You are my pot of gold.

You are the strength that gets me through

When despair has taken hold.

You're my once in a lifetime.

You make my life complete.

You are my blue ribbon

In the shadow of defeat.

There's nothing I could ever say,

And nothing I could do

To let you know just how much

Love is in my heart for you.

Pre-Wedding Party

The night before Ben's wedding they had a party type reception.  It was outside at the church building.  It was super hot that day, but cooled off nicely for the reception.  Instead of cake they had and ice cream Sunday bar.  It was very cute and delicious!

Everywhere you go in Ogden seemed to have a great mountain background.  I'm not used to it but loved looking at the mountains whenever I turned around.

My niece Amery came so we took a picture together.

Tucker was making silly faces.

They had these huge balloons that were a hit with the kids.  Not only did they look cool, but after it was over the kids got to take them home and play with them.  These huge balloons really lifted, and I could feel them pulling my arm up when I was holding them.

There was a little dance area, but we didn't do a lot of dancing, which is sad because I love dancing.

Ben and Jacee had a lot of pictures up and I felt like I needed to take some more selfies of my own.

Here Bob and I are doing our best Leon smiles.

We had plenty of time to hand around and chat with everyone.  The kids even played on swings, it was semi casual and a lot of fun!

Alaska #5

The timing for the trip was perfect because we got to go to my cousin's wedding.  They got married on a beautiful lake.  It really was gorgeous.

At the wedding they had reindeer hot dogs.  It was my first time trying reindeer meet and I liked it.  It wasn't my favorite but I'd eat one again.

It was a pretty small ceremony and afterwards we had s'mores.  I made a fancy white chocolate s'more with strawberries.  It was so good, I'm going to have to make them at home sometime.

Here I am with my cousin.  We are the same age but barely ever get to see each other.  I'll always remember when we were little and went to visit our grandparents for a week together.

The next day we drove around Kristen's neighborhood and saw a mamma moose with her two babies.  They looked very young.  This was our first moose sighting and I was nervous to get close.  Especially because of the babies.

Austin and Momo Wedding Photography

I loved shooting Austin and Momo's wedding!  The Seattle Temple has got to be one of my favorite places to take pictures (too bad it isn't closer) and they were so adorable and funny the entire time.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Vegas Wedding Photography

The whole point of my trip to Vegas was my sister's wedding and after the ceremony we took a few pictures around the little chapel.  And after that we headed over to the Bellagio to take wedding pictures in their gardens and in front of their famous fountains.  It was fun to be a photographer in Vegas.  Everywhere we went people were always congratulating the bride and groom.  One stranger even wanted to pose with them for a picture.  Here are a few of my favorite pictures.  Congratulations Talitha and David!
