Knock, Knock, Knock. Ding, Ding, Ding…don’t let the bride and groom eat! It doesn’t quite rhyme but hey that is what it’s really like.

I love her ring!

Danny captured this image from their first dance. Its romantic…oh, and it really shows how awesome her hair was!

Herb’s Dad made me laugh!

The “bridal party” dance.

This had to be one of the funniest, I guess you would call it, garter dance.

These next couple images are from the bridal dance, or dollar dance. I absolutely love everything about them!  I mean, who doesn’t love to wait in line dancing and cheering to the best polka song ever to pay a dollar,or five, or ten, or twenty, to dance with the gorgeous bride and receive a piece of cake and/or shot at the end? But the best is the emotion that happens at the end of the line. The parents are always last to dance with the bride before their daughter is taken away…but usually not with out a fight.  I LOVE this image so full of emotion. I mean come on, look at Amanda holding onto her Dad’s pinky…it doesn’t get much better then this!

I thought Herb was going to have a tough fight to get to Amanda but instead he pulled a fast one on EVERYONE…well except me!

Congratulations again Amanda & Herb! It was an honor to share in your special day!!! Many, many years of happiness to the two of you!

I love cathedral veils! 

Cheers to arriving at the Hopwood Social Hall for the reception.

Stay turned for the fun reception…

Amanda’s flowers, from White Swan, were so gorgeous that this butterfly decided to enjoy the beauty as well.

Isn’t she breathtaking?

Bella didn’t want to miss any of the action.

Amanda and her MOH and sister, Danielle.

All the girls plus Bella in the window…

Amanda & Herb were married at  St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Uniontown.

The handsome groom…

The new Mr. & Mrs.!

I have to credit this next shot to Danny, somehow I always end up just a little jealous of his bubble shots….maybe I should start trading him places and lenses…

More to come of their awesome wedding day soon!

I had trouble picking some of my favorite images for this post because I have too many…but I think that is a good thing! Here is some of my many favs…

Julies smile is contagious. Don’t ya think?!?

I LOVED the rocks!

First of all, her ring is absolutely gorgeous, but I think that Buster and Hank need Coach collars like Abigail….Dear Hubby, are you hearing that?

What was left of the beach that day.

I had so much fun and I can not wait till the wedding!  Also, Buster and Hank thank you for the little bag of treats!

Danny enjoying the many desserts…

This is Danny’s Uncle Tom. We have had a photo war going on for a couple of years now. We get shots of each other like this behind the camera, but the big one is we photograph each other eating. LOL. No clue how and why we started this but he got about 20 pics of me eating at this party. Unfortunately we arrived late so I wasn’t able to return the favor.

Someone walked past me while I was looking at the photos and they said to me: “I should of known to look for you by the pictures”.

I love this old one of  the Pocratsky boys along with their cousins and grandparents.  Danny is top right and Trent, the graduate, is right in front of him.

Another rainy Saturday…but it didn’t stop Shannon and her friends from playing volleyball. (She is the little girl in the above picture)

The only picture I got of Trent.

Clay attacking Danny…

Cousin Claira having fun in the pool.

She was our flower girl in our wedding….I just love this little girl!

I loved the details in this old dresser and the details of Ashley dress…

Isn’t she gorgeous?!

This flower girl took pride in her duties…

Love the arches in the Cathedral.

The new Mr & Mrs!

Another rainy wedding day…but that just means tons of luck for Ashely & Bobby!

I think Abe Lincoln decided to join in on the fun.

Still gotta love the Electric Slide

Too much dancing for this precious one…

The rain finally let up and we snuck outside for some photos!  Congratulations Ashely & Bobby!!!
