Michael & Brittany | 9.27.2013

Mike and I have quite a history.  We first met in 8th grade, and he’s been my best friend since 9th grade.  There are lots of stories to be told about our adventures in high school and even some from our college years when we didn’t see each other much.  Then 2 years ago, he was my best man.  Last month, the roles were finally switched, and I had honor of being his best man!  I flew back to Illinois a week early for the bachelor party (sorry, no pictures of that), which was a blast.  Katie flew up on the following Wednesday, and from then on, it was all wedding stuff!  We helped set up the decorations at the awesome venue and got to spend a lot of time with Mike, Brittany, and all of their friends & family.  Of course, I brought my camera for all the festivities, and while I wasn’t the official photographer, Katie and I tried to capture as many moments as we could.  You couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque day to get married – sunny, clear, and a small hint of fall in the air.  All the girls looked beautiful; all the guys looked like bankers from the 1890s (I had a full beard, so me probably more than everyone else); and the wedding was perfect from start to finish.  It was truly a day to remember.

I only met Brittany about a year and a half ago, but we’re basically old friends at this point.  She and Mike are perfect together – I’m so happy that God prepared them for each other, and I’m super excited to see where He takes them from here.  Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Zajac!  We’ll always be part of your lives – we wouldn’t have it any other way.  Now move to Texas already.

Piehl Wedding Preview

Here are a few selected images in a short preview post from Clayton & Kristen’s wedding in Ingram, Texas. Katie and I loved getting to get to know both of these two – it was our pleasure to do their engagement photos and now their wedding! There were so many great pictures to choose from, more of which I will post in an ensuing blog entry, but this is just a teaser while I work on editing the rest of them. Keep an eye on the blog and on Facebook for another post in the near future!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Copyright Infringement?

Well, there’s a first time for everything.  This morning, my wife came across a picture posted on Crate & Barrel’s Facebook page, and thought it looked familiar.  It turns out that they posted my picture titled “Green River” without my permission and without credit to me.  They’ve since removed it, but I’m still trying to figure out the best way to address this, especially because I’m leaving for Europe later today…  Either way, here’s the link to the photo on Flickr – http://flic.kr/p/7LHES4 – and I posted it below.  I’ll follow up with the resolution to this conflict in the future, but in the mean time I’ll be in London and Paris!  Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
