Last weekend I went to Elizabeth’s Garden in Culver for their 5 year anniversary.  It was so much fun.  Samantha and I went and shopped, and ate, and ate some more.  Jody Rodgers sells tastefully simple and had samples all over the shop, I went from table to table trying things out.  I ended up buying the the beer bread and some taco cheeseball thing that was amazing.

Anyways, here are just a few snapshots that I grabed, it was kinda hard to take pictures with food in my hands, but I managed okay.

(she has a ton of crocs, they are on the back wall also that isn’t in the picture- I walked out of there with three pairs  LOL)

vera bradley purses rock, and she has a ton of them, (I own two)

And here she is… Elizabeth herself.  (I call her Liz)

And here is Samantha carrying all of our goodies.  LOL  Afterwards we walked along the beach there in Culver.  We had mother/daughter bonding time. 

Elizabeth contacted me about taking some photos of her flowers and of course I jumped at the chance since they are always so stunning.  We were lucky enough to have Alexia model for us for a few minutes after she was done with the fashion show.  (email me in case we need you again, you were fun to work with). 

Anyways, I snapped a few while we were at Christos and then Elizabeth let me take some home so I snapped a couple in the snow on the way home from Plymouth, and the one by the wood is at the Starke Co. fairgrounds figured since Elizabeth and I spent alot of time there that would be a fitting place to snap a shot of her flowers. 

Jared gave the most interesting toast I have ever heard so I had to post a picture of it…

Shout out to my my dancing buddies who are pictured above, oh and to Nicole (mother of the running ring bearer and also one of my photographer buddies!  (Bob took the photo of me with cousin Joy-he was a good second shooter-although he did threaten to leave me in Indy if I yelled at him, luckily I made it home that night)

Make sure you check back later I will be posting a slideshow!!!!!

*Click here for Slideshow*   Special thanks to Chris Demis who was my second shooter.  Thanks Jim and Lisa for making me feel like a friend and not someone that was just hired to take your pictures.  I hope you enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed taking them. -Jayme

I met Amelia and Todd at a 50th anniversary party for Amelia’s grandparents.  After managing to get a group picture of her entire family she figured if I could handle that I could handle anything.  The wedding was held at the Culver Academy Chapel and the Reception at the Woodcraft Dinning Hall.  I was told by her mom that Amelia pretty much did it all, even decorated the hall herself.  It was beautiful and I really enjoyed myself. 

This is the first time I have done this… I decided to  make a slide show.  Click here to view it… http://www.photographybyjayme.com/hooper%20video/index.htm you will have to hit the tiny play button in the right hand corner.  Family if you want to see the image number on the bottom of the picture click on the ? icon and it will appear on every picture. (keep in mind these images aren’t cropped so if you order they will be)  Something else I have never done is open up comments on my blog, I want to hear how everyone likes the slideshow if it is something I should do more often.

For those of you that aren’t in the mood for a slideshow here are a few of my favorite images….

isn’t it so funny how he is holding the garter…
