Is it spring yet?

When I walked into the bridal suite to meet Ruth and all the bridesmaids, I said to her "Ruth - I'm sorry it's such a crappy day." :) At first she was like - WHA?!@ Then she looked outside for confirmation that is was indeed the most BEAUTIFUL day we had in weeks! When we chatted earlier in the week, we both agreed that outdoor pictures in Union Square would not be likely, but alas the weather broke and it was a gorgeous day! The last I had checked, the weathermen predicted a cloudy rainy day. Fortunately, the rain held off just long enough for us to get all the pictures we needed. Later that night we discussed how lucky not only Ruth was, but at her cousin Maggie's wedding last July they also had beautiful weather that just "blew" in just in the nick of time.

Here are a few photos - Ruth had the prettiest veil I have seen in years - Luke and I could not stop shooting her.






I also want to take a second to thank Luke (once again) for shooting with me. He came back from St. Louis just to shoot with me and I know it was a bit of a hellish trip - both ways. On top of that, it was his birthday! On Friday night when he arrived at our house, we tried to make his birthday a little sweeter with some hot pad thai and an cool ice cream cake - two of his favorite things. Thanks for helping me out with this Alisha! As always, it's a blast shooting with you - thanks for spending your birthday weekend with the Groupps.
