Busy, Busy, Busy...tryin' to get caught up on the blog ! July 4th weekend features 2 couples giving up their independence on Independence Day weekend ! (Hey, best thing they ever did !) First we have Tara and Dana on July 4th. Tara's mom, Karen, was the wedding co-ordinator / banquet manager at the local Courtyard Marriott. She now has a different position in the organization. I was more than flattered that she contacted me to photograph Tara's wedding. Tara and Dana are an easy-going, fun-loving couple and their wedding and reception reflected it. They did the entire day in the Wintergarden Room-like a big solarium to work in. Thanks for letting me share the 4th with you and your great families

Amanda's aunt booked the wedding and I never met Amanda and Jim until I did their engagement portraits last summer. They are a really sweet and sincere couple and really in LOVE ! On the wedding day Jim's mom told me he was raised with two older sisters who not only beat him up when he was young but also taught him how to treat women ! He apparently learned his lesson well. They were married at Sacred Heart Church by Fr. John Hollywood ! and their reception was at the scenic Union Station. I must be on a lucky stretch of just the greatest wedding couples anyone could ask for. This has been one great season so far !
