Brooke & Blake’s: Big Day

Friday, September 18, 2009

You might remember the story of Blake & Brooke from their SO IN LOVE pictures, which seems like FOR-E-VER ago!  The short version of the story goes something like… My friend, Brooke, went through some hairy, smelly toads before she found her prince, Blake!   And when I say prince , I’m talking he wrote in & gave her THE sweetest book filled with pages after pages of their history, things he adores about her, reasons he loves her, what goes through his mind when he thinks of her, etc.  Prince, I’m telling you! (And all the girls swoon here….and run to tell their husbands & boyfriends to get on the ball!)     My favorite line in the book is in the last letter, which is pictured above, “Now get to the church and marry me!”  You see Blake’s a smart guy; he gets it.   When you find something as special & beautiful as Brooke, you don’t let her get away!  Love it!

Blake & Brooke, thank you, thank you for giving me the opportunity to shoot your wedding.  I had SO much fun catching up with you guys & old friends.  You are both beautiful inside & out!  If you’re ever down this way, please hit us up, and I’ll be sure to ring you when we are headed to USC softball games!  Praying for you guys & your first year of marriage!  Love ya!

One more page…. mushy sigh…. 

And this is the beautiful girl that Blake gets to keep….

K.  I’m reaching really hard for the symbolism here…..  Take your best shot…

Brother & Sister.

I laughed so hard when I saw Blake’s brother’s expression!  I have officially entitled this pic, ”You Poor Schmuck”.

 

Dad’s and their baby girls make me tear up….

And then, happy ever after!!!!…

Hope you love these Brooke & Blake!
