Pops
I'm really not very consistent with my birthday shout-outs or holiday messages on here. For instance, my mom did not get a Mother's Day post, but pops is getting this Father's Day post. And let's face it, he just lucked out because it's day four of my blog-every-day week.
He also gets bonus points because he subscribes to my blog and reads it regularly. He never leaves comments (hint hint), but he does call with his comments so I guess that's just as good.
Anyway, if you are my friend on Facebook you'll know of my recent struggle to find a good Father's Day card. I thought perhaps instead one of my famous poems was in order. Ahem:

Happy Father's Day, Dad, I think you are great,
Here are a few things about you that I celebrate.
I know no one better with a hammer, saw, and wood,
You trained me from infancy to be a Mac geek for good.
You make great french toast and you drink Coke a lot,
And each time you park you back into the spot.
Your new Burberry glasses are pretty sweet,
Since you opened a Rita's we get free ice to eat.
I'm tired of rhyming so that's all I will say,
So even though you're at work I hope you "Have an Ice Day!"

The BFF gets hitched
So, to make up for the fact that I didn't blog for ONE WHOLE WEEK, how's this: I am going to blog EVERY DAY for the next week. For real- with pictures, and not just of my dog. I've already got it planned out. So check back every day!
And for tonight, posting just in the nick of time, here are a few images I got at Kati and Stephen's GORGEOUS wedding at Four Sons Farm in Sandersville, Georgia.
I didn't shoot a lot- I was pretty busy removing crickets from wedding dresses, relocating the hair stylist's screaming child, doing the mother of the bride's makeup, etc. (you know, typical matron of honor stuff)- but I just couldn't leave my camera behind. It was a photographer's dream location.
Really most of what I got was just pre-wedding Kati and not a whole lot with the bride AND groom (sorry Stebo!) They were kind of popular and hard to pin down. So here we go, starting with the bride getting ready.
I think this is my favorite shot from the whole day. Just beautiful.
I thought the window light gave this one such a dramatic look in black and white
We had lots of fun watching the guests arrive from upstairs!
One quick self-portrait before we headed downstairs to get Kati married.
...and then on to the reception. Hey look, the groom DOES exist!
KatiRu changed into a white sundress and cowboy boots for the reception. (So typical.) I love her expression in this one dancing with Stephen.
As you might notice by the time the reception rolled around I had reverted to snapshot mode. So here's something new, a quick collage of friends at the reception:
Brantley and Richard Freeman of All Dressed Up Photography in Columbia were the real wedding photographers and did a fantastic job. Check out a sneak peak and full posting on their blog.
Love you Kati and Stephen! Hope week number three of married life is the best one yet.

Not bad
So I think it's safe to say that if you got married on Saturday, spent your weekend at the Ritz-Carlton and then have your birthday on Thursday you're having a pretty good week. (I think it's also safe to say that if your best friend is storing a pile of your wedding gifts in her dining room she might re-wrap one in birthday paper and give it to you. Shhh, no one will know.)
Happy birthday to KatiRu, my best friend, the new Mrs. Everett, and the most beautiful bride ever! Hope you have a great day!
And since I haven't had a chance to share yet here is quick shot of Kati from her wedding day. I didn't shoot a ton since I was in the wedding, but I'll have more to share as soon as I get caught up and go through them.
Her last name is no longer Rudziensky, but I am pretty sure that KatiRu is going to stick. KatiEv just doesn't have the same ring to it. Sorry Stephen.

Tot-Toppers model shoot
A few weeks ago I got together with Kate from Tot-Toppers to do some product shots of her adorable hats. She was getting ready for a craft show and had TONS of great hats on hand!
We headed out to Riverfront Park in downtown Columbia with our little group of models under the threat of rain which turned out to be blazing sunshine. Despite the heat all the kids were so great and easy to work with!
Here are a few of my favorite shots. Oh, did I also mention how precious these kids were??
To see more of Kate's fabulous creations, visit her Etsy shop! And hurry- through June 15 she is offering a free pacifier leash with $20 hat purchase!

Mandy and Rick (finally!)
So my big plans to catch up on blogging during vacation didn't really pan out. Ooops. But watch out, cause this week I'm back in the real world and have lots to share with you.
I do very few weddings throughout the year, so each one is pretty special. I shot this one a few weeks ago and it was particularly cool because it was so small- just Rick, Mandy, their children and a friend who officiated. I was honored to be asked to photograph such a close family event.
After a sweet and intimate ceremony on a gazebo in Persimmon Grove in Lexington, SC, I got to spend time capturing their first family photos.
Mandy and Rick, I know you have been WAITING FOREVER to see these and I have plenty more coming your way! I loved meeting your family- congrats again!

Sparky is 25!
Today is Sara's birthday! I'm down in Sandersville, Georgia for Kati's wedding today (YAY!!!) but I had to take a minute to send a happy 25th to one of my closest friends.
Ok and yes I realize that it is June and this is a picture of Sara in a hat and scarf, but I am out of town and most of my images are on the hard drive at home- I had to choose from what I could find on my laptop!
Anyway, head over to her blog and leave her a birthday message!!
