With the help of the fabulous team of Special Events Rental, Flowers by Marla Courtney Wood and Epicure Catering we transformed Jonathan and Marissa's home in Northport, Michigan into a slice of Maui and the Four Seasons. <br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmwcolor.jpg" width="810" /><br />The party was inspired by the regal purple hue of amethyst, rich teals and blues reflecting the colors of the ocean and their view from their balcony, the tropical floral from Hawaii and the gorgeous mahogany wood throughout their Northern Michigan home. Through hand dyed silk ribbons on their save the dates, 100% recyclable and reusable invitations, gorgeous crinkle taffeta linens, floral fresh from Hawaii and a menu inspired by Momma's (Maui's famed restaurant) we brought the volcanic isles to Lake Michigan!<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Photos by Jen Kroll Photography</span><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw001.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw002.jpg" width="810" /> <br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw003.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw004.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw005.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw006.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw007.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw008.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw009.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw010.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw011.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw012.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw013.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw014.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw015.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw016.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw017.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw018.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw019.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw020.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw021.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw022.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw023.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw025.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw028.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw029.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw032.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw033.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw034.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw039.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw040.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw044.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw045.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw046.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/jmw047.jpg" width="810" /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Photos by Jen Kroll Photography</span><br /><br />Perhaps one of the most generous acts to date for A Day in May, in lieu of gifts Jonathan and Marissa set up registries with three of their favorite charitable organizations: <a href="http://www.erthnxt.org/">ErthNxt</a>, <a href="http://www.circleofblue.org/waternews/">Circle of Blue</a> and <a href="http://www.ethreelabs.org">E-Three Labs</a> (which is Jonathan and Marissa's organization dedicated to bringing solar powered computer labs to the developing world). <br /><br />Thank you Jonathan, Marissa and family!

