steph's shower

my baby sister is getting married in october. she is doing it in true stephani (notice the no e at the end of her name -always unique, always different) fashion. on a friday. in nashville. it's going to be awesome.

she is marrying the love of her life & my good friend jeff. i know jeff from my favorite place in the world -silver bay association. jeff's brother, dougy, is one of my closest friends from camp. he asked me to shoot his wedding & steph came with because she got to know him pretty well too, the summer she worked there.

well, i don't know what kindof detail i need to go into :) but they ended up "getting together" that night. i actually snapped a photographed two seconds after their first kiss. my birthday was the next day- so after the wedding we all went out drinking to continue on in the festivities.

dancing at the reception.
at the bar, getting a lil closer.
yep, here it is. in all it's glory. literally 2 seconds after their first kiss. we were all working our way back to the hotel when we smelled pizza. now drunk & disorderly we ordered some. steph stood on this chair so they could share a piece. i'm happily eating mine over at a table when i look up & see them kissing. i'm stunned for a second, but then my paparazzi skills set in & i grab the camera.
this says it all.
i love that last one. it's how they are still to this day: goofy, fun loving & cute.


stay tuned for more pictures- i'm their official photographer. and maid of honor. this should be fun ;)

but, back to the shower! our aunt karen & cousin maria hosted it for her & it was beautiful. i unfortunately didn't think to grab a picture of the four of them together- but THANK YOU. you all did an amazing job!

they framed the invitation & had flowers everywhere.
here's the reaction to karen's toast. giggles. i think my uncle was actually inviting himself to the rarig's home in the pocono's.
cheers to the lovely couple. i love how happy my mom is here.
aunt sandy's pimento sandwiches. they were too cute so i had to take a picture.
tehee.
get it.
opening presents. jeff loved his apron- it has a pocket for his beer, so it's perfect.
i mean no home is complete without the bride & groom kissing salt n pepper shakers.
our fam.
jeff's parents flew in for the party.
the miller women sure do know how to make a man feel special.
this post wouldn't be complete without some pics of finn.
playing with his cousin kennedy.

yeah for parties. and for weddings.

we have my cousin jackie's coming up & then our cousin brad just proposed so we'll just keep em coming from now on out!!

to steph & jeff. love you.
