The Truck stops are always the best to pick up bizar  trinkets. But here is an example of the East Coast and the Midwest....

New York State Truck Stop...

Here is a Truckstop in Missouri called Ozarkland...



And of course.... the holidays wouldn't bee complete with out a John Deer Christmas Tree

We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and get to spend time with friends and family!!

Derek and Hannah – July 19, 2008

Derek and Hannah were married at The First Presbyterian Church in Pittsford New York and had their reception at The Rabbit Room at The Lower Mill in Honeoye Falls, New York. It was a really fun day with great families and friends gathered to celebrate. 

We were luck enough to also photograph Hannah and Derek's engagement session. Since is was deep in the middle of winter and outdoor images were not possible, we took some pictures in our studio. 












The church was a little strict with their rules for photographers. They asked us to stay in the choir loft to take pictures of the ceremony. Even though we were not able to be as close as we usually are, we still were able to get some amazing shots of the ceremony.






We had a great time getting pictures of Hannah and Derek and the bridal party. Here are some of our favorites. 






The flowers, cake and decorations were beautiful. The color combo's were amazing. 



Look at the flower girl and ring bearer..... they look almost like mini-me's



Hannah danced with her dad and then with her step-dad. It was really nice to see both sides of the family included in the celebration. 


The maid of honor's toast was a tear jerker. She had everyone in tears and belly laughs..... even me. 







Everyone had a great time at the wedding and reception. They all danced way into the night. 

Congratulations Hannah and Derek. We wish you both all the best!!
