Both of us love to talk. About anything. She's one of those friends who I can talk to for HOURS. In fact, we do. A lot. Last year we drove together to Vegas for WPPI, and I don't think we listened to music, or kept quiet the entire drive.
She and I both have a deep love affair with photography. A few years back, we discovered this was our true passion and decided to move forward and pursue photography as a career choice and not just a hobby. We work together quite a bit, and second shoot for one another at weddings. We've learned and grown so much in the past few years and I'm so lucky to call her one of my dearest friends.
In a couple months she's tying the knot to her longtime love, Ivo. I'm so excited to finally see them marry. When I was planning my wedding last year she was so helpful through it all. Now it's time for me to return the favor.
Last Sunday Kelly had her bridal shower. Margarita's and Mexican food were served while guests cozied up in a friend's living room to laugh, reminisce and watch her open gifts. The delicious desserts family and friends brought were too pretty not to take pictures of so I've included a few.
Congrats Kel! 46 more days and counting! I can't wait!

Kelly took pictures of gifts people had sent prior to the shower and thanked everyone by posting the pictures on a board- it was so cute.

Originally the party was supposed to take place in the backyard but because of the rain, we had it inside.

Molly, her best friend since they were in diapers, threw the shower for her.
