Best wedding party EVAH.

Jay and Nicole’s Wedding Party from Laura Marchbanks on Vimeo.

I’ve reached a point in my life where I could care less about what anyone thinks of me. I think it’s one part age, and the rest is a result of working for myself by myself at home. This double edged sword gives me a great sense of confidence… but it also keeps me from getting dressed most days.

I prefer to call them “freelance pants” instead of pajamas.

Last weekend I did get dressed, and headed up to La Conner to photograph their highschool homecoming dance. I prefer to think of myself as a wedding or editorial specialist, but I do love a good rump shaking, and could never say no to an invitation to a dance. I LURVE to dance!

In addition to formals, we also set up a photobooth and had a blast! Thanks for bringing your game faces La Conner!!! Let’s do it again soon!!!

and finally my trusty assistant Tre…. without him none of this would be possible:

My brides are SO clever! A couple of weeks ago in the mail, I got the sweetest little thank you note from a bride. We had an engagement session a few months back and she used one of the images from the session to create this easy DIY return label! There are so many details that can cost a fortune, so it’s nice to see one that is easy on the eyes and the budget! She used plain Avery labels you could get from any office supply store, but I also like these ones from Paper Source that come in fun shapes and modern colors. Drop the picture in Word, type in your address and PRINT! Presto chango!
