Keegan Proposed

Photobucket
Keegan invited me to come along on a surprise photo shoot. Lindsay had been wanting pictures for some time.
This was a compete surprise for her. And it was great fun for me!
Here is what happened :).
Photobucket
We met at Lake Alice.
Photobucket
As we walked down a sidewalk alongside the wedding chapel, Keegan dropped to one knee and took Lindsay's hand.
Photobucket
I totally almost missed it. I should have realized Keegan wouldn't be able to wait very long before he asked Linday to marry him.
Photobucket
Photobucket
Well, of course she said yes!
Photobucket
I loved sharing this moment with the two of them! Incredible!
Photobucket
I'd say Lindsay was excited and happy!
Photobucket
And Keegan was like, "Yes!"
Thanks for inviting me to share in your proposal. What an awesome way to spend my morning!

Hydrangeas at Regent

Photobucket
These were growing along the wall outside the library at Regent.
Huge! Almost the size of basketballs!
Photobucket
And simply gorgeous! My mom always loved hydrangeas.
Photobucket
And I always love a good flower picture. Crosses, solar flare, and flowers.
Those are my favorites :).

The Beauty of Regent University

Photobucket
Kali and I recently spent some time on the campus of Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Photobucket
We've been there before, but the beauty of the campus always amazes me.
It's such a fun place to take photos!
Photobucket
You are just getting a glimpse of the lovely fountain they have.
I posted about it earlier - here.
Photobucket
Couldn't resist a little solar popping through the water.
Photobucket
So beautiful!
Photobucket
I found this next to the fountain. Got a picture of one last year, too.
Photobucket
Beautiful in bloom!
Photobucket
And you know how I am about cross photos :). This is a beautiful one and I know I took pictures of it last year also.
Posting more tomorrow.

A Different Take

Photobucket
Not long ago, I had the opportunity to spend some time at Regent University in Virginia. On one of the porches I noticed these amazing columns. I shot straight down the line, once in front, and once on the back side. I didn't expect to do anything special with the photos, I just liked the way the lines looked.
Photobucket
This was the front side, facing the building.
Photobucket
This was the back side, facing the courtyard.
Photobucket
I went in to photoshop and worked with the sizing a little bit and was able to position the two photos together in a side-by-side collage. There is just one set of columns, framing the edge of the porch. I just shot it from two different perspectives. I thought it turned out pretty cool.

The 2011 Institute For Cultural Communicators Intern Team with the author and director of the 2011 The Future is Now Evening Program.

Yes, they are quite a serious, professional bunch :).
Their mission is to reach as many students across the United States as they can,
and equip them to get out the message of Jesus Christ through communications skills.
Photobucket
At the parents' commissioning weekend, we got to attend the national debut of the Evening Program.
Photobucket
One of the literary pieces they presented was Cindermaid - the original version of Cinderella.

The last piece they presented was called Hope and Despair.

God has much in store for this group this year. Praying for the team as they are touring across the country, teaching classes and presenting this program. For more information on a conference in your area, you can contact me or you can see the ICC website here.

It Was Our Honor

Photobucket
Kali and I recently traveled to Denver, Colorado, where we had the great honor to photograph the wedding of these two people that we love so much!
Photobucket
The bride was absolutely gorgeous! She always is, but so spectacular this day.
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
We started with pictures in the park. This is her sister, who was also the maid of honor.
Photobucket
More sisters :).
Photobucket
Her wonderful friends who stood with her as she got married . . .
Photobucket
. . . and prayed with her for a wonderful marriage with her best friend.
Photobucket
I love this picture. Looks like the groom is on a mission. On facebook, one of his friends said he was "on a mission to get married."
Photobucket
I had such a good time taking pictures of the groom with his groomsmen. It helped that I knew every single of them.
Such fun. And such a privilege to be included in this day.
Photobucket
Getting a few words of advice from his best man - haha! Actually, knowing these two, they were probably plotting something :).
Photobucket
It was a beautiful, fun wedding. (Can't believe they are all grown up and getting married already!)
Photobucket
This was by far, the absolute favorite shot when I posted on facebook! Love it!
Photobucket
Something nice to see in today's society - parents that are still married, and that actually love each other.
What a legacy they are passing down to their children.
Photobucket
A long day, a beautiful ceremony, and a new start in a new life together.
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Then, on to the reception where they started with the father-daughter dance.
(There are a load of dancing shots posted on facebook.)
Photobucket
Which eventually broke into full-scale dancing. So.much.fun!
Photobucket
And when the day was done, these two got to go home together - best friends, now finally husband and wife.
And Kali and I were so honored to be able to share in your special day.
We love you both so much and pray God's blessings over your lives together.
