A Wedding, A Bridal Shower & Eagle Crest Resort

On Saturday I spent the day with Carley and Tom intimately by their side photographing their BEAUTIFUL wedding at Mt. Pisgah. John was there and helped me out because he is the best assistant in the world. Sunday John and I parted ways, me to the north and him to the East (the difference is I came back Sunday night, and John will not return until Tuesday) I went to the beautiful Miss Kris's 2nd Wedding Shower at Zena and Lindsey's house in Aurora, OR and John went to a board meeting "weekend" at Eagle Crest Resort in Redmond, Or.

The Wedding 7.25.2009- Was: beautiful, universally and globally sound, romantic, genuine, personal, unique, grounded, and overall a good time. I met Carley through an internship through Center For Family Development. We had both missed the "official" orientation day, therefore we got to spend a couple of hours getting a second-hand version together. I think we both identified we gelled well that day, and have been friends since. Carley is a beautiful person with a lot of passion who manages to be relaxed, fun, and down to earth all at the same time. I met Tom a few months ago in a night out on the town (mcminemans, the vets club & the Cheeseburgers) he is a sweet, kind, humble, and hilarious. I was honored to be such an integral part of their wedding and the symbolism of their lives becoming one.



The Bridal Shower 7.26.2009- An amazing tea in the meadow! Everyone involved in putting this together did an amazing job. It in its self could have been a small wedding. Everything was gorgeous, synchronized, delicious, and picture perfect. I have never been to an actual "tea party" and it was more than I could have even imagined. I know there was countless amounts of hours put into making that party what it was. It makes me feel so happy that Kristen has so many people in her life that love her and want to make days as special as yesterday was just for her! The weather was gorgeous, and the garden was breathtaking. She scored some pretty sweet gifts, and will apparently be BAKING all the time for Michael when they are married and living together :) I feel so special to be a part of Kristen and Mike's lives, and see all the little parts coming together nicely for their big day coming up on August 14th.


Eagle Crest Resort- John is currently probably waking up, and getting ready to go tee off for a round of golf. He is on the board of directors for a charter school that is getting ready to open in the fall. They are having a meeting in Redmond and are providing wonderful accommodations to those who are traveling. John sent me a picture of his hotel room, and it looked so lonely without me in there! I had to stay behind to work, but I hope he is having a blast. In the meantime, I am so busy here I probably won't even realize he is gone (yeah right!) I feel fortunate that after spending every night together for the last four years practically I still miss him a lot when he is gone even for just two nights.

This week's agenda:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday- Work, Work, Work....
Thursday- Hiking, Bachelorette party finishing touches/Working on John's movie.. (a little bit of work for me)
