Hans and Angie's Wedding

I have to interrupt my bachelorette posts to put out these wedding photos. I took pictures at Hans and Angie's wedding a few weeks ago, and I know they were hoping to see what I came up with! Here's a brief preview - I'll bring you guys a CD full of pictures next week!

I got a few "getting ready" shots of the ladies.













And a couple of the parents and grandparents.





I loved their flowers!



Her shoes are so cute... Hans is about two feet taller than her, so she wanted a little boost.





Angie looks too gorgeous.

















About to walk down the aisle...





It all happened really fast!





The ceremony was short and sweet. They were married by officiant Jeff. (Hans performed Jeff's wedding ceremony a few months ago!)





















A formal portrait...



And a couple of informal ones!





Love this pic of Rylee, their daughter. You can see the ring Hans gave her.



The wedding men...





And this guy gets my vote for most handsome. (Sorry, Hansy!)



Dancing and celebrating...













The bouquet and garter toss (I need a faster lens!)







And I managed to sneak them away and get a couple of portraits.









Their wedding site, The Rio, is known for their margaritas!



I had a really good time getting these pics at your wedding, guys. Hope you enjoy these, and if not, there are lots more for you to check out!

Bachelorette party, part 2

When we last left off, the girls had had lunch, and we were all getting ready for the fun of the evening. We decided to start off by toasting with a little champagne!







The hotel we were staying at was really nice, and there were robes in our rooms. We had two rooms and decided to pose for some pics in the robes. (They are on top of our clothes but it makes for nice luxurious photos anyway!)







Then we all got dressed up and fancy for the main event...





We met up with Lizzie, Carrie, and Mabel for Karaoke!

We went to a place that has private karaoke booths so we could sing our hearts out without embarrassing ourselves in front of strangers. (Or having to listen to strangers while we were anxious for our next song to come on.) And sing we did!















(Oh yeah, and we ate some cupcakes.)







Afterward, we hit a couple of my favorite beer bars.







Everyone was getting a little bit pooped, but they hung in there, and I had a blast! I can't look at these pictures without grinning from ear to ear!

Stay tuned for part 3!
