Wedding Fun

My cousin got married a few weeks ago and we had some downtime in between the dinner and the dance. The girls and I went exploring outdoors and cranked out some new shots. They were actually into this shoot! I took them by themselves one by one while the others ran around with Grammie & Grandad or Murray. 

Each girl picked out all her own spots to pose in and it was so interesting to see what appealed to each one and what they wanted to do there. I made a few suggestions but these are mostly their own!

Here are their official "8th Year Portraits":
 






It was party party party all night long! I had thought they'd stay for a bit of the evening, maybe we'd let them stay up til 9 or 10 and send them home to our place when M&D went. That opportunity presented itself around 10pm but these girls still had a lot of dance left in their shoes and were adamantly opposed to leaving early. They were having the time of their lives and were so well behaved that we decided to let them stay and just go home when they got tired. TWO hours later only one of them was starting to fade and willing to leave. One had worn holes in the toes of her dancing slippers and that red whirling dervish was never going to be done!

Finally at midnight, we pulled the plug on their all night dance-a-thon and went home. They slept very very well!
