Kathleen & Russell ~ Revisiting for the First Time.

October 2, 2010. That's the day Kathleen and Russell became "The Manalastas"! October 21, 2010. That's the day I became "Dad". August 19, 2011. That's the day I share with you what a special day they had! Life got more than crazy when Fabienne was born causing this post to slip under the feeding tubes and trips to the cardiologist. I recently saw Kathleen and Russell and thought "HEY! I never posted their wedding!"
It was mostly an overcast day, as most fall days seem to be. Kathleen, Russell, and Crew added plenty of life to an otherwise gloomy day. Tons. Of. Fun. I love seeing how much these guys love life and the way they can spark laughter with a look. They smile a lot, and it's contagious. Throughout the day they were sneaking to practice their "secret" dance which was a treat! After the reception I wanted to hire their DJ to play the music of my life. Follow me around daily and play only the best 80's, 90's, and 00's to my daily activities. It was a privilege to part of this day. Thanks Kat and Russ!

"Hey guys, so sorry to bother you again, but could I grab you for just a second? There's one last shot we have to try..."

Briana & Pat ~ Early (ENGAGED)

Oh Briana (& Pat)! After 2 attempts at pulling off an engagement shoot due to business and work schedules, it finally came down to saying..."Want to try a sunrise shoot?" Of course, I didn't think about what I was saying and that I would actually have to wake at this ridiculous time. After agreeing, they met at my house at 5:15AM. AM if you didn't catch that. 5:15. I'm tired thinking about it. It took only minutes before Briana & Pat, and were climbing hills, trudging through ditches, and turning their outfits into a Hot Mess! Great sunrise and Great couple! You guys were a blast and I can't wait for your Big Day!
