@AnieT - you could be right. I think we were lucky to get it spelled right!

@Shutterbugd - you should see some of the other pics…they were goofin with the letters and making us laugh. We’ll probably show some of those later. Good to hear from you … I’ll have to come by sometime soon and see whats been happening!

kafekotka - September 27, 2008 - 3:59 AM

I remember that wedding shoot and this is adorable…how nice to be able to follow up with some families.

joyfulphotography - September 27, 2008 - 11:28 AM

I do remember that couple. How fun – a family affair for sure! You are now shooting three generations of events.

chrisfawkes - September 28, 2008 - 1:57 PM

Evan has a real mustache on his fingers?

Beautiful family, are you sure you’re not just hiring professional models.

Trust all is well with you guys.

portiajules - September 28, 2008 - 10:03 PM

@kafekotka - It really is sooo cool to keep up withour couples.We really look forward to seeing them again and shooting their families….its a neat relationship.

@joyfulphotography - I know~~~isnt that sooo cool!!!

@chrisfawkes - LOL!!! Tattooed on his finger…it was a secret handshake kind of thing between some guys that were car enthusiasts that he belonged to…they would meet and put their tattooed finger up to their lips…too funny.

Christine

@portiajules - Oh I want to sooo bad but man we have sooo much editing of all the weddings we just did….if the economy picks up I might try in the spring…:love:

@christineguthrie - Hi Christine! Yes it is finally just beginning to cool off. Looks like we might even get a little rain this weekend…I miss rain!!! We havent finished editing all their photos, yet. But a slideshow will be coming in the coming weeks. Hows your weather right now?

:sunny:Just drove past that house today and saw a small sign and knew that name sounded familur. I can’t wait to see the web show. It was hot up in them hills today!

lydellphoto - September 24, 2008 - 11:43 PM

@Borelfoto - me too! It was HOT in downtown Sac today~

mommyfish - September 25, 2008 - 2:55 AM

Oooh, these are lovely as usual. I hope when you’re schedule clears….maybe y’all could come visit us at the beach?! *sigh* Or maybe we could stop by in late October..we’ll hopefully be headed to Lake Tahoe for a few days.

lastoriafoto - September 25, 2008 - 10:28 AM

What a beautiful set of images!!! I especially love the 1st one. Will you be attending the PPE show in NY? I’d love to finally sit down with you both and have our breakfast!!!! Hugs to you all…. xoxoxoxoxo ~ Dawn :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat:

lydellphoto - September 25, 2008 - 8:29 PM

@mommyfish - Hi Nancy!!!! I am so up for an October Tahoe shootout!! We should be freed up for a couple of days at then end of Oct. we will be winding up albums and editing the last of our weddings and other shoots but we will certainly take a weekend to rest up!!! Would love to come and visit you at the beach, too!! Maybe November sometime? Hows the beach in Nov. in your neck of the woods? Lets do some off camera lighting and a model!

@lastoriafoto - NY would be so fun but we just dont have it in the budget this year. Some dentist around here is going to be very happy when we come in the door. 8 wisdom teeth (2 20 somethings…our kids are at that age) , braces, and bridges, oh my! I think we should just do a barter with a dentist and call it even!! haha….I really would love to sit down and have breakfast lunch, or dinner ,coffee, tea or whatever! We will….one day!! I am so behind in visiting I was so glad to see someone come by since I have cobwebs hanging our site!! Thanks for not holding it against me!!!

portiajules - September 26, 2008 - 1:46 PM

These are beautiful!!! How was your birthday???? Love ya, Me

lydellphoto - September 26, 2008 - 4:59 PM

Hi Charlotte! Thank you :love:….my birthday was very laid back which is how I wanted it. :fun: After shooting this wedding the last thing I wanted to do was drive back to the foothills to spend the night at our timeshare. I wanted to collapse. We had a nice breakfast out with Dave and Kelly and JJ then I came home and read a bit on the deck but that didnt last long as the sun lulled me to sleep. So, I went with it and just napped away. :sleepy: Mark got us tickets for Journey, Heart and Cheap Trick for my birthday and that is happening tonight. We leave in a few hours. But gotta get home relatively early so we can be on our game for tomorrow’s weddding.

