We are pleased to introduce to you Mr & Mrs Chase Hilbert!

This past weekend we hung out with one of Jon’s old roomies and his fiancee for their big day. Chase & Kristine united in marriage under Christ on Saturday Sept. 26, 2009 at the Prestwood Chapel with a reception following at the Coyote Ridge Country Club. Surrounded by their family and friends this wonderful couple spent the day relaxing and being pampered. The ladies started their day getting their nails done, then they headed to lunch at Chick Fil A, got their hair done at Kristine’s place and makeup at the mall. The guys spent the day sleeping in, running around & enjoying Buffalo Wild Wings. We had so much fun getting to know their wonderful group of friends and can’t wait to see all the awesome things in store for this great couple.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Hilbert!!!

We here at JIP decided that we would start trying to post about the upcoming Bridal Shows in the DFW area. Why you might ask? Because we want our couples to win free things! Every bridal show is FULL of GIVEAWAYS!!!! On September 20th from noon-5pm is the Waxahachie Bridal Extravaganza at the Waxahachie Civic Center. Swing by there with a couple pages of return address stickers and get to winning! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, we went to this show 3 years ago when we were engaged although a smaller show, full of very interesting vendors, we did win $50 to Bed, Bath & Beyond! Enjoy!

We had a fabulous time Monday night with some great friends of ours, the Foleys. We headed out to Legacy to spend the evening taking family photos and pictures of Sydnee for her upcoming 1st birthday. Once we got out there Kate shared that we were doing picture’s exactly 1 year ago when Sydnee was still in mommy’s tummy which made the night even more special. Sounds like a fun tradition if you ask me! After running around dodging the incoming storm we had dinner at one of our favorite places Taco Diner. Keep an eye out for some shots from their shoot one year ago and current to come.

So just after completing Lizzie’s Senior shoot in Cypress, we ran over to the Cress Family’s home where we did a photo shoot with Brad, Ranee, Dylan , Lydia and Joel. Now this is an entertaining bunch! All 3 kids have distinct personalities and it was fun to watch their approach to us following them with a camera. Little Joel was a ham, full of cute sayings and cute expressions. He had us laughing on multiple occasions. Lydia is a sweet girl with a passion for cooking which we had the privilege of capturing in our photos. Dylan is the oldest and just at that age where friends, sports and video games are his life so a camera was the last thing he felt like messing with. Their parents, Brad & Ranee both had had a surgery in the weeks prior and were being great sports posing and smiling. All in all they were a great team and we had fun getting to know this family throughout the evening. Thanks Cress Family!!!

One of Joel’s favorite things to do is to cook and in the photo below he is telling him mom about his current task…cutting the asparagus.

 So despite the seemingly impending doom of rain, we drove down to Cypress, TX this past weekend which is just north of Houston for Lizzie’s Senior Photos and just like good ol’ Texas weather, it didn’t so much more than sprinkle. For this we were very thankful because we were able to run around Vintage Park to snap some awesome shots! We had her running around barefoot, spinning in circles and rolling in the grass, she was a great sport! Lizzie’s brother Jake was even able to join us for a few despite his best efforts to escape. We had alot of fun getting to know these 2 and their mom who was on hand with umbrellas and water. Keep an eye out for her photos sometime this week and Congratulation on Graduating!!!!
