This post is going up at 1 a.m., so there will just be pictures for now. I promise to come back tomorrow and tell you more about these wonderful people and their beautiful wedding. For now, the preparation and the ceremony…


























Several weeks ago, I headed back to my old stomping grounds in Columbia. I love that town, and it always amazes me how much it grows every time I visit. I didn’t fully appreciate all my years of college I spent there, but I appreciate my rare visits now. I’m really hoping that one day, Dan + I will have Mizzou football season tickets, so our visits will be much more frequent. Maybe Aidan will be a Tiger one day, too.
So my reason for visiting Columbia? Another session with the sweet, fun couple Manda + JR. If you missed the first session, well, let’s must say I’ve known Manda her whole life, and I’ve known her mom + dad my entire life. Our moms have been BFFs since high school. (And let me tell ya, that was a LONG time ago. *wink* (Oh man, I hope they don’t read this!)
Anyway, on to the pictures. And I really like this session. Anytime I wanted to try anything, their response was always, “Sure!” And they had some pretty fab ideas themselves.


How cute are they!?


This was totally my idea, and JR was all for it. Manda, on the other hand, was not too excited. But no worries. She survived 3 attempts at this shot and never got hurt. Who says white boys can’t jump?!



My fave from the session. I love the look on her face.





Ok, so we went to Columbia more than a week ago, and I’m just now posting – but that’s ok. Right? Aidan’s been keeping me on my toes, people!
Despite the crazy cold weather, Aidan was enthralled with Truman the Tiger, the lights, the screaming fans, the band, and……the cheerleaders. Go figure. Already a ladies’ man, I tell ya!
Maybe Aidan will go to Mizzou and be a Tiger like his mom. I wouldn’t mind an excuse to visit good ‘ole CoMo. I love that town.
Anyway, here are a few shots with the point + shoot.