Have a great weekend!!! I cant wait till we have our off season! Wohoo!

backlightphoto - September 26, 2008 - 5:29 PM

I love that wide shot by the pool!

Definitely barter with your dentist. My dentist actually just brought up the idea of me taking shots for them in exchange for payment of some dental work. I’m all for it….=)

lydellphoto - September 26, 2008 - 7:19 PM

@backlightphoto - WHOHOO!!!! That’s awesome that you get to do that with your dentist! Yes that is my favorite of the three! How are you guys? I cant wait to stop by everyones sites after this weekend! Our last wedding until November… : )

christineguthrie - October 3, 2008 - 9:41 PM

Hi Kerri,

Hey, thank you so much for your nice comments, I was so pleased that you both have the same preoccupation with light as I do,

I’m always aware of the light, everywhere I go. I love these images, and the lighting in them, and my favourite is

that first image, it’s just stunning. I agree entirely, I think we all need to constantly experiment with light, especially light off the camera.

Have a great weekend, and I hope you get that rain soon.

maryhurlbut - September 17, 2008 - 11:00 PM

:heartbeat: Very nice…OK I’ve got my tea, I’m ready for the slide show
And I read about your bikes….when we used to visit Spence’s parents in Roseville
we always took our bikes along. You have so many wonderful bike trails to explore in that area…have fun!

lydellphoto - September 18, 2008 - 12:03 AM

@sayJames - thanks! we had alot of time with them in the beginning of the day but as the day wore on we had to work quickly! SO these shots were a hurry up group but I think they turned out nicely.

lydellphoto - September 18, 2008 - 12:07 AM

@saphoto - hey stephen! When are we gonna meet up! We went to the Sac Bride and Groom mixer tonight at La Provance in Roseville. *It was fun! I was hoping to see you there. Maybe sometime soon??

broncomom - Hi Nancy! I cannot believe how bike friendly Roseville is! Right in our own neighborhood too! Next time you come up lets ride!!!

saphoto - September 18, 2008 - 12:26 AM

@lydellphoto -

hey kerri,

yah you know, believe it or not im not networked with anyone here not because i dont want to its because i dont have time haha. man, i missed a good event. i work a 40hr week full time job too. been working real hard to get my wedding photography to be my main source of income and its moving along pretty well but im juggling both right now haha (crazy eh?). yah, it would be nice to meet you both in person. perhaps next time or when there is another event. ive actually never been to a wppi either yet, yah i know im bad hahahah. just havent had the chance.

joyfulphotography - September 18, 2008 - 10:42 AM

Gorgeous photo!!! You guys have been busy!! Have fun on your bikes.

lydellphoto - September 18, 2008 - 12:15 PM

@saphoto - I know exactly what you mean. We havent been able to make these things either. We went to one meeting early on. But nothing until last night. Didnt know anyone except some of the DJ’s we have worked with. But we left having met a nice group of people…

I hope you can get to completely move into the photography full time. You are amazing at it. WPPI is fun but expensive for us with 4 of us. SO we may opt out this year and go next year. Not sure what we will do.

I do hope we can meet sometime tho.

Kerri

lydellphoto - September 18, 2008 - 12:21 PM

@joyfulphotography - Thanks!!!Yes, busy is the word! I love my bike even tho a couple of weeks ago it dumped me on the sidewalk and scraped my knee pretty good and I think I bruised a rib as well. I got back on my bike and rode all the way to my Weight-Watchers class anyway…lol.

Kerri

christineguthrie - September 20, 2008 - 11:20 PM

Hi Kerri,

Beautiful shots, and red wedding shoes! Wow. Are you going to post their wedding album? I’ll look forward to seeing that. Have fun on your bikes.

Christine

lydellphoto - September 22, 2008 - 2:35 AM

@christineguthrie - Hi Christine!! THank you and yes I will post it when I get it done. We are still editing those photos so it will be a while till we get to the choices of photos for the album and then designing it. I will try to remember to let you know when it is up. I miss my bike! It has been finally cooling off here as we enter out fall I hope to be able to get out much more.

christineguthrie - September 22, 2008 - 9:42 PM

Hi Kerri,

I’ll look forward to seeing the album when you post it, bet you and Mark are pleased the weather is cooling off. Have a nice week.

Christine
