What a Wedding it Was!

April 8, 2014 by Elaine

When I was 16 years old my oldest brother and his wife had their first baby.  My parents and I sat in the waiting room of the hospital that July evening, watching Johnny Carson (it was his last year to host The Tonight Show) waiting and waiting for her to be born.  I was elated…

So, I can say I’ve done it…

March 5, 2014 by Elaine

I spent a lot of time in the last few weeks, leading up to last weekend, wondering how Saturday March, 1 2014 would go.  Partly for myself okay MOSTLY for myself and partly for my cousin who got married on that date. Several months ago she asked me if I would be the photographer at…

I Know Y’all Wanna See Some Wedding Pictures…

April 24, 2013 by Elaine

When B was in Kindergarten Q and U got married. And now G is there and they got married AGAIN. I knew this was a wedding I would not want to miss because I know his teacher, and she is GOOD. I was right. Q and U always get married near the end of the…

The trip was totally worth it for the cake and hugs

April 19, 2012 by Elaine

If you’ve never been to a good ole down-home Texas country wedding then you are missing out. My cousin’s daughter (my second cousin?) got married the Saturday before Easter and Katie and I rode down to the wedding with my parents and my niece.  Although K was a bit tired by the time we left,…

Gardens & Weddings

May 4, 2011 by Elaine

I think I may have had a little bit of You Capture ESP as I went around taking pictures, OUTDOORS, in my mother’s front yard/gardens while in Texas at Easter.  I just love her statues and various knick-knacks that she has placed all around. Last Saturday we had the wedding of our friends.  Remember the…

From Smocking to Swarovski

May 2, 2011 by Elaine

I try to take my parenting one day at a time.  I try not to think about the future too much.  Obviously there are things to prepare and be ready for (birthday parties, school starting, etc.) but since having a daughter I have thought about what it would be like to help plan and witness…

My First Photo Shoot (well, officially anyway…)

April 11, 2011 by Elaine

Tim sent me a text a few weeks ago stating that a friend of ours wanted me to take photographs of her in her wedding gown. I believe my text back to him said something like exactly “She’s kidding, right?” She was not. So…. On Saturday the beautiful bride-to-be put on her gorgeous gown and…

Wedding Meme, 3B1M Style!

April 7, 2009 by Elaine

It’s been a while since I turned the pages of my wedding photo albums. Life gets busy and we tend to forget to look at the pages of images that capture one of the most important days of our lives. So I just want to thank my friend Three Boys 1 Mommy for hosting this…

All Gussied Up

October 13, 2008 by Elaine

Our next-door neighbors got married yesterday. We met Nancy and her son A.J. when we moved here 4 years ago and last year Nancy met Scott. Yesterday they married in one of the sweetest ceremonies I’ve seen in a while. They exchanged vows and rings and then gave A.J. a family pendant. All three of…
