Amy's Bridal Shower

This afternoon I made the trek to Milford to Aldario's Restaurant for Amy's bridal shower...I have to say that I was quite pleased with the trip (thanks to the new lane added on the 91/95 merge)!

A beautiful day with a beautiful bride!

Amy's sister made this beautiful bridal gown cake for the shower! Simply breath-taking!
Nothing better than a fun bridal party!
So of course I had to have my own fun with the bride cake!
Amy is blessed to have baking geniuses (genii?) on both sides of the family! Her future sister-in-law baked all of the cookies and cupcakes!In honor of Amy's passion for scrapbooking, each table was given paper and supplies to make a page for Amy's shower book. It was a mad competition to complete the first page to be the "sample" to show the other women how it's done!Attention brides, future brides, bridal parties, bridesmaids, and other random shower guests - I thought this was THE COOLEST shower gift! Amy's bridesmaids gave her a box of hand addressed AND STAMPED thank you cards! What a fantastic and helpful idea!OK, so we all love a good a Karate Kid crane pose...right??! Not sure what was going on here - but I had a good laugh! I especially like the reactions of the girl with the white sweater and the girl all in black!Amy's reaction to the gift from her bridesmaids..hmm, what could it be?



Congratulations Amy! Thank you for sharing your special day with me! I really enjoyed getting to know everyone before the wedding! See you soon!

Need to hire your photographer AND a wedding planner?

As some of you may know, I am a "retired" wedding planner - in another life I owned my own business as a wedding planner. I have since retired...it was bittersweet, but I'm glad I did.

I'm glad because I recently met my WFF (wedding friend forever), Kia Martinson-Wenzel of ESTOccasions. Kia is a wedding planner, living in the next town over. I met Kia (as I do just about everyone lately) through Facebook and we became Facebook friends. Kia asked me to photograph a few events she was working, and it all began with a pair of hot boots!

Usually when I meet wedding planners, a tiny little skeptic inside my heart groans a little because...well, quite frankly...no one could plan a wedding like I did (let's be honest here, right?)!! then I met Kia...I really tried not to like her...but she won. I was impressed.

So impressed that I asked her work with me to offer our future clients some super awesome values!

For everyone that books with Parsons Photography through May 31:
  • Kia will meet you and your fiance at one session and offer you a detail meeting or an in depth consultation (questions, advice, timeline, mom's questions, budget, tipping, whatever you want).
  • The cost? Nothing to you! I'll cover the fees!
How can you go wrong? :)

Email me to schedule a meeting to discuss this awesome event! info@parsonsphoto.org
Current couples - are you interested? Shoot me out an email and we'll see what we can work out! ;)

Victoria & Larry's Engagement Session

What a fantastic morning Jess & I had with Victoria & Larry! We love happy couples who love to have fun...but we especially love happy fun couples who allow us to do silly things! ;)





I love this shot of Victoria!
Then we went to the playground! I love this shot, sort of looks like I set it up, doesn't it? nope, they had all the ideas!!

Yes, my friends, this is the adult underdog!



Love this shot Jess caught of Victoria going down the slide!

Then we had some more fun!!







um Larry...those aren't real!!

By far, my favorite shot of the session!

Congratulations, Victoria & Larry! We'll be seeing you real soon!!
