Better late than never, right? With all the computer issues in the last 2 weeks I’m just now proofing Abbie & Tim’s fabulous wedding! It was such a wonderful time and we laughed through much of it (even the ceremony – the officiant started the service with “Mawidge…mawidge is what bwings us togewer today…”, which, if you’re a fan of the Princess Bride like I am, you’ll recognize immediately). The entire day was filled with laughter, love and lots of laid back fun!

So without further ado (since Abbie & Tim have been so patient waiting for these) may I present a sneak peek of Abbie & Tim’s wedding…

Yes, the computer trolls have struck again. My computer has been throwing fits for the past 3 months or so (blue screen of death, not starting up right, not coming back from stand-by, Adobe programs crashing – fun things like that.) The fixit people have been out and have replaced almost the entire thing (including a few reinstallations of the OS) but it was still happening. So the wonderful HP people have sent me a BRAND NEW COMPUTER!! Woo-hoo!

So I apologize for any delays over the past 2 weeks or so (since it got really bad) and should be back on track tomorrow! My to-do list is huge, but with a properly functioning computer it should be up to date in no time!! Thanks for being patient!

I had the privledge of doing a session with a wonderful senior last night. She had a great sense of humor and was up for anything! We had a great time traipsing about Hancock looking for fun places to shoot.

This first one is at the school. Both sides of the high school have these little empty alcoves that always seemed like they were missing a statue of some sort… so we put Lauren up there as one!

I’m not sure which of these 2 I like better…

And I love this one of Lauren overlooking the tennis court (she’s an amazing tennis player!) What you don’t see is the port-a-john right next to us! LOL! Gotta love those aromatics!

Thanks for being such a great sport Lauren!

I just started downloading the images from last night’s wedding and I came across these 3 that I wanted to share. The first 2 are of Abbie , who was an absolutely GORGEOUS bride! But more than that, she and her new husband Tim were so much fun to work with! They had a beautiful outside ceremony yesterday (it started drizzling, but thankfully never got worse than that) and my assistant Michele and I had a wonderful time! You may remember Abbie & Tim’s e-session (if you haven’t seen it yet, you can visit it here: http://www.prochazkaphotography.com/blog/2008/10/abbie-tim/ )

And now for the pictures I wanted to share…

I love this one in both b/w and color, but there’s something so gorgeous and sultry about the b/w

The minute I saw the old time carnival signs I knew I wanted to shoot with them. I love this one because it feels like it’s straight out of another generation

I’ll be back in a couple of days with a slideshow sneek peak.

When Evan scheduled his senior session, the first words out of his mouth were “Can I bring my 4 wheeler for some pictures?” I absolutely love it when seniors bring along things that are important to them because it makes the session that much more fun. So I said “Sure!” and he brought it in the back of his truck. Guys are usually harder to photograph than girls, simply because they are usually not quite as comfortable in front of the camera. But Evan did great! I hope these capture him!

I’ve been so blessed this year; not only have my clients been beautiful, but they’ve also been so sweet and a joy to work with! Melissa called me a while back to schedule her senior session and we had a blast! It was a perfect day for it and she was so much fun (and her mom had us both laughing for most of the session!) And yes, I have a lot of pictures that show Melissa’s beautiful smile, but these are a few of my personal favorites.

This one was taken at the very end of the session and is my favorite. What you don’t see is the behind the scenes work – mainly Melissa’s mom holding up a fan and both of us cracking up when M’s hair went flying everywhere!

I’ve been looking forward to this session for months! My little sister Kourtnie (who obviously isn’t so little anymore) is a senior! And of course wanted me to do her senior pictures. Kourt happens to be one of the coolest people I know – she’s up for anything and always knows how to have a good time. So for her pictures I wanted to do something different than the usual. I wanted a more urban feel to some of them, so we headed to Hancock for some cool locations. For those of you that know the town, you may be thinking “Hancock, urban?” But that’s part of the fun of scouting for a session like this – finding those little spots that you’d never guess could be cool in a photograph. I love these – we went a little rocker with a few of them.

This one is my favorite I think. It’s tied for first with the black and white I posted first.
