No silly, not our last wedding ever! We have a bunch of great clients to work with this year, but our last wedding of 2007 has become our first post of 2008.

So Happy New Year to everyone! And welcome back to the States, Amanda & TJ.

How on earth did these guys find you out of Kansas City you ask? Well you asked…

Katy and Matt invited us to share in their wedding in Colorado back in 2006, while shooting that crazy party we met with Megan and her then fiance Dustin. We like to think they were impressed by us, as they brought us to Austin for their special day. You may remember it as Eric was almost eaten whole by a Tarantula.  Well, the running joke was who were they were going refer, and a couple months later Megan emailed us with the news that Amanda and TJ were interested. After tons of wishing and hoping the call came and we were off to DC. It was fun to get the chance to see Megan and Dustin again and have Dustin start another bet. Between you and me, Dustin has no chance…

Back to Amanda & TJ and the great wedding weekend they had planned for us. From a little open house on Friday for their closest friends, to a very intimate dinner at a favorite restaurant, it was a weekend full of first’s and great times with our last wedding client in ‘07.

We traveled down to Busboys and Poets on Friday night for some mingling with friends and family. The place was full of character and made for some fun that we dare not expose of TJ’s funnier side.

On Saturday, we got up and did the little mock engagement session which you caught in our last post. Then in the afternoon the day got started and we were off to the Textile Museum for their wedding. The museum building had so much charm and fit the gathering almost perfectly. We had loads of fun trying to walk around during the ceremony and not let anyone hear us on the old wood floor.

Amanda & TJ came up with menu’s for each month for all of their guests and added some personal touches to each one.

On to the Two Quail’s for dinner, and check out that great deer head.  Classic!

A cake cutting with a Pecan Pie?

A side note, we technically have never eaten a cake at a wedding we have shot and it’s still true since this was a pie…  It was also Eric’s first time trying Pecan Pie.  What rock has he been living under?

It’s not every wedding we get to hang out with our couple the morning of their day. It’s not every wedding we go to the place where he popped the question. And it’s definitely not every wedding we shoot at a landmark named after Neal’s Son.

Amanda and TJ braved the cold of a DC December Saturday as we walked around downtown for their engagement shoot. We found a few spots to stop and have some fun before we ventured out to the Lincoln Memorial where TJ popped the question.

No, not the soccer team (or Football for those across the pond), but being united with some of our future and former clients. 

While in Washington DC this weekend we had the opportunity to meet with four of our clients.  Lauren and Brad, as well as Meghann and Eddy will be entering into the LemonLime Fraternity (Brad, that’s for you) this next year.  We are looking forward to both of their weddings; all four are beautiful people inside and out.  It was a pleasure to finally put a face to the names.

We also had the grand time of running into now old friends, Megan and Dustin.  You may remember them from Austin, and Colorado, and now DC.  If you want to go back memory lane, check out their post here.  It was great to see you two again, it’s always a pleasure

To top it all off we had the absolute delight spending time with our bride and groom that set this whole thing up, Amanda & TJ.  We’ll be posting some of your images later this week, but we wanted to send you a quick thank you and let you know how much fun we had with you this weekend.  Thanks for braving the cold and showing us some of the great sites of our nation’s capital.