This past fall we announced, very quietly, that we were looking for an intern/assistant for 2010. In January, while I was in Florida, I received the email I had been waiting for... Tana Steinberger, an interior designer from Chicago was looking to move to Northern Michigan and was interested in working for us.<br /><br />Her professional, yet personable, email set the tone and we met for coffee this past spring for an interview. Dressed with style, armed with confidence and poise I knew she would be a great fit; not to mention posses talents that would be key in growing <a href="http://www.adayinmayevents.com">A Day in May</a>. <br /><br />In May of this year Tana joined <a href="http://www.adayinmayevents.com">A Day in May</a>! She has been an integral part of our success this season thus far and will continue to be a huge asset to our team. With an eye for detail that compliments our existing vision and a passion for the creative, I'm excited to have her on board!<br /><br />Please welcome Tana to our team!!Alicia Caldecotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02813952769811250173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479060012455810850.post-47401258792083263382010-07-08T09:21:00.010-04:002011-04-19T10:10:19.994-04:00Marissa & Jonathan, Part II<img src="http://s1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Blog%20Graphics/?action=view&current=clientheader2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Blog%20Graphics/clientheader2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"810" /><br /><br />Jonathan and Marissa's intimate Hawaiian wedding ceremony was magical and romantic- they celebrated with their closest family at the Four Season's in Maui. With the rest of their family and friends back in Michigan <a href="http://www.adayinmayevents.com">A Day in May</a> was planning a wedding reception that would bring Hawaii to the north shore of the Leelanau Peninsula! <br /><br />Kicking off their wedding celebration weekend, a Blessingway was held in Northport honoring Marissa. The tea ceremony was performed by Angela Mackie of <a href="http://lightofdayorganics.com/">Light of Day</a> where the ladies enjoyed a few varieties of Angela's organic blends. The women all sat in a circle around an empty wreath. Once each had taken a turn presenting Marissa with a token of their love for her, the wreath would be filled and given to her as a gift.<br /><br />Moments of laughter roared amongst the group along with tears of joy and humility- a beautiful send off for a beautiful bride...<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><br />Photos by Jen Kroll Photography</span><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0002.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0001.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0017.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0024.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0029.jpg" width="810"><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Untitled-3.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0034.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Untitled-2-1.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0083.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0042.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0110.jpg" width="810" /><br /><br /><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Untitled-1.jpg" width="810" /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><br />Photos by Jen Kroll Photography</span>Alicia Caldecotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02813952769811250173noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479060012455810850.post-84863482194563194972010-07-07T12:00:00.005-04:002011-04-19T10:11:41.136-04:00TheKnot.com feature<img src="http://s1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Blog%20Graphics/?action=view&current=press.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Blog%20Graphics/press.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"810" /><br /><br />A couple of weeks ago <a href="http://www.adayinmayevents.com">A Day in May, Event Planning & Design</a>'s wedding from last fall was chosen as the "Wedding of the Week" on <a href="http://www.theknot.com">TheKnot</a>.<br /><br />Thank you so much to Rebecca at TheKnot for featuring the wedding of Zach and Jung (we'll be posting details soon) and Jen Kroll of <a href="http://www.jenkrollphotography.com">Jen Kroll Photography</a> who beautifully documented their special day along the shores of Lake Leelanau in Northern Michigan.<br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/theknottwitter.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/thknot.jpg width="810" />Alicia Caldecotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02813952769811250173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479060012455810850.post-75850014189853358402010-07-07T11:59:00.007-04:002011-04-19T10:14:09.980-04:00Photo Feature | Simply Bloom Photography<img src="http://s1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Blog%20Graphics/?action=view&current=photofeature.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Blog%20Graphics/photofeature.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/simplybloom.jpg width="810" /><br /><br />James 1:22- But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><a href="http://simplybloomphotography.com/">Simply Bloom Photography</a>, German minimalism blended with Italian femininity from the sweet, sweet south.</span>Alicia Caldecotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02813952769811250173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479060012455810850.post-87886760253601779972010-06-30T17:25:00.006-04:002011-04-19T10:15:31.458-04:00Kai Heeringa Photography<img src=http://s1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Blog%20Graphics/?action=view&current=vendorshoutout.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Blog%20Graphics/vendorshoutout.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/TheHeeringas-1002.jpg width="810" /><br /><br />This past fall we had the pleasure of working with Grand Rapids based, husband and wife team Kai and Kayley Heeringa of <a href="http://www.kaiheeringaphotography.com/">Kia Heeringa Photography</a>. For over four years the duo have been photographing together from Northern Michigan to Scotland and everywhere in-between!<br /><br />Wedding days seem to go so quickly for all of those involved and it is important to capture the people and details for our clients and Kai and Kayley are just the people to do so. They love to show their clients a perspective of their weddings that they themselves were not able to see until well after the last candle is blown out. <br /><br />Providing their clients with images that are unique and true to their event they make their photography interesting to everyone viewing it, not just to those who know the subjects. <br /><br />Before we take a look at McKenzi and Rob's wedding from this past fall here are a few of my favorites from Kai and Kayley...<br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Bettina-Adrian-Wedding-001.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Bettina-Adrian-Wedding-002.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Bettina-Adrian-Wedding-003.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Bettina-Adrian-Wedding-005.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Bettina-Adrian-Wedding-006.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Bettina-Adrian-Wedding-007.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Bettina-Adrian-Wedding-008.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Bettina-Adrian-Wedding-009.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Jen-and-Nathan-Engagement-001.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Jen-and-Nathan-Engagement-002.jpg width="600" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Jen-and-Nathan-Engagement-003.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Jen-and-Nathan-Engagement-004.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Jen-and-Nathan-Engagement-006.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Lindsey-Mike-Wedding-001.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Lindsey-Mike-Wedding-002.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Lindsey-Mike-Wedding-003.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Lindsey-Mike-Wedding-004.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Lindsey-Mike-Wedding-005.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Lindsey-Mike-Wedding-006.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Lindsey-Mike-Wedding-007.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Lindsey-Mike-Wedding-008.jpg width="810" /><br /><br />Thanks Kai and Kayley for sharing your talents with all of us!

From the first glimpse at your wedding via your save the date or engagement announcement, you set the tone for your big day. <br /><br />We use stationery for more than a way of communicating our clients information and details about their day, it's a part of their design and "brand" for their wedding. A great way to add a cohesive design element that can carry over through your printed pieces and overall event design are through monograms. They are still trending in 2010 but these are your grandmother's monograms...<br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/CeciNYWeddingMonograms01.jpg width="810" /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/CeciNYWeddingMonogram02.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.cecinewyork.com/">Ceci New York</a> was founded by Lisa "Ceci" Johnson.

Aside from honoring and paying credit to those fantastic films of 2009 it's the single most watched fashion event ever.<br /><br />Here are some of my favorites and trend worthy gowns that are sure to inspire today's bride and her entourage!<br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/o1.jpg width="810" /><br />Sandra Bullock in Marchesa, Cameron Diaz in Oscar de la Renta and Kate Winslet in YSL all glimmered in their gilded dresses. Metallics are here to stay and these ladies of the silver screen donned Oscar's favorite color. <br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/o2.jpg width="810" /><br />Demi Moore in Atelier Versace, Anna Kendrick in Elie Saab Haute Couture and Diane Kruger in Chanel Haute Couture were each a vision. Feminine ruffles flattered each figure with exquisite fabric and layering- texture galor!<br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/o3.jpg width="810" /><br />Vera Farmiga in Marchesa, Jennifer Lopez in Armani Privé and Zoe Saldana in Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci gave way to form and function. Fantastic silhouettes. <br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/o4.jpg width="810" /><br />Maggie Gyllenhaal in Dries van Noten, Kristin Stewart in Monique Lhuillier and Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab Haute Couture looked amazing in varying shades of blue. From printed to painted fabrics blue is a great color this season.<br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/o5.jpg width="810" /><br />Sarah Jessica Parker in Chanel Haute Couture and Meryl Streep in Chris March took femininity to a whole other level. Perfect shapes and detailing for Mothers of the Bride or Groom or your sophisticated bride. <br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/o6.jpg width="810" /><br />Bridal fashion made ready to wear?

