First supper on the new terrace - beautiful!
Totally fun eating our first meal together on the new chapel terrace. Such a lovely evening, and this space is really going to get a workout in upcoming weddings for our special couples. It looks to me like a great place for a guestbook table, cocktail hour, or just plain sitting down and visiting. We are thankful to have it. Chapel is getting all cleaned up this morning, and let the setup beging for the big event this week! We adore this couple, and they've put a lot of
Wedding beauty in bloom and on display..
Another beautiful shot of Stephanie's amazing florals, and our most photogenic model, Christa. We've been blessed with such beautiful weather all winter, and the day of this shoot was no exception. How wonderful that it all turned out as beautifully as it did. Chapel activity meeter set at: Low for today. Tomorrow, things change, however, as after the chapel is cleaned, we start setup for our next wonderful wedding for two very special people. We're looking forward to it
Are these two just plain pretty, or what!?!?
These two really light up the lens when they're being photographed...CL is absolutely right. It's a delight to share their beautiful smiles on the blog, with such a great memory of a very fun photo shoot! Got to see the delightful Jodi the other afternoon, which was fun, and our 'professional groomsman/wedding guest', is coming out to work with his handgun very soon. I'm excited, since I get to work the polls for the very first time for part of tuesday's election. Totall
Came across these smiling faces from fall
These ladies look like their having a good time and I think they are. It's always so fun to have multiples of our very special brides at the chapel at the same time! Noelle, Kelly, Brooke & Delanie all were married here, so they'll forever be Caliber Oak brides...come what may! Had a wonderful dinner last night with Talie at the chapel and all of the food turned out pretty darned good! It was wonderful getting to visit, and a nice way to break up the week. Yesterday, we e
A picture-perfect winter wedding table...
We so enjoyed having Stephanie here for her excellent photo shoot and this is my amateur picture of one of the tablescapes. Loving the french linen on the chairs, bit of old-world golden metallic glam, and the element of antique silver and mercury glass. Yep, I could eat supper at this table! Where did spring go? Mighty cool out there this morning, but always could be worse. Progress being made on chapel projects today, and we even get a special visitor who's bringing us
The perfect gift for the chapel entry buffet!
Where does she find this stuff!?! This is the new lamp on the entry buffet in the chapel. It was the perfect Christmas gift from Cindy and Dick Cashion this year, and we've never seen anything quite like it. We finally got the shade just right for the space and the very first event the lamp was here for was the Disney Songbook! Is that perfect, or what... Kind of a Mrs. Potts meets wedding chapel kind of thing... "we've got a lot to do, is that one lump or two...be our g
When you wish upon a star...you raise CASH!
The chapel literally dripped with talent last night...what a great evening, and we're still high off the sounds of the Disney Songbook that seemed to make the event just glow...and everyone wandered off feeling a little lighter and certainly more likely to whistle while they worked today! David Perez has got to be in the top 3 most talented pianists we've had at our piano, and we'd love to feature him as a soloist at a charity event if he ever fell for that gig! Our vocalis
I think it's a great look for them for sure!
Another great WHD photo from the photobooth. These two are close to our hearts and Whitney is going to be working lots of weddings this season. We had such a fun time the morning of the "3 Kings 3 Miler" race at St. Joseph's together with them at the very beginning of the year, and look forward to many more wonderful times with these two... Not too much going on at the chapel today....but that's ok! The weather continues to be delightful and it's headed to be a bit cooler
Such a beautiful, ethereal bridal image...
Our on-site bridal shoot last week with Stephanie & Company was absolutely amazing. The models, the flowers, the props, positions, photography....everything. We were thrilled to be the location for this glossy shoot, and feel that it turned out so beautifully. In addition, everyone working on making the photos magical and distinct were so very delightful - personally. Our young and beautiful bride model in this photo, Christa, was not only a near-goddess in every photogr
Surely, a party where we would want to be!
The figurine toppers from the WHD dinner have a life of their own, and I love this angle from Jennifer's camera. The scene looks like a festival of marital happiness, and each couple is telling their own story. The young, attractive couple on our left is clearly excited about their new life together, and I'm thinking it looks like he may have just gotten out of the military...windy day for her, as that veil is really flying! You GO girl! ....Our center couple just looks c
