    christine & jayson- the reception

    March 18, 2011 /

    There is a total overload of pictures in this post. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I just couldn’t narrow it down, and as a photographer that’s one of the best problems you can have! So get comfy, lots to look at.

    A few details:My cousin Jen (who is a florist) did the pillar arrangements. They had a table reserved for those who had passed away. Such a lovely touch. Let the fun commence:The infamous chair. They thought Tommy should get a ride, too.Omg, love!!!Time for the toasts. The next Beyrer family cousin to get married. Jen (the afore mentioned florist) and Mike.Previous bride and groom. Current bride and groom.A dance with mom. A real tearjerker!!A special song for the bride from her sister/maid of honor: The Curley Shuffle. Tommy (once he had some ice cream and perked up) was the hit of the dance floor. And rightfully so!Caketime!Bouquet and garter festivities. Hmmmm…..who do you think wants it the most??Not only do I love the fact that Tommy caught it, I love the other single guys reactions. Don’t worry- he put it on her wrist. Dreamy. And so in love. Jayson, I know this is your favorite!!
    So thrilled you asked me to photograph your wedding, so glad I’m done editing them in time to see you all tomorrow, and most of all hope you continue to enjoy your life together. All 3 of you deserve nothing but happiness!! xo

    new old pictures

    March 17, 2011 /

    Just came across these today. I think I must’ve been saving them for a specific purpose but I now have no idea what that purpose may have been. But I love them and am glad I’m posting them now. From our October 2010 trip out east. In a no trespassing area of the docks. But really, I was actually supposed to pass up this wall? C’mon.

    I’d just like to add how proud I am of my boys. Especially the big ones this past week. They are working so hard at everything- baseball (practices with their trainer), drums (in the all-district band concert and NYSSMA), school (waiting on those progress reports but I have no doubt they’ll be awesome), Jack’s starting a band with his friends for the middle school talent show,  and getting ready for St. Baldricks (getting their heads shaved this Saturday while raising money for kids with cancer). It’s not too late to donate if you are interested. You can find them here: Jack’s page & here: Patrick’s page. They have surpassed their goal, but they continue to accept donations thru Saturday. They are good boys.

    In related news, I was contacted by St. Baldricks and asked to volunteer to photograph as much of the event as I can for them. They’ll use my pictures for advertising, on their blog, website, etc. They found me online and liked what they saw I guess, so now I’m in. So if you are there and getting shaved or shaving look for me with my camera and smile!

    And in other news, we will be renovating our upstairs bathroom (the boys bathroom) next month. Lots of before and after pictures to come soon so be on the lookout for those. I was able to pick out everything this morning from fixtures, to towel rods, to tub, vanity and toilet, medicine cabinets, and tile for the tub, floor and accents. Bam. Done. (If only the rest of the construction process was that fast and easy, right!?)

    One last thing- if you a blog stalker in the Milwaukee, St. Paul or Chicago areas and you are interested in a photoshoot with me this August, please email me at bethbeyrer@yahoo.com to set something up. Maybe I can avoid all of the baseball games and just take pictures!? I can hope.

    March 15, 2011 /

    In between the ceremony and the reception, we snuck away for a few (read: a lot) of pictures. Here’s the results:

    Caught it! I’m in the beginning stages of editing the reception, so look for that last installment from the wedding coming really soon.

    chinatown

    March 14, 2011 /

    Went into the city last night just to go to our favorite Chinatown restaurant- Peking Duck House. It was as delicious as ever. Did a little walking around (well, it was just to get from the restaurant to the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory and then from there back to the car.) Didn’t feel like lugging the big guns, just took some fun shots with the iphone.

    Hope everyone has a great day. Back to real posts tomorrow. At least that’s the plan.

    disney 2011- hollywood studios (part 4)

    March 12, 2011 /

    Are you totally sick of Disney yet? No? Good. Me, neither.

    We hit up Hollywood Studios which basically = Star Wars. All Star Wars, all day. Unfortunately Star Tours was closed for refurbishment but Timmy (and Olivia) got to do Jedi Training Academy. Olivia almost didn’t get in because all the spots were filled but she used her Jedi mind powers and said with a wave of her hand “i don’t need a pass. i will be a jedi.” And it worked! Must be more of that Disney/Force magic.

    We need this for our house. There are other characters at DHS. Really. We ended up getting almost the last of the fastpasses to Toy Story Mania which were actually at the same time we were having dinner at 50’s Prime Time Cafe and then the park closed right after dinnertime. So after speaking to a TSM cast member, we ‘traded in’ our fastpasses and went early in the day. It was great and so nice of him. I made sure I left him a compliment at Customer service before leaving the park. Receiving his lightsaber from the Jedi master. A little training. Uh oh. And the battle is on. And then it was Olivia’s turn. Force push. “you will stop taking pictures of me.” Too bad the force doesn’t work on Mommy. Even the street sweepers are talented at Disney. Done just with water and a broom with a rubberband on it. Trying again to use the force on me. Not working. All the kids at dinner with the remnants of the delicious chocolate shakes.