But in the mean time, they wanted to throw one heck of a party for their friends and family who traveled from all over the country to be part of their Northern Michigan. For those who have never had the privilege of visiting <a href="http://www.lelandmi.com/">Leland</a> you'll find her tucked along the shore of Lake Michigan with North and South Manitou looking on... those famous <a href="http://www.sleepingbeardunes.com/">sleeping bears</a>.<br /><br />I couldn't be more in love with today's post- Kate and Brian's wedding was the quintessential happy day. I think you'll agree with these fabulous images and insights to their day via <a href="http://www.coryweberphotograpy.com">Cory Weber Photography</a>! <br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/kb.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/family.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/weddingparty-1.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/kb5.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/kb4.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/blessing.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/kb2.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/kb3.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/kb6.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Kate-Brian601.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Kate-Brian610.jpg width="810" /><br /><br />Kate's talent in the design industry paired with Brian's creative vision gave an uptown feel to this down home wedding.

As her mother-in-law said the day of her wedding, "Kate is a diamond in the rough, and we're so blessed Brian found her." Need I say more? <br /><br />Brian and Kate both share a love of Northern Michigan. Kate having grown up in Suttons Bay and Brian having summered on the shores of Lake Leelanau. When it was time to plan their NYC meets Leland wedding Kate looked no further than Leland's <a href="http://www.oldartbuilding.com/">Old Art Building</a>. The white washed siding and beautifully imperfect interior played host to the colorful floral and guests that filled the room. <br /><br />Every detail was perfect down the rain that filled the skies well after the I do's... they are the real deal friends! Enjoy! <br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/ceremony-1.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/ceremony1.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/toast.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/cocktail.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/kateandbrian.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/oab1.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/oab2.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/rings-1.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/painobench.jpg width="810" /><br /><br />Thanks again to <a href="http://www.coryweberphotography.com">Cory Weber Photography</a> for sharing these images.

After a few exchanged words I knew he was going to be a great source of creativity and inspiration (not to mention friend) in the industry! <br /><br />Cory's artistic eye and unique approach to photography allows him to capture life's most intimate moments in an unobtrusive way leaving you wanting more. He has a true gift for wedding photography and I'm thrilled to show you some of my favorites from his past clients... <br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Megan-MikeES-32.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/mandm.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Megan-MikeES-25.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Amanda-Ben-104-1.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/amandabenvert.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Amanda-Ben-212.jpg width="810" /><br /> <br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Amanda-Ben-504.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/amandajervert.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Amanda-Jeremy-144.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Amanda-Jeremy-152.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/lisajonvert.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Lisa-Jonathan-101.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Lisa-Jonathan-482.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Stacey-Paulwed-308.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Stacey-Paulwed-243.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/stapauvert.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Stacey-Paulwed-339.jpg width="810" /><br /><br />Be sure and watch for more of Cory's work featured on the A Day in May Blog!

Kristin and Phil know how to have a good time, enjoying the most of every day and all the beauty of life. And, they know how to throw a great party!<br /><br />With a fabulous band a "must" the couple hired Colorado superstars <a href="http://funkiphino.com/">Funkiphino</a> from Boulder, CO. Jessica and Chris have hand selected it's members from an elite group of talent drawing fans from all over. The week before Kristin and Phil's soiree they played in a music festival in Colorado where Michael Jackson's guitar player (from all of his world tours) rocked out with them! Pretty cool huh!<br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/kphilcolorboard.jpg width="810" /><br /><br />In keeping with Kristin's fresh, summery color palette the Grand Hall at Copper Mountain was transformed- the picturesque Rocky Mountains looked down as guests dined and danced was the perfect ending to the picture-perfect day! <br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/reception.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0801W0092.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0643W0092.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/escorttable.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0596W0092.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/tbl.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0595W0092.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0609W0092.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0757W0092.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0826W0092.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/firstdance.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/lighting.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/0940W0092.jpg width="810" /><br /><br /><img src=http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af232/aliciafritz/Untitled-2.jpg width="810" /><br /><br />Another round of applause to <a href="http://www.jameschristianson.net/">James Christianson</a> for the fabulous photography!
