EMILY & BLAKE - MIDTOWN MAGIC!

Emily and Blake go together ... like tulips and Starbucks!  In Midtown EVERYONE knows what I'm talkin' 'bout.   We had great afternoon Sunday for a little romance in one of Tulsa's landmark areas - Utica Square.  Emily and Blake have a little history with tulips and coffee AND Utica Square so it only seemed too perfect that we'd have their engagement session there.  Blake has been sending Emily tulips every month since they started dating and her proposal started with a bouquet of tulips and two cards - think scavenger hunt - and guess who was at the end of it with the BIG QUESTION!  What a romantic!   Emily is a second grade teacher and I am certain every one of her students just adores her!  Blake keeps her in good training for them and these two just have so much fun together - lots of giggles going on!    I had so much fun with you guys.  Can't wait for your wedding this summer.  Congrats on your first new home too!  

Brides of Oklahoma Announcement Deadlines

Brides of Oklahoma Magazine publishes its next issue in July but May 15th is the DEADLINE for getting your wedding or engagement announcement application in.   If you want to have your wedding or engagement photos and information in the next issue, go to their website or come by the studio for an application, 'cause we have some here of course!    If you haven't seen the magazine, the January issue is still on the newstands and we have a copy you can look at too.  I think we've only got a couple issues left to hand out but you are welcome to come by and look and visit and grab a Starbucks with us.    We advertise with BOK Mag so be sure and tell them we're your 'togs and you'll get a discount on your submission fee.   It's really a beautiful magazine, the photos looks great in there and the pages feel like silk.  Yummy.  It's a NICE publication to send to all your family and the cost is comparable to putting a black/white announcement in the newspaper for one day.  So, call the girls - Kami & Ashley - at BOK Mag and GET PUBLISHED!       

A GRAND Love Affair

i spent Memorial Day weekend at Grand Lake and it rained most of the time BUT... I did get to squeeze a quick session in with Ashley and Clint on Friday afternoon - during a cloud break. They live in Austin, TX but were visiting her family's lakehouse for the holiday so it just seemed too perfect to pass up. Besides, it turns out they met and had quite a courtship at Grand Lake and are now set to tie the knot in the fall. Clint told me that Ashley could drive a BIG BOAT when she was 17 and he said..."when she backed that boat up to the dock and dropped me off, I was in love!" It's obvious that's still the case, huh? I think she kinda likes him too. Can't wait for this September party! Thanks for giving me a little of your holiday, guys. AND.. thanks for the boat ride, Grant. Lisa

Virginia is for Lovers

That sounds like a bumper sticker..umm. Well, it should be - Kate and Todd are set to tie the knot this summer so we spent a little time last week in Alexandria, VA where they met and live, and the dogs weren't the only ones with cold noses. It was a little chilly but we forged ahead and had so much fun in Old Town Alexandria. Their dogs are actually the matchmakers here. It was Duke and Chevy that introduced them and kept them running into each other until they fell in love. They'll soon be one big happy - fuzzy - family. I had a great time in your beautiful little town guys. Thanks so much! July will be here before you know it!
