Left Overs: Erin's Bridal Bouquet

Sometimes in the flurry of the wedding day things get left behind.  For my first wedding of the season, Erin and Matt, by the time I got to the venue to clean up that night, the bride had already departed.  I decided to grab her bouquet, just in case she wanted it later, and then snapped a few pics the next day.  She was such a laid back, and fun bride to work with, and I loved the fact that she wanted daisy's in her bouquet.  I can't wait to see, and share the pictures from Lemon Lime Photography.

I'm having a love affair with Sweet Pea right now.  It's kind of my favorite.

My So Called Life: St. Patrick's Day

My family are avid fans of St.Patrick's day.  Partially because, well, we're Irish, and then also partially because we like any excuse to get together and have fun.  Our festivities included: attending the parade, lunching at Governor Stumpy's a local Irish pub, and then the annual party at my Aunt K.K. and Uncle Dennis' house.  Lots of Guinness, a delicious Reuben, and tons of pictures.  Here's a few of my favorites:


From the Parade:

My mom and Matt toasting.  It was pretty hilarious apparently.

Aunt Kathleen and her pup Harry.  He was pretty camera shy, so this is the only clear snap I got of him.  Such a cutie.


Hope you all had a wonderful St. Patty's day!

Saturday Matinee: Two Door Cinema Club

One of my favorite parts about waking up early in the morning (other than grabbing coffee with Matt) is watching AMTV while I work on the computer.  About a month ago I came across this little gem by Two Door Cinema Club, and it was love at first listen.  Plus how cute are the dancers, and their primary color outfits?  Makes me want to get up and dance every time.

For the Love of Flowers: A Little Poppy of Color

Spring is just around the corner.  You can feel it looming in the air.  We get little glimpses of it every couple of weeks between the gloomy, cold days.  I came across these beautiful shots of poppies taken by the amazing floral designer Natalie over at Hello Darling.  I have a few of these in my garden, they're so fragile, but quite the show stoppers.
