2011 was a year of family, love and marriage...

and we were kept busy with that!  So busy we slowed down our photography business schedule to accommodate two weddings in the family and a new baby!  

I'm going to start with the first wedding of Sydney, the middle daughter in our family.  She had a whirlwind courtship,  engagement and wedding in 9 months.  We could not have picked a better husband for her.  Aaron loves her dearly and they had a beautiful wedding with a fun reception at the Western Science Center piazza in Hemet.  We hired a food truck run by ChompChomp Nation with amazing Singapore style food and for dessert...brightly frosted chocolate and vanilla cake pops made my her sister Sarah and some friends.

The photography was a collaboration with Ezra Moore (our new friend for life!) of Sidewalk and the Sea (Minnesota) and Vintage Modern Photography.  He shot the wedding and we edited the images as well as created the album you see here!

We photographed some snapshots and even though we love photography, it was a day of bonding in love, creating memories and family not hiding behind a camera.  You can see a few behind the scenes family memories here:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/vintagedesignsmith/sets/72157627434171635/

We also created a photobooth...we will show you those in a later post!
