You may remember Lisa’s story:  On February 14th, 2009 Get Hitched Give Hope had the privilege of photographing Lisa’s dream wedding.  Her wish was for the wedding she never had – and that is exactly what she received.  She was able to celebrate life, her love for her husband of 20+ years, and share it with all of her friends, family, and three beautiful daughters.

On January 6th, 2010 Lisa lost her battle with cancer.  Here is the message we received:
“Last night at 11:45, Lisa lost her battle with Breast Cancer. A lot of you were instrumental in making her wish come true last year and gave her a wedding on Valentines day. I want to thank you so much for being a part of her life. It may have been for a short time but it meant the world to her.  Thank you for what you do and for who you are.

Here are a few images from the day, and if you would like to see the story as originally published click HERE or HERE.

Charity events don’t have to be huge to have an impact.  Here is one homegrown, local benefit for colon cancer that promises to be a great evening of music and memories.  Cowboys With Attitude!  Friday, April 30 at Traditions Cafe in Olympia.

Check out this fun Valentine’s Day event to benefit the Making Memories Foundation!  24 Weddings In 24 Hours — wow!!

In case you missed it on Facebook, here is the fabulous video by Leaning Wolf Productions of GHGH 2009! We love the way the video captures the fun, excitement, and caring generosity of the evening. Everyone had a fantastic time, and you can really see it. Take a look, and be sure to check out Leaning Wolf’s other projects, too!
