Groovin' at the Grove

Saturday was a record high for September 24th, tapping out at 101 degrees which is quite toasty for this time of the year! As Boise was experiencing heat waves, I was trying to remain calm and cool as I photographed the Vandenberg wedding reception at the Grove Hotel in downtown Boise.

I always get a kick out of the various family dynamics I encounter. Take for instance the grooms parents, Bill and Shirley. When Adam Cole asked Shirley what advice she would give to the bride and groom, Shirley (without hesitation) replied, "Have a sense of humor." I couldn't
agree more! I witnessed a lot of people having a great time with a room FULL of personality.

The decorations were stunning, the food looked amazing (I never eat on the job but I was drooling over that prime rib, YUM) and, as I mentioned in a previous post, Adam and Kristin Cole (Sound Wave Music) were fabulous. The beautiful wedding party, family and friends gave me inspiration for some groovin' photos.

I am still editing the photos but I couldn't resist to share the guarder scene (how sexy is that?) and I think the groom is blushing!



I am seldom downtown Boise late at night, especially with camera in hand. As I left the hotel I noticed the traffic and took a few photos; it was a perfect ending to a very eventful day.
