Eric and Emily



St. Theodore Church in Flint Hill was the local for this beautiful wedding. It was rather warm that day. We went to Ft. Zumwalt Park for pictures, and the reception was at the Elks Lodge in O'Fallon.
Emily (the bride) was very gorgeous and Eric (the groom) was quite debonair.

Nicole and Chris


Hey everybody. Here is the collage print from Chris and Nicole's wedding. It was kind of a wet night at the Jewel Box in Forest Park. It didn't rain too much on us, but it had been raining most of the day so the ground was really soaked.

Nicole has been our piano teacher for quite a while now, and her mother Jackie was our first piano teacher. (Blake started at 3 and a half, he's almost 15 now!) Blake and several other students played at the wedding.
The reception was at the Franklin Room in Soulard. The roast beef was some of the best I've ever had anywhere.

Their pictures are online today. Thanks

Bob Schneider at VooDoo











We had a great time at the Bob Schneider concert.


He plays a great mix of music, from rock to rap to reggae to punk. This is the third or fourth time I've been to a Bob show.

Who was there with us? Tom and Debbie N. Steve Jackson (tell Denise thanks for picking up the kids) veteran concert goer, and my sweet bride Amy, and her little sis Retta.


Voodoo is a great concert spot! Sound was good smoke wasn't bad. It was much improved Blueberry Hill.

His website is www.bobschneidermusic.org

Meghan & Kirk's Wedding Album


I finally got their album done. I've had four wedding in the last two weekends. ahhh. I love doing weddings, but it takes a bit of time to design them. All the albums that I design are unique, so it takes more time to create them. Here is the album. It is located on their collage page. http://www.afterfourphoto.com/meghan_&_kirkland.htm

Happy Memorial Day


I hope that everyone is having a great weekend. The Brinkley Family is having a busy weekend. I (Brian) had two weddings, KL had a sleepover at Megan's for her B-day, Blake spent the night at a friends and Amy was busy catching up on the work that she missed from having a great visit with her mom in Scott City. We (all of us) had a nice visit with the Jackson's (see Audrey's image above) and then I had a photo session at the Hawkins. A lot of family was over for Tony's graduation party and Peggy figured that it would be an ideal time for a family picture.


It was rainy, but after a short wait, the rain abated. We got some great images.

House Painting

We've been pretty busy as a family the last few weeks. We've been painting the house. I was a union painter for many years, so it is not really a big deal. I borrowed a paint truck from by brother Dan, ( His company along with my brother Steve, is Brinkley Painting.) and started spraying last Saturday evening. It seemed to take longer than I remembered, but maybe it was because Amy and KL don't tape off windows quite as fast at a painter would. Anyway we got it done spraying about 9:00PM. I had to have Aim get a light just to make sure I did't miss any spots at the last part of the house. (It was getting dark, ok not getting, but was dark.)

Sunday I trimmed out the windows in a darker color. (It was white, now a dark brown) The siding went from a blue to a kakhi kind of color. Amy and KL painted the front porch rails and pickets. One with a roller and the other with a brush. They were both covered by the end of the day, but so were the rails.
We are putting in a brick patio behind our deck, so Blake had the fun task of carring bricks. I keep telling him it builds character, so should have alot by now!

I still have to paint the facia boards, but maybey this next week I can do that.

My nephew Jared has helped me on some of the painting as well. His company is Brinkley Elite Painting. (brothers Jeff and Don are also owners)

I've been trying to get it done, but when I had time it decided to rain for a week, then I'd get busy. Aw, life.
