Save the Date Magnets

Andrew, Katie, and Ranger (of course! He is part of the family too!)








With the wedding right after the Thanksgiving Holiday, Katie and Andrew are wise to send these "Save the Date" magnets a couple months ahead of the invitations.

Happy to create these for you, guys. They turned out great!

Congratulations

Sending out a hearty congratulations and well wishes to Audrey and Mike Luna! Their daughter Emilyn was born Sunday July 5th - she is a beauty!

Engagement Session

Andrew and Katie

June 27, 2009


Andrew and a bunch of friends came into the restraunt Katie worked in. It was one of those days where Katie would rather be anywhere else, especially with such a wild table... Andrew knew Katie "was completely out of [his] league" and in no way believed this waitress would answer his scribbled note. He left it there anyway, on the back of the receipt (with generous tip). "For a better tip give me a call" -and then his real cell number. Katie was surprised, but she did text him. A week of texts later, they began calling each other regularly too...


First Impressions

K: Andrew has a great sense of humor. Our conversations were so comfortable.

A: I was blown away. I always tell her -still today- because no matter where we go I notice "Katie, you are the prettiest girl around"...


























Quirk that you adore:

A: The way Katie talks to dogs

K: Andrew singing in the car






















Interesting note: Katie is an identical twin


















Best Quality

K: Andrew is amazing with kids -all his nieces and nephews

A: Katie has the perfect balance of feminine and strong. When Katie is with me, she is with me - no matter the crazy odd things I do



Most Important

K & A: Very Family Oriented!

Comments and Thoughts

So, you might have seen the new website.

If you did, you probably noticed that several links are not working. My apologies: I now realize the value of doing a "beta" site and testing it thoroughly BEFORE getting rid of the old site... oops. Thanks for your patience and understanding as I get this all going and make it polished.

I've had the chance to get some feedback. One comment was "I don't like the aqua texture much. It reminds me of the 80's." It never occured to me, but now I can see it. :D Another comment was "It feels a little cold, and since your (my) personality is warmer than that, the site should be warmer and reflect that, too." Gotcha.

So, a better -and better working- website is coming!
