I came across a website today, and just had to pass it along.  TOMS Shoes is offering a special offer to couples who outfit their entire wedding party in TOMS.  On top of this, TOMS will also give away one pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair you purchase.  The one for one deal is standard practice with all of TOMS Shoes, even if you aren’t getting married.  (Here) is the link to the offer.  What a great idea for wedding gifts for your bridesmaids and groomsmen!  Jewelry and beer mugs are nice, but I love the idea of doing something to help others.  Not to mention you still get a pair of shoes out of it.  I photographed a wedding earlier this year, and instead of accepting wedding gifts, the bride and groom asked guests to make a donation to their favorite non profit.  Very cool!  And a great way to start off your marriage by giving.

Many of you have probably seen this AT&T commercial featuring Blake Mycoskie, Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS Shoes.  This commercial was the first time I had heard about TOMS, and I am glad to see that they are doing so well.

Just finishing up the pictures from Adam and Dyanna’s wedding which took place at The Canal in Seattle, Wa.  Right next to the Ballard Locks.  We did some portraits before the wedding at the Locks.  What a great setting!  Two pictures up, you will see an example of what might be the best way I have ever seen someone clean up a spilled drink.  Put your foot on a towel, and keep dancing.  The moonwalk works well, and allows your feet to maintain constant contact with the towel at all times.  I would imagine that “Low” by T-Pain would also be a good song to clean up to.  Especially if you are more coordinated with your hands than your feet.

I really like the custom cuff links which were given to each of the groomsmen as a gift from Adam before the wedding.  I don’t think I have see that before.  I gave the guys at my wedding a Huntsman Camouflage Swiss Army knife .  It’s hard to think of something original and meaningful for the guys, but Adam pulled it off nicely!

Thanks so much for allowing me to photograph your wedding Adam and Dyanna!  It was a beautiful day, and you were both so fun and easy to work with!
