"you should get everything in life as fast as you can & figure out the details later"...
& i remember hearing that & thinking, "i love that!". kinda along the same lines of 'follow your heart, live for today'... but worded entirely differently.
wedding season is still in high gear & with how non-stop my days have been, it is truly no wonder that i missed another "wednesday's whimsy" last week. & i know i promised you all a good one....
so here it is... finally!
they say that there never really is a good time for anything...
well, it definitely might not be the best time, however i have always been one to follow my heart & my heart has known for a very long time now that i was ready to adopt a dog. when my eyes first saw this little guy... i knew that i had no choice. everything happens for a reason..., i knew in my gut that he was perfect.
& that, he really is.
after all, i have to keep going on fulfilling that Bucket List of mine!
so without further ado, please meet the newest addition to my family...
Jones.
he is half Collie, half Golden Retriever & a BIG bundle of unconditional love.
look at his little tongue - SOOOOOOO precious!
he is still getting used to my camera...
& was making the funniest expressions :
i just love him so much :
:
his eyes are mesmerizing...
& only the future will tell what those paws are going to grow into! can't wait!

everyone was so warm & inviting, my assistant Danielle & i felt right at home. the food was catered by the awesome Graystone Farms & entertainment was energized by none other than the radtastic Music Box Productions!! it was an unforgettable day & night... making it all the more difficult to narrow down my top favorite images for the sneak peek below!! 
make sure to check out their slideshow posted at the end for even more photographs, as well!
Marissa & Larry, i am SO incredibly happy for you both.
your happiness & love for each other is something that is apparent in every moment, touch, & photograph. i will never forget the time that day when we got to sneak away for some awesome pics on Marissa's boat... it was such a special & personal touch to the day (which you know i looooove!). i hope these images bring some smiles to your faces as they have done mine... more to come & thank you again for being so amazing (& patient!!). it is incredibly appreciated.
first up, i wasn't joking when i said that A-ga-ming was beautiful :

another top fav... just a genuine moment of Marissa with her favorite little ladies :

on our way back, i couldn't resist stopping here :
to me, this image portrays their genuine, unconditional admiration & love... definitely another top, top fav :
once back to the reception... we mustn't forget all the personal touches & fabulous details :
... when asked who the wedding coordinator was... Marissa replied with "my Mom!!"... well, she clearly did an amazing job :
their first dance as Mr. & Mrs. Braun :
father/daughter & mother/son :
a GOOD time was had by ALL... that's for sure!
& to top it all off, Marissa had choreographed a surprise dance routine to Young MC "Bust a Move" which was BEYOND amazing & soooooo impressive :
(i love the way Haeli is looking up to Marissa in this one...)
here we have Marissa's Mom, Fran, with her son-in-law, Jason... they both are as fun, lively & happy as this pic portrays :
her Grandma is the sweetest :
& lastly, a moment caught near the end of the night... i think the way Larry looks at Marissa says it all. congrats again you guys!!!
