Patrick and Erika

Patrick and Erika were great! They had a scorcher for a day, but they are an awesome couple! We learned a few things while working with them. 1. When you tell the groomsmen to "dog-pile" the groom, they may take you seriously. 2. When you have the groom pick up his bride, and his pants split... it's okay. :) 3. If it rains on the wedding day.... it's still okay! 4. The bride's flowers are really two peices (stems and flowers) made to look like one.
We wish the two of you a most romantic life together, and all the blessings God can give you!!










I'm out of here.... talk to you again next next Monday. It's up to Jodi to update this week, so send her emails of cheer and encouragement. jodi@gehmanphotography.com.

Have a happy 4th of July and be thankful for those who gave, and are giving, their lives for our freedom.
peace.

Mike and Laura

We had a great time at Mike and Laura's wedding, despite the soggy start to the day. Fortunately, it quit raining during the ceremony, and we were able to stop by a park on the way to the reception to grab some outdoor shots. I'm pretty sure they had the world's longest limo. Congratulations Mike and Laura, we wish you all the best!!




Sometimes you just gotta go...



This picture is the latest addition to the homepage slideshow on the website, and I totally dig it. It is one of my favorites from Justin and Sahar's wedding.



Rodney's News

.Next week, there won't be any updates on the blog because I'm heading to Colorado with 15 kids from our youth group at church. Our group will be helping out with a mission in Denver and doing some service projects in the city. Jodi and the kids are staying home this time. So, if you're a blog stalker (like me) I'm just giving you a heads up. :)

Congratulations, and best wishes to you guys! If you're new around here, the engagement session is complimentary with each of our wedding packages. It's our way of saying "Congrats"!!







Randomness:

Here's another "What's Wrong With This Picture" for you. I laughed out loud at this one.

Update:

Sorry, you only get one picture today. :)




My Grandparents stopped in to visit this weekend, and we've been having a wonderful time with them. I'll get some pictures up here as soon as we get a chance. Here's the fun stuff.....

.Did You Know? Even before 9/11, the cost of protection for former presidents was estimated as $24 million a year, and George W Bush will be guarded by an unprecedented 103 full-time agents starting in January 2009. However, a 1997 law limits the duration of Secret Service protection for former presidents to just 10 years.

Rajan and Rashmi

.This morning I woke up at 5:00, and if you know me at all, that is unusual. So, I decided to be ambitious, and I went golfing. Thats right. I was able to get 9 holes in before the clubhouse opened. I should have taken a camera to capture the sunrise. Amazing.

.Random Shirts

If you like random, you'll like the t-shirts these guys create at Random Shirts They've got shirts for guys and girls, I just happened to pick all guys.


.I just came across this today and had to throw it on here. Not that it's true, or anything! :)

Contest Winners and more...

Winner!! Winner, again!!

So, which was it? Does nobody else like Texas Roadhouse?? Or is it too hard to email me a picture? Kidding, kidding. Apparently it was one or the other because we had a grand total of two, count 'em, TWO entries for the Dad's day photo contest. :) Ah well. So intead of the whole "eeny meeny miny mo" thing, we've decided to just give them both gift certificates. We have the easiest contests to win, I'm telling you.

Congratulations to Sara, Nikki and Leon for their entry (previous post), and to Tim, Reese, and Lynn.(below) $35 to each of you!!! Thanks for playing along.



We had some great times this past weekend at two weddings. Friday was Justin and Sahar's wedding, and what a beautiful couple!! They had a wonderful day, and were very much fun to work with. As for the groomsmen, I'd never seen a "mid-air" chest bump before at a wedding, so this was a first. It resulted in a man down, but everyone was okay! :)






I'll post a few images from the Saturday wedding in the next couple of days.

.Rodney's Corner

Jodi and I have been photographing in Iowa City now for a few years, and there is one little place we almost always go to eat after a photo shoot in the city. Baldy's has hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and a variety of those, but everything comes in a wrap, with chips and a cookie. If you're ever in Iowa City, they are across from the old capitol building.
