Here's the latest album I have been wearing out, if you don't know Thom Yorke by name, you might know him better as the lead singer from Radiohead. He has branched out a little, not solo although this was a solo album. He said he's been working on this material since 2000 (Kid A) but it's a great mix of little electronic beats and the soothing voice of Yorke. My favorite song right now is "Black Swan", although "Atoms for Peace" is kinda cool, especially since it's a Dwight D. speech title and he was born in Denison like me.... If anyone can find a clean version of Black Swan (mp3), you'll get a special prize from me! I tried buying a clean version on iTunes, Amazon, WalMart, etc. and can't find it! Watch the video, also "The Eraser" video with the paint by light technique is used is cool. The linocut cover is sweet too!

A few weeks back
My wife gave me a kitchen pass on one of my free weekends to go hang out with the guys and do some fishing! We all grew up together and went to high school together, so it's a lot of fun to still hang out with them and relax. Although, they almost all still smoke and about choked Jason and I out of the cabin! Worth the stink and the cough for some fun time I guess. Oh, and I fell in the river once... ok twice but it was the same fall kinda.
Here's the cabin in Beavers Bend
Just a stump outside the cabin
A little slow shutter on the moving river
The cool reflection of the trees across the river
The valley from above the dam
Miguelito showing off his beverage of choice
Austin was sick all weekend
Chef Bart (cookie) on the grill
Just in case you don't catch fish... you gotta bring the turf
Although we caught plenty of surf too
My old roommate Jason, I told them we needed some river shots and they turned into Cabelas models... what can I say?
Justin sporting the page 9 wader pose
Justin and myself (pic from Jason) holding some rainbows
This one cracked me up, they wanted a serious and Justin held it about half a second
Take two on the serious pose
Here's the whole gang in front of the dam

Now playing: Thom Yorke - Black Swan

Bride & Bloom
Have you seen this magazine yet? If not, go grab a copy, it's great!
Ok, so I twittered this a while back but didn't want to share to much until I got the confirmation on it. I did however get confirmation from Carrie from Carrie Sellman Cake Designs that her cake and my pictures were approved by Bride & Bloom magazine for a little fashion spread deal they do at the front of the magazine. So be on the lookout this April for the magazine and see if you can find the cake? Should I share the picture of it now or make you wait????? Tell you what, if I get enough comments, I'll share the pic now!

Amy & Sean's Wedding at Tanglewood
Catching up on blog posts
Sean just hanging out and realizing before the wedding
My Boston buddy applying the makeup with the window light
Amy getting ready for the big day
Mom getting ready in the bridal suite
So, onto some details: The dress
The shoes... I couldn't decide which I liked more so leave a comment with your vote:
Amy's family has a florist shop up in Boston, so they did all the flowers which were beautiful
Some more details, the rings
You've met him before (on the blog) and I said then if you hire a bagpiper, you have to get Don Shannon! Again, which do you like best:
After the ceremony, their first walk as husband and wife
Sean and the guys
Then some nice intimate portraits
and another next to the piano
and in the tower
this truck was actually indoors, so I darkened up the edges a bit
The cake
and of course, some more beautiful flowers from the family flower shop

Where u been?
I have had a lot of people asking what's up with the posts lately, so I thought I would do a quickie. I know, I know, I am a few weddings behind on blogging and add another one to that tomorrow... but not only is this turning out to be the busiest year yet. I am also reworking packages & prices again, new products, a new gallery and shopping cart software and not to mention trying to get some newer pictures up on the website. So today as I was working on some albums and uploading pictures, I found a new reality wedding show that I hadn't seen yet.
People always laugh at my contract when they see that I have a reality show clause, but I would almost waive that to do "my big redneck wedding"! I did say almost! If you haven't seen it, I'll give you some highlights and then you have to go watch it! This episode in a nutshell:
Pee Proposal
Bride size 28, orders dress off internet shipped in a FedEx box, no packing but was a size 8
Beer Can Archway
Venue - Flea Market
Bouquets - no ribbon wrappings, budweiser cans for wrapping
Bassett Hounds as ring bearer and flower girl
Released chickens, not doves
Newspapers, mason jars and weed flowers for table settings
Did I mention the bride couldn't find her teeth the wedding day, but mom offered hers
I'll just steal this part from the website:
Guests ate a wonderful meal of fried chicken, pulled pork and BBQ beef, and a cake of 4 layers and of 4 different flavored layers!!!!!! We then went outside and tried the mechanical bull and the rode away in our Chevy Trailblazer, pulling our beer cans. Oops! or was that the archway!!!!!!! Then we exchanged gifts. John gave me a stuffed animal he won. I gave John a bowling ball that said, "Think of me when you touch your ball." Then we went off to a honeymoon, and are the happiest redneck couple ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about the vows?
“I wish I could put your love in a locket because your hotter than a hot pocket.
We did it in the backseat, we did it in the zoo, I don’t care where we do it as long as it’s witchu”
Here's the link if you have the time to watch. Link

Kyle & Lindsey's Wedding at First United Methodist
I know I have been on a blogging hiatus as of late, but trying to play catch up as much as possible...
