Wedding Day Tip: How to be a Hero

weddingtipbout It never fails to happen on wedding day- we’re rolling along with photos and it’s time to capture the groomsmen.  They are getting on their jackets, putting on their ties...(why do guys have it so much easier!!) but then the moment of realization- the boutonnieres!

We need them on for pictures!

All the guys stand in a circle like deer in headlights looking at the small flower and pins in fear and trepidation.

How on earth do you put that thing on?

So all eyes go to me–the photographer, who is trying to rally everyone to stay on schedule!   On the inside I'm thinking yikes! I didn't train for this part! But I figure it out and pin some boutonnieres!

Here are two helpful YouTube tutorials I found:

Little Liam!

Little Liam is as adorable as can be, and we had such a fun afternoon exploring around Falls Church and taking in the great weather last weekend!  Liam was getting an extra dose of love and attention from his grandparents who were in town!  A perfect reason for some photos...!!  :)2015-09-22_0023 2015-09-22_0024 2015-09-22_0025 2015-09-22_0026 2015-09-22_0027 2015-09-22_0028 2015-09-22_0029 2015-09-22_0030 2015-09-22_0031 2015-09-22_0032 2015-09-22_0033 2015-09-22_0034 2015-09-22_0035 2015-09-22_0036 2015-09-22_0037 2015-09-22_0038 2015-09-22_0039 2015-09-22_0040 2015-09-22_0041 2015-09-22_0042 2015-09-22_0043
