Want to hear about how much I love Weddings? Well too bad!

Sure, this is the Dias Wedding sneak peek that so many of you have been waiting for… but we’re going to take a moment to discuss family, friends, and all the people in between, that come together in your life to lift you up when you’re down, and super happy crazy dance when you’re up. If there was a day, a few weeks ago, that you were like, “Where are those people?! I need them!!”
Well, they were all at a Wedding. I’m sorry.

When the groom found himself in the hospital the week of his Wedding, a bat signal was sent out. So many different family members, friends, and vendors came through to set up the reception hall, coordinate the ceremony, and make sure every part of the day was ‘just so’…. I’m fairly certain, however, that they would have all done the same without a medical emergency as well. They all seemed like great swoopers. This wasn’t their first rodeo! ♥
As you can imagine, there were tears… it’s a Wedding, after all. There were also smiles. So many genuine, proud, happy, loving smiles… The kind that make your face hurt, and bring even more tears to your eyes. There was laughter, there was delicious, “eat some more!” food, there was dancing… nonstop, hilariously fun dancing, there were heartfelt toasts made on the fly, there was Tone Loc…sort of…. There was even a rainbow, without the rain!
These people did that. Jeff & Jenifer planned their Wedding day with family at the forefront of it all. Family, Friends….  They came to celebrate, express their love, lift up, and super happy crazy dance. ♥

Fine… I’ll say it….
I love Weddings!!!!

I’m truly so grateful to have been able to capture this amazing day for Jeff & Jenifer.

Ahhhh, the start of my Wedding season!! ♥

I couldn’t have asked for a better start! The weather was beautiful, a little bit chilly and slightly windy, but it looked beautiful… all sunshiney, with some happy clouds… What more can a girl with a camera ask for?!

Rebecca & Ray were an easy peasy, calm and collected Bride & Groom.
They were excited to get the day started and to see everything they’d worked at planning come together so beautifully. Last minute decisions, like reversing the ceremony direction – chairs, huppah and all – to accommodate for unexpected winds, were not going to throw Rebecca off her happy course, and were made without batting an eyelash.
Ray was so diligent about not spoiling the moment and seeing his future bride too soon. When he wasn’t in the hideaway room, you’d often see him, head up, down, or eyes shielded – just in case. Even as Rebecca made her way to walk down the aisle, Ray could be seen, eyes in the sky, until his best man gave him the ‘ok’.

The day was truly a celebration of love, and judging from the abundant smiles and happy tears, their family and friends could not have been happier to be a part of it!

Ray & Rebecca, thank you so much for allowing me to capture this day for you!

Eeeeeeeeeverybody and their momma will tell you about how time flies when you have children, and to cherish the moments and phases, as they’ll be over before you know it.  Well, everybody and their mommas know what’s up! They hit the nail on the head with that one. Meanwhile, we’re ‘yeah, yeah’ing’ them with a polite smile like ‘ooooookay, time is time!’……. then BAM!!
Your tiny little bubby is ONE YEAR old!

Ok, not my bubby… mine are nearly 15 and 8 though, so I can relate to the flying of time and cherishing of moments.

I digress.

This little man seemed to have been such a tiny little bub just a short, short time ago….

Remember?!?!
Well he’s been busy growing, and while he’s just as adorable, he’s quite not as sleepy! ;)

This little dude has been looooooong overdue for his Blog debut!
I think my blogging skills went into hibernation this winter!

Anyway, this little guy was determined, no matter how many feedings, blankets, despite any tricks we had up our sleeves, or how long we were prepared to wait….to stay awake.
{Insert Nemo’s Dad, Marlin, yelling to Dori, “Stay awake, stay awake! Stay a-waaaaaaake!”}
There was company, they were looking at him… he knew it, and he was making sure he didn’t miss out on a thing!

We were lucky to capture him dozing a few times, but really, I was happy either way, as he had the most adorable expressions, and was just a handsome little bub!

You’ll agree.
