202.365.2013 Wedding Fair Craziness!

Posted on July 21, 2013 by dtsphoto365

Today was crazy…. Crazy busy, crazy fun and crazy exciting! Dave participated in his first wedding fair with DM Photographs.

I’ll admit, listening to his plans for the last several weeks stressed me out because one idea was bigger than the next. I was more stressed when I arrived and saw the space. BUT, it was pretty awesome! It all came together and I’m pretty sure we had the best booth…

Photo booth, contests, snacks, water, couches, albums, videos, music, make up artist… I mean…

I even took some time for fun in the booth!

The pooch was super tuckered from his big day out too.

Then we had a great dinner at Cafe Lurcat with Matthew and Beth. Their Sunday date night dinner is great! The dessert… Salted caramel Ice cream with lemon shortbread cookies and cinnamon mini donuts!

First day of “vacation” for Portland… We actually got up early and caught a tour to see Multnomah Falls and the Columbia Gorge area. It was beautiful! The tour guide did a nice job giving us history of the area and showing us just where to see the sights.

When we got back, we shopped a bit and had lunch at Nordstrom’s Cafe. Then a friend texted and invited us over for a beer.

Once we arrived, we ended up having a great time with some yummy wine, a great cheese platter and then some dinner. The kids were so much fun… The dog was snuggly and the night was perfect! Thanks Frerichs’!

Our pooch was also having a blast with his friends…

Tomorrow… Wine tasting!

After a relaxing morning of coffee and internets, Diohgé and I made our way down to Farmington. It was Claire’s 2nd birthday and Greta got baptized tonight.

Diohgé and Bailey have a staring contest.

I was really excited for my 24-70 lens to NOT WORK. No matter what I tried, it didn’t. But my 50mm wasn’t so shabby.

And me with little Greta.

4th of July!! A day to celebrate America’s birthday with friends, family and SHOOTING!!

I had so much fun shooting today… A couple of us went to a range in Prior Lake and shot through 2 courses of clay pigeons. Super fun for my first time! I ended at 40%, which I didn’t think was so bad.
