michele + quent = married! raleigh wedding photographer

what an amazing saturday afternoon! and an amazing couple! michele and quent were married in raleigh at pleasant grove united methodist church--the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing and the light was incredible!



I loved that they served danny's bar-b-que at their reception--what a southern touch! it was held at the raleigh elks lodge and both the reception area and the grounds were gorgeous! I loved it that there were so many special touches for their day--they gave away seed paper flowers, michele had her grandmothers' pins on her bouquet and quent even found a penny (heads up!) when we were doing some of the couple pictures! such a special day, indeed :)

my new printer baby

last friday night I went to multiple stores bound and determined to procure a printer--specifically, a wifi enabled, prints-directly on cds, capable-of-printing-awesome-photos kind of printer. oh, and I had a budget.



and then I found this little dude. and since the only one left in the store was the floor model, and they couldn't find the price or the cords or the ink or the installation books, I was left to find my new printer friend elsewhere. thank goodness for amazon.



I am over the MOON about this printer. who knew it could, quite literally, make my day? last night I spent 5 minutes telling one of my best friend about how much awesomeness was shining through everything it printer.



I love it! see how awesome my client's discs look? they're all in the mail, y'all! more printer awesomeness soon... :)
