Busy month

It's hard to believe that it's the middle of the October...and the rest of the month will go by quickly for us as well! Terri was in New York (outside of Buffalo) last weekend for a wedding she shot and then had the opportunity to visit Niagara Falls while there. The wedding was the niece of our good friends, Allen and Brenda Swift, and she'd been asked to be the photographer for the bride and groom, Jessica and Shawn...which is so funny since we too have a "Jess and Sean!" The bride's parents are Rick and Patty Palmer (funny again because Rick's sister's name is Patty!)...are the nicest people...we've had the pleasure of meeting them at the Swifts place in Tennessee a few times and have really enjoyed hanging out with them. The wedding was very nice...the weather just about perfect and the visit to Niagara Falls - amazing! She had the opportunity to see both the US and Canadian side and as you can imagine, took a few (haha...okay, more than a few!) photos! She flew home on Tuesday evening - just in time to get ready for another trip!!

Yes, another trip is in store for us...we are flying to Maui on Sunday for another wedding and some vacation! We figured that if we were going to make the trip to work (okay, so photographing a beach wedding doesn't really sound like work, does it?!), we'd spend some extra time time...so will be there for a total of two weeks...we can't wait!!! The bride for this wedding is Danielle Vesey, who is Jess' best friend, was maid of honor at her wedding and our neighbor's daughter...so how could we not be there! Besides, Jess is the matron of honor and Sean will be a groomsman! So, yes, Jess and Sean will be there as well, they leave today, a day ahead of us! Other than the wedding, we have no plans or schedule for our time there...we do hope to do some exploring and of course the usual beach walking, enjoying a drink on the lanai in the evenings and soaking up some natural vitamin D!!

So, now it's time to get packed and ready to head out...we sure won't miss the rain while we are gone, but will miss Aussie...and are thankful Terri's cousin, Tara, is watching her while we are gone! No guarantees of a post while we are on vacation, but maybe some photos...just so those of you who aren't seeing much sunshine will remember what it's like!! hehehehe....

ALOHA.........................

NOTE: We obviously didn't get this posted before leaving...it's now Monday morning and we are in Maui, having had a wonderful walk on the beach this morning. The wedding is tomorrow...we'll update as time goes on throughout our time here!

Here are some photos from the wedding...beautiful day, beautiful couple!



Some photos (lots) from my visit to Niagara Falls...
