Happy Holidays!

Well, the blog and myself have been on a Holiday Break. I have been very busy visiting different families, cooking, cleaning, entertaining. In fact I still have a few family members hanging around. :)
But we are all back to work! Luke, myself and Lillie Studios all have new projects for this year.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Congrats to all those who got engaged! *call me!*

I was a VERY good girl this year. Santa was very good to me.

VanDeloo Family

I had a pleasure of shooting another Susan Odell Taylor School family in Albany.

They had the most awesome furniture and design!

2008 Year Survey

I wanted to share the results of American Bridal’s 2008 wedding survey that I saw on a blog today.
I thought this was interesting. How do you measure up?

90% are doing the planning themselves, not hiring a professional wedding planner
25% are planning a wedding on a budget of less than $10,000
25% have wedding budgets over $25,001
50% fall somewhere in between, with 38% reporting in the range of $10,001 to $20,000
25% are having the wedding reception at a hotel
10% have opted to host their nuptials at a country club
6% of couples selected a destination wedding
55% reported they are finding another type of venue to rent for the wedding ceremony/reception
48% will have between 5 to 8 bridesmaids and groomsmen
37% of respondents have 9 or more
40% report they will have a wedding guest count of more than 200
14% say their total guest count is under 100
34% are inviting 100 to 150 guests
68% said they’ve lowered their wedding budgets by $1,000 or less
46% of respondents said they would not make changes to their budgets in the areas of music, location, reception style, or the wedding dress

Albany Ice Storm Engagement Session

Wow, what a ice storm we had here in the Northeast. We, fortunately, did not loose power (very lucky few)! My couple, Kate and Randy, who is getting married next October wanted to take some 'winter' pictures in the snow. Well, not a lot of snow but plenty of ice! I'm so glad we did as I got some awesome and very original pics!

Hope everyone in the area was safe!

Congrats Elizabeth and Andrew

Congrats to Elizabeth and Andrew who were married in Washington, MO on a cold/snowy November Day.

I love  a 'staged' first meeting!

Candlelit ceremony's are very pleasant as well. :)

It was a real pleasure having my two best friends, Luke and Sabrina work the room with me! It rarely happens that we are all free to work the same event together.

Best of luck in your new life together.
