:: C. Pelland Photography ::

I thought it was about time to throw a little spotlight on one of the most talented, creative, and funtabulous photographers I know-- The one and only Christy Pelland! Those of you who have ever had the grace of her presence know how awesome she is- both as a person, friend and photographer!

This is Christy sharing a bit about her philosophy...

"at the end of the day, i want to feel as though what i am doing is worthwhile.
that the work i produce contributes to the well-being and happiness of others."

To read more about Christy, visit the "photographer" section of her website http://www.christypelland.com/

Missssssss. Pelland has shot over 10 weddings here at Laurel Creek Manor since we started a few years ago! She is always a delight to have around, and the feedback from all of our mutual brides is outstanding! She comes highly recommended by all of us at Laurel Creek, her past clients, and many other wedding professionals!

I cannot describe with words how special she makes her couples feel, or how amazing it is to see the emotions from a wedding she captures in a photograph. I can only tell you that her presence, professionalism, and fabulous photography will add magic to your wedding day!

So here's to you Christy!

:: Grand Floral Parade :: Laurel Creek Manor Debut!

Well for those of you who waved and screamed "woohooo! Laurel Creek Manor!!" at the daffodil parade... THANKS! The parade was so much fun, and our little "something blue" mercedes did pretty good considering she had a few parts still not working in top notch condition!

The Grand Floral Parade this year was shown LIVE this year on the tacoma tv network. If you missed the parade... you can still catch it on TV this week! in Tacoma it shows on channel 12, and puyallup, sumner, etc I believe it shows on channel 28. Air times change so check your digital cable menu to find the next one!

The parade patrons were lucky enough to enjoy the first warm weather of the season! I experienced this first hand... and believe it or not I got a SUNBURN! Check out the photos to see just how festive we were!

The beautiful floral arrangement was made special for us by the lovely April VanLierop of VanLierop's Garden Market! Thanks April!

This is the three of us (Al driving, Laurel in the passenger seat, and me as a bride on the back!) rolling down the streets of Puyallup, waving at all of the parade watchers! We were lucky enough to spot my dear friend and fabulous photographer Christy Pelland on the street... armed with her camera! Thanks Christy for taking these great photos of us! see more of her work at www.christypelland.com!

The sign on the back was made special just for the parade by yours truly :o) taking the daffodil theme a step beyond, I used these giant daffodil photos to dress up our website and the back of the car!


Finally, we have a great photo of us in Orting! This was the last stop for the parade but it sure didnt lack on energy! Thanks Linda (our LCM housekeeper) for taking this beautiful photo!

We had a wonderful time in the parade and look forward to doing it next year!
