Winter Wonderland

Ok, so it's been MONTHS since I have posted. Let's see. I got a new job. We are in the process of buying a house. We are helping Mike and Jamie get their house in progress to be a house complete. HOLIDAYS.

As for my own wedding photos......some day, SOMEDAY I will get on top of that and get them up so everyone can see them. I've just been swamped with Holiday stuff and getting on top of the weddings I shot before I did my own wedding and honeymoon. (Note to self: I will never do wedding photos for other brides before my own wedding. That proved to be too hectic. So, if and when I get pregnant, there will be no photo taking the last two/three months of my pregnancy. FYI.)

Here are some photos from when we went "Tree hunting" with Scott's family. It was a beautiful Pennsylvania day...complete with -10 degree winds. At least it felt that way when it hit you in the face! Tree hunting always makes you feel like you are six years old and getting super excited because this is the first step to Santa Claus leaving you lots of presents :D Plus, all of our fur kids enjoyed running around in the snow and their Christmas-y attire.

Mommy's stinker. It was SO cold out I had to put his real tree camo long sleeved shirt on plus his winter jacket. You can decide if he liked it. :p

Scott, Hoyt and Steve in search of the perfect Christmas tree for 2008.





Here comes HOYT!

Why hello, Tuck!

Jabroni sniffing the cool air.

Here are some random winter pictures from the Rockton area. It has rained, which turned to ice...then it snowed. That's why the trees are covered so good. It doesn't look like that here now....it's RAINING on Christmas Eve! Which is a bunch of C-R-A-P!! I don't think we've had a white Christmas in years...

This is what the Reservoir looks like when it's COLD!

I love this photo and the next!

Mike and Jamie's house! I'm not crazy about the columns in the front. I think they are too skinny....or it just really doesn't go with the town of Rockton. Or...maybe I'm just being too picky?

Stephanie and Alex, Sept. 20, 2008 | Wedding Photographer, Monroe Files Photography DuBois, PA

Still trying to get caught up with everything that happened before my wedding, here are photos from Stephanie and Alex's ceremony Sept. 20, 2008. They had a beautiful day and the red, white and blue theme was SUPER cute! Alex is in the marines and Steph went all out with the decorations.

The ring bearer, and Steph's nephew, Alex. He was TOO cute!!

Lacing her up 5 minutes before she has to walk down the isle! Cutting it a little bit tight on time there girlies! =)

The beautiful bride! She was getting excited...look at her glowing!

Her Dad put the veil over her head. Awww.

Yes! How stinking CUTE are they?!

I loved their dresses! And their head pieces too!

The whole wedding party.

Unity candle...

Notice there are LOTS of pettals on the right side...Steph had a pile under dress at the alter!

I love this church. It's so pretty!

Hugs outside after the ceremony was over. Commence tear flowing now!

The new Mr. and Mrs. Alex and Stephanie Thomason.

This was their idea and a CUTE one at that!

Alex got a fit of giggles during formal photo time...

*sigh* This just melts your heart....

A favorite!

LOVE IT!!

Timeless beauty.

The wedding party plus the ushers....minus a flower girl.

Yes, it was a complete smash!

The garter...love her little booties she wore!

The two great catches made at the reception.

First dance.

How can you tell a boy is having a good time??

When his hands are black, he teases you and he's wearing icing on his face!!

Father daughter dance. With her mom in the back ground. Tears were flowing EVERY WHERE! The song didn't help either :P

Alex and Steph, I had a wonderful time photographing your wedding day! It was beautiful and lots of fun! It got me way excited for mine! :D I hope you both are enjoying yourselves in California and being safe! Enjoy your photos and a happy fulfilling life together!
