A Beautiful Wedding

I had a great time at my niece Kara's wedding. I'm so thankful I could be there. It was beautiful, it was emotional, a day filled with love. Here are some of my favorite pictures.











3 Beautiful Nieces

Retrieving the Garter!




Max did a great job as ringbearer, he took his job very seriously. He looked so handsome in his tux.




He kept walking around scratching, saying itchyitchyitchyitchyitchy! lol.






During the first dance, when the wedding party paired back up to dance, Max came up to me and said, "Look, everybody has their girl." I said, "Well, where's your girl?" His jaw dropped, his eyes lit up, as he realized hey, I do have a girl! lol. He went running over to the flower girl that he walked with, Skyler. From across the lawn I could see him ask her to dance, her saying no, him not taking no for an answer, and her finally agreeing. lol. She danced the one dance with him, and when he saw people dancing to the next song, he made her dance again. Two was her limit though, so he spent the rest of the time asking girl after girl to dance with him. lol

I had so much fun shooting this wedding for her. I was afraid I'd be too timid to really get in there, but I found that I wasn't. The desire to do the job right gave me the courage I needed. I'm pretty satisfied with how I did. Go me! :)

You did an awesome job Traci, you should be very proud of yourself!
I love the pic of Max itchy! But the story of him not having a girl to dance with then having one brought tears to my eyes only a mother could understand. I hope your niece has a wonderfully long and happy marriage!

Traci! I didn't know you had a blog. You did such an amazing job with the pictures. I'm sure they will be so happy with them. Your little Max is amazing, so debonair. I was wondering if you've heard of the program Picasa. It's a free downloadable program for photo editing. Just google it if you haven't heard of it. It help fill in shadows and it's fun to use.
Hugs,

PS I love the story about you in Tanner's room. Mommy tears were shed.
