Looking for Something? Have Something to Give? FREECYCLE
Today I stumbled across Freecycle. What a great idea! This sums it up best,
“The nonprofit organization Freecycle practices the old adage, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” What started in 2003 as a way to reduce garbage in Tucson’s landfills has grown to a worldwide phenomenon of goods exchange. What you don’t want, you gift away. What you might need, someone else might have to give you.
The goal is not to collect more free stuff, but rather, build communities intent on consuming only what is necessary, and recycling the rest. According to a recent study, Freecycle members reduced garbage in landfills by nearly 500 tons a day in 2007, simply by sharing goods, rather than tossing them in the trash.”

Maybe Not Such a Bright Idea
Is this an April Fools joke?? Okay, so this is a little over the top but I thought I would share. This is a little beyond the whole idea of incorporating what you love into your wedding day. When you see a news line like - “Chef fashions wedding gown out of cream buffs” - you can’t help but check it out. Here is a link to the full story and the photograph that was shown with the article on www.msnbc.com.

The Ceremony
The Ceremony is the moment you have been waiting for. It is the essence of the wedding day. All the building anticipation and it all turns out perfectly. As your photographer, I work to capture all the special moments within your ceremony. Because believe me, the ceremony flies by! Most of the time, I am tucked away at the back of the ceremony location so I am not a distraction to the ceremony or your guests. I’ll be clicking away with my camera on my tripod and zoom lenses engaged. Most of the time, flash is not used during the official ceremony so it is a piece of cake for me to follow all venue restrictions on photography. The end result, you will have a great record of your wedding ceremony.

Congratulations Leah & Tyler - Watch Out for the Bird Seed!
Leah and Tyler were married March 8, 2008 at Fuquay Varina Baptist Church. This is a beautiful church and they have a great reception area as well. Leah and Tyler had a lot of cute touches including a kids table with jelly beans, suckers, and crayons to color on the paper tablecloth. They also had super yummy juices in cute containers - Lime, Strawberry, and Orange. The final touch was little packets of birdseed for their sendoff. Beware of birdseed everywhere - ouch it looks like it hurt. I think I might still have some stuck in my shoes - lol. :-) A fun and bird-safe alternative to rice.
The Kid’s Table
Yummy Juice - Neat Idea!
Attack of the Bird Seed!

Getting Ready
Here are some of my fav preparation shots from Leah’s wedding. I like starting the photography coverage from the beginning of the day to document the relationships, anticipation, details, and fun leading up to the ceremony. The preparation shots give you an important piece of the puzzle. She looks great!

Congratulations to Courtnee & Britt!!
Courtnee & Britt were married today at First United Methodist Church in Elon, NC. Their reception was at Mebane Arts Center in Mebane, NC. We had a lot of fun working together! I loved the idea of stopping at City Park to take a spin on the Carousel. We got some great shots there. Congratulations Courtnee & Britt!

Set Sail and Tied The Knot
Can you believe how quickly this day has come? Jenna and Mike decided to set sail on a cruise for their wedding. I think this is a great idea! They had about 40 family and close friends on board with them on The Inspiration. Jenna and Mike were married February 13, 2008 in Grand Cayman. What a great way to celebrate your marriage with your family! They also had a reception in Michigan to celebrate with for family and friends that could not attend the cruise. Their reception was at Maggiano’s in Troy, MI. It was a great setting with awesome food. Congratulations to Jenna and Mike!

Pieces of You
Sometimes the smallest piece of the puzzle can tell you so much. I love to see all the little details during the wedding day. Everyone has their idea of a perfect setting. These little details set the stage.

The Love of a Krispy Kreme
Amanda and Gregg incorporated a lot of little details about them in their wedding. I love seeing couples doing this! It really helps their guests learn more about who they are. Their love for fall, apple cider, and Krispy Kreme were very apparent accompanied by notes and stories for their guests - super cute! Amanda and Gregg were married at Green Level Baptist Church in Cary, NC. The reception was at Eagle Ridge Country Club in Raleigh, NC. Both locations were great! I wish them the best of luck!
