Hetrick Wedding June 18, 2011 | Wedding Photography Monroe Files Photography Beechwoods Restaurant & Lounge

My two snow bunnies said "I do"! But the real surprise was on me when I learned my petite blushing Bride was currently 12-15 weeks pregnant! =]

LOVING the tangerine dresses....and BONUS round! They have POCKETS!

Jessie's Dad and Mom, I finally figured out where Jessie gets all of

her adorableness that Cory can't say no to!

Seriously? How silly and fun were these two?

Ow Ow Momma!

This is the only time I can say camo and orange never looked sooo good!

I did good. I managed to NOT lose a bridesmaid in the pond, 10 points!

Camo cake? CHECK!

Cory and Jessie got married at Beechwoods Restaurant and Lounge. Maybe I am baised because I had my reception there...but Dagmar is AMAZING! You want someone to do all the stressing for you? Daggie is your girl!

A dapper line up of Groomsmen.

Pro.

The gasps from the wedding guests as Jessie came around the bend in a horse and buggy, priceless!

Jessie's Dad always sports the wind blown look. =]

Jessie's brother sang phenominally and there was not a dry eye in the house.

Just love this emotion on Gram's face =]

I think this is waaaay better than the pitch fork iconic image!

Can't get married on a golf course without a trip in a golf cart!

Needless to say, the reception was filled with a lot of line dances.

I was missing my days at Texas Roadhouse. Even more so

when I realized I couldn't remember all the steps to a few of my

favorite line dances we did. *sad face*

Congratulations you two!! Your day was absolutely gorgeous and so

much has changed in your growing family since then!

More of Cory and Jessie to come =]

Quick Wedding June 25, 2011 | Wedding Photography Monroe Files Photography Bald Eagle State Park

While in college at Penn State Main, I applied for a serving job at the Texas Roadhouse while it was still being built. The website showcased legenday, mouth watering food and the wait staff line danced once an hour. You had me at line dancing (ok, and the fresh baked bread with honey cinnamon butter!)

I got the call saying I was hired (BOOM!) and quickly skipped over to get my picture taken on the saddle and fill out paperwork. That evening, my roommates and I went downtown to celebrate and enjoy company with friends from out of town. This is the story of how I met Dustin.

Our first stop was the Cell Block. Our out of town friend bumped into someone she knew and after an hour of the Cell Block we were ready for a place a bit more chill. Our next and last stop of the night was the Lion's Den. On our way over, my roommate ran into her boyfriend...which left me as the third wheel. (Wah.Wah.) As I sat watching American Gladiators with a couple on either side of me making out, I was wishing I was any where but there. Then I heard, "HEEY, Luke forgot some paperwork for you to fill out." It was a quite drunk Dustin, out with two other Roadhouse employees celebrating the new store opening. Long story short, I bought them a round of shots and I quickly learned why his nickname is "El Diablo". Because he turns around from the bar with as many shots as his fingers can hold. That was 3 and a half years ago.

My two favorites were the only guests invited and we wouldn't miss it for the world! =]

Malissa was a part of the opening crew of servers. I remember her fanning herself any time a few of the managers walked past her. (3 out of 5 were good looking, IMO.) But it didn't take long to figure out which one was her favorite =] And life hasn't been the same ever since!

  

Dustin and Malissa had a very very small ceremony at Bald Eagle State Park, maybe a half hours drive from State College. It was a sweet and quick wedding (Not to be confused with Mal's new last name!)

This cute baby doll is Hannah, D & Mal's pride and joy.

It was so heart warming for Scott and I to see this wonderful couple finally say "I do."

The look of pride and huge smile on my husband's face was totally priceless.

How FAB is Mal's manicure?! I was in love!

Daddy kisses always tickle, those whiskers get ya!

Does Hannah have a favorite? Yes, two. Mommy and Daddy!

Two beautiful girls. May you two NOT get into nearly the amount

of shenanigans your fathers got into!

Seriously LOVE those leg rolls!!

Congratulations you two!! Scott and I couldn't be happier =]

And it's hard to believe your 6 month-aversary is creeping near!

Jenna DAHS Senior '12 | Senior Portraits Monroe Files Photography

Can I just say that I can NOT believeeeeee Jenna is a senior!!

It seems like yesterday she was calling family members "Poof-in-at-icals" and "Troggle Dogs" !

One of my favorite Jenna stories has to do with movie characters.

Not being able to say "beauty"....

some of her favorite movies instantly became:

"Black Judy"

"Sleeping Judy"

and my personal favorite, "Judy & the beast" =]

Then there was the time she was pretty little, I'd guess 4 or 5, and we were helping round

up the cows for milking. She went one way and I another and after a few minutes I heard,

"AAAAAHH!! Help me! EEEE!!" Good ol' Whitey was chasing Jenna bucking and kicking.

I rerouted my course and came in for the rescue. 

After the crisis was averted, I got my own for laughing and giggling at her misfortune...

my Nike sneaker in a huge pile of cow poop (Eeeeeew.)

I can't wait to see what college has in store for you!

Enjoy the last 6 months of your senior year, it

will fly by WAY fast!
