funky bullet weddings: fay & david

07.03.2008

Category: weddings

Let me start this post off by saying I am so happy to have been a part of this wedding. Fay & I have become friends since their engagement session, communicating regularly ever since - I was so excited for this day!

I have to post a few my absolute favorites. This will be lengthy - I need to put the Event’s section up on my website, but until then, be prepared for lengthy posts, with a few descriptions of these weddings through my mind as the photographer. No detail was overlooked at this wedding - the bride did a fantastic job of planning. Stay tuned as said details will be making an appearance on my website with the new area on my site. Until then, I’ll just post a few ;-)

Being a mom myself, I can only imagine what an emotional experience it will be to see my daughters in their wedding dresses.

I definitely will not get into the habit of posting tons of formals here but I had to show these dresses off.

Fay had a Tea Ceremony, and not one but a grand total of three dresses for the day!

She really is a vision.

David’s quite a looker himself.

The tea ceremony is a tradition where the couple serves their elders with tea in exchange for gifts.

After the Tea Ceremony, it was time to party.

The venue, Twenty 21 (for some reason their website is down) was awesome, romantic ambiance, great food.

The centerpieces included…goldfish!

Dress number 3!

It was really difficult to pull these two away from the dance floor, but I managed to snag 7 minutes.

Then it was back to the dance floor!

Kelly - see you in Santorini ;-)!

Beautiful Anastasia was standing in the outskirts of the circle, jamming to herself!

That top right shot was right before she hops in the middle and takes center stage!

steiger_053.jpg

 

By far the best cake smashing I had ever seen.

steiger_054.jpg

Yeah, he got her back. Big time.

Followed by more dancing…

OK, now that I’ve posted a TON of photos, I’ll end it off by saying Fay & David, I wish you nothing but the BEST. Thank you for having me photograph your special day! I had a such a blast!!!

funky bullet my myspace page blew up.

Category: bloggy stuff and general

About a month or so ago, the page blew up and I lost about 200 friends which included friends, family and networks!

It happened about a month or so ago. Now, I am needing to build it back up!

Ugh!!!  Can’t believe it.  Anyway - please add me!   http://www.myspace.com/laurabruenphoto/

The return of the Cell Phone Shot of the Day starts with an interesting little ditty about how I’ve been on Nutrisystem for almost a year and a half. That’s a year and a half of eating their food. I’ve been rather successful on Nutrisystem - it helped me melt away about 40 lbs of post-pregnancy weight - I highly recommend it. However - I’m still within 12 lbs of my goal weight (which is the same I was when I was 23). Hey, I think that’s obtainable! If Kelly Rippa can look that good, so can I!

 

Ha.

 

I’m no longer using my LG for the Cell Phone Shot of the Day, I am now using the BlackBerry Pearl - in Pink of course. And the first shot for Shoot-Scoop is a shot of my latest investment.

 

Eat, Drink & Be Gorgeous!

I’ve been thinking that I should find a nutritionist in the area that will teach me how to prepare my OWN meals (out of REAL FOOD) for my body type, but this book called my name, so here we are. I’ll be sure to write a proper review once I find the time to read it. I figured the 20 bucks on the book was worth a shot, better than the cost for a nutritionist and certainly much better than the monthly cost for Nutrisystem. Wish me luck!
