If you are a blog reader (aka stalker) you will recognize a ton of familiar faces from this party. My photography was purchased as a gift to the “bride & groom” from some of the girls I’ve done pictures for in the past, and the bride & groom’s daughters are both past clients and the girls who own bcause i said so. So, there ya go..

The ‘groom’ was a relentless ball breaker and I got a good dose of it. Luckily, I’ve become quite accostomed to that with all the dads/husbands/grandpas/men that really, REALLY dislike me with my camera and now I no longer take it personally. But as the day wore on and everyone became more lubricated, he eased up on me. A little. They are really a very fun couple and did everything I asked (with the occassional eye roll). I did love the hands over the cake picture above, recreating their original wedding photo. The gorgeous cake (and I heard it was delish too, but I left before that part) was made by www.jojokakes.com. All the kids had a great time in the pool and on the new waterslide. And the “big kids” (aka adults) were enjoying hanging out at “the liffey” which I was told, the bar they all used to hang out with when they were teenagers, and where the bride & groom originally met. Most importantly, I think the bride & groom were very happy to be surrounded by their friends and family that love them. 

The celebration was at one of the daughters houses and was a sorta surprise. And yes, that’s really their backyard. Crazy huge! And Peter…sorry about stepping on the sod. I tried to tread lightly. (The host just finished putting in his new pool, patio, and sod. He was very protective of the sod- hence this face when he saw me walking on it yet again.)
