Jacksonville...not so bad.
(named after Andrew Jackson seen below)




Here is the hotel
we stayed at...Nice view..fun pool...
that my family and I completely took over.



No Diving allowed...so I
decided to do a cannonball



We tried to make it a 4 person tower
but Danielle the little girl
in front didn't want any part of it.



This is how we solve
arguments in our family.



Jamie and Danielle we're arguing
on who was cuter so we told them
to take it to the pool too.



The pool started to get crowded
so we had to throw some people out.












Here's Jamie with her
Towel/Princess gown.
(i think rache has this in
Laker purple and gold)



This is the famous Jacksonville Landing
...has some good food places..including Hooters
& Club Paris (Paris Hilton's Club)



Here's me with my favorite little cousin Jamie..
Her dad bought her a Florida license plate for
her car back home.




I just like this shot.














And so it begins...
first shot in Jacksonville
....and it wasn't my last



Here's the church
where my cousin
got married.



It was pretty big. I like the giant
dome ceiling.



Here are the
2 flower girls.



Throughout the whole
rehearsal Danielle was
doing such a great job...



following instructions..posing for the
camera...but what they didn't take in account
was that 2 p.m. (time of the wedding)
is her nap time and she didn't make it down
the aisle...but she did manage to go back up
the aisle after the ceremony















Time for the
rehearsal dinner..
with the famous
onion volcano
trick and....



....more
drinks!



oh yeah did a shutter
priority test....for fun













Also found another opportunity
for more album cover photos
....for fun



My aunt did a wonderful job with the flowers
which we flew in from California...all 10 boxes
worth.



I really didn't take much wedding shots...
I hate my poor excuse for a flash...and I need
a 5D for low light...but I did what I could.



Here's the happy couple
Cristy and Mike...
Welcome to the family!

Oh yeah side note. So, during the ceremony...My aunt lit the middle candle that the
bride and groom were supposed to light during the ceremony...the priest, bride, and groom
got there and looked all surprised so he blew it out...I messed up the veil by putting it over the
grooms head (for the record the coordinator told me to the day before) and my partner could not pin it on cuz it was a strapless dress and didn't want to pin it into her skin...we could
not stop laughing when we got back to our chairs...it was also funny because I left
the pin sticking out cuz I couldn't close it and I was already up there a long time...but
yeah the priest pricked himself on the pin as he put his hand on his shoulder....but yeah
didn't hear the end of it from my family....good times

Welcome to Jacksonville!

One min...it's like this and the next min....



It's like this...I swear it rains
then it stops, then it rains, then it stops
like every 10 min....here....the end
