A Coastal Wedding ~ Mr. & Mrs. Chappell

This weekend my family and I drove over to Gold Beach, OR to attend a wedding of a girl I still have a hard time thinking of as a grown up. I met her when she was just 8 and to see her beautiful face walk down the aisle with her father just takes my breath away. 

Could it really be 14, almost 15, years since I first met her and now she is a beautiful, very confident young woman getting ready to start the biggest journey of her life? 
Time seems to move too quickly. 

As I stood there watching most of the ceremony behind the lens of my camera, I kept thinking that one day it's going to be my little girl walking down an aisle into a new life.

I just want to keep her little for as long as possible.
 
The view from the wedding was amazing, on top of a cliff, overlooking the Pacific. 
Gold Beach is typically pretty windy, but you couldn't have asked for a more perfect, beautiful day.

I still have over 100 pictures to go through, but here are just a few of 
my favorites from this day.

Hello. How are you? {Giveaway!}

Hi. How are you? It seems like forever since I've seen/talk to/interacted with so many of you!

I feel so out of touch with most of my fans, especially on Facebook. I'm trying to think of fun ways to reconnect with you AND hopefully gain new followers. My goal is to post interesting content that you WANT to see and, hopefully, I am doing that, giving you a reason to click that "like" button or even leave a comment, here and/or on Facebook. 


So, with that goal in mind, I'm running a giveaway for an adorable 
Tiara headband on my Facebook page.

The winner will get to pick the color and size of the Tiara. It even has 3 glass pearls, one large one in the center and two smaller ones on either side. You can choose either an elastic or tie back. 

It seems the app for the giveaway on Facebook isn't mobile device friendly,
so I'm posting it here as well.

Giveaway ends at midnight (EST) this Saturday, July 21st and I'll announce the winner mid-day Sunday. 

Enjoy!
