And here we are:

This one probably won’t make the big wall portrait, but I thought it was a cute picture of him playing around:

This one makes me laugh – you can just tell he’s thinking “Come on; no pictures now – I just want to throw rocks!”

The big reward for taking pictures was getting to visit the pumpkin patch and house at the end:

And this last one was Mickey’s suggestion; he wanted me to take a picture of this thing, and I thought it turned out pretty well! Good eye, Mickey!

Here’s Heather, looking super helpful as always!

I’ve discovered that Charlotte and I have similar opinions on a lot of things – make-up, texting, when we like to pay for stuff. I really enjoyed spending the day with her and the girls. I got to meet up with them at Heath Hair & Day Spa and take pictures of everyone getting their hair and make-up done. It was an awesome place and an awesome group of girls to hang out with.

The salon had chocolate-covered strawberries and mimosas for everybody:

The flower girl fell asleep watching Steel Magnolias:

There was some beautiful light coming in to the salon. I didn’t even have to get my flash out once.

You could tell the flowergirl was excited to get her hair and make-up done and drink orange juice out of a fancy glass with all the girls:

Charlotte going over her speech:

A toast in the limo on the way to the wedding site:

The maid of honor looks out to see what’s going on:

Charlotte really wanted to do the jumping shot – so we braved the intense heat and mean ants to get it:

Charlotte’s much more interested in silly faces and fun pictures than anything serious:

Kenny gives the cool groom’s cake a thumbs-up:

The guys braved the heat too (I can’t even describe how hot it was):

Charlotte made her entrance on a horse-drawn carriage, surprising everyone:

This was in response to the part of Charlotte’s vows that said “all that I have is yours:”

They got to ride in the carriage:

See – perfect for each other:

They had a fun first dance:

I couldn’t pick just one ring shot for the blog, so you get to see two:

The kids really liked playing under the table:

And flying through the air (this one just makes me laugh):

A few shots from the party (no pun intended):

Charlotte and Kenny, we’ve had so much fun with you guys! Congratulations!!

Here are a few of my pictures from the week:

The rest of these pictures were all set up as examples, so I can’t claim the posing as my own, but it should give you an idea of some of the things we learned:
