Just as Wedding season starts to slow down, here we are, thrown into Senior Picture season! One of these days life will slow down, but not this week or next! This week I shot Ryan’s and Jasmine’s Senior Portraits.

Ryan was my first guy session since I started this business of working for myself. He was such a great sport and let me and Kevin drag him all around downtown Wenatchee. I don’t know about him, but I had a great time running around smelly alleys to get the perfect shot. I feel sorry for whoever’s going up against Eastmont’s football team this year! You’re going to want to watch out for this one, Wenatchee!

Jasmine was my latest session. She was cute pretending like she wasn’t a natural in front of the camera, but you can see otherwise! She laughed at my Oohs and Awws, but I couldn’t help it! We were able to catch the last rays of sun before it went behind the hills. It made for some really stunning pictures!

I took Valeria’s pictures a few days ago. She was really great! I’m always worried about not capturing someone’s natural smile, but you couldn’t stop her from smiling! She and her gal pal are planning on going into the air force after high school. They’ll be quite a distraction to our airmen! Guaranteed they will be the  two hottest chicks flying planes! :)

Hurry Seniors! Only a few days left before Senior Pictures are due! Email me today to schedule your session. ml@margielou.com

Chelsi and I played college ball together for two years. In that time we both made some long lasting friendships full of fun, laughter and a few tears. We played together, laughed together, danced together and at times, thought we’d all die together during those intense practices!

Four years later we all looked a lot different in our makeup and dresses, holding bouquets rather than basketballs, but not much has changed. These are the friends you can pick up where you left off. We gathered together to witness, sing, dance and celebrate our friend tie the knot with the love of her life.

As for my girl Chelsi, I don’t have to tell you she made a gorgeous bride! See for yourself! I was so honored to be a part of her and Mikki’s day.

The ceremony on the dock, under the waterfall, with all their friends and family gathered around was all too sublime. The sun shining through the mist of the waterfall was truly otherworldly as they tearfully swore to love and cherish each other for eternity. I really couldn’t be happier for them both and I wish them both the best! God bless you two and your new life together!

love marge.

I love weddings. They are a BLAST to photograph, and Korrin and Eric’s wedding was no exception. Korrin made such a gorgeous bride and poor Eric almost wore his smile out smiling too hard.

Their cabin made a breathtaking backdrop with the Icicle and mountains in the background. Really, it couldn’t have been any more perfect. Leavenworth is pretty all year round, but Saturday it really out did itself!

The wedding ceremony was also picturesque with a side of mountain breeze just enough to make lighting the unity candle impossible. This was definitely one of those weddings where happiness is catching and I can’t stop smiling.

I’m not sure how that song ever made it. How often have you been happy and not known it?

Well I hope you’re happy now and if you’ve got a minute I’d love to hear it! :D

Thank you! :D

What a great day for a wedding!

Today was Kasey Marie and Jeremy’s wedding vow renewal, and it was a windy, fun and glamorous affair! {emphasis on fun} The wind finally died down, the sun came out and the party was on. :)

It was definitely one of the most entertaining and fun weddings I have had the opportunity to photograph and/or attend.

The girls were freezing their goosebumps off, but you’d never be the wiser from the beautiful pictures they effortlessly pulled off.

The guys almost had too much fun with their plans to throw the groom in the lake. Fortunately they didn’t follow through. :)

We watched the sky in earnest on our way out to Cashmere Washington to shoot Julio and Josie’s wedding pictures. The bulging clouds looked like they would burst any second from the rain that was sure to come pouring down on us. We prepared for the worst and hoped for the best and the best is exactly what we got. It wasn’t perfect as any of the girls would tell you, but they braved the cold and you would never be the wiser to their inconvenience. I couldn’t be happier with the results. The excitement and happiness of the party was contagious. A very fun day and a beautiful wedding! :)

I was all too excited to get a picture of these gorgeous long awaited blooms in my garden. I’ve been watching them through my window for the last couple weeks, begging them to bloom. They turned out pretty cool in bw too.

Wedding tomorrow! :D YAY

Everybody enjoy your weekend!

Spring is all about fresh beginnings and new life.
Some friends of ours just started a new beginning with a new little life just two weeks ago.
I had the opportunity to photograph their darling little guy. It was so much fun to see the new parents cuddle their adorable sweetheart.

Ahhh, what a beautiful time of year!

One single comment from the weatherman made my week last week, “…looks like the forecast is calling for sun for the rest of the week, and into the weekend.”

And today I still see some beautiful sun!

I had two shoots later in the week, and I couldn’t have asked for prettier days! Spring is just around the corner, and I am soo ready for it! :D

Kevin and I washed and vacuumed our very dirty car and truck, and took a walk in our shorts this weekend. Ahhh, nothing feels as good as those first warm days after months of cold and wet. Almost time to put away the sweaters and jackets and replace them with tank tops and flip flops!

Caught the fever yet? Let me know what you’re doing to ring in the new season.
