I met with Liz and Adam at the local coffee shop – where Liz told me that she’s been following my work for YEARS!

She knew when she got married – that I HAD to be there! No pressure – right?!

PURPLE GLITTERY SHOES! I WANT I WANT! I NEED I NEED!

Getting ready photos are quite possibly my FAVORITE to take!

That shot on the left – I can’t really explain why – but it’s one of my favorites from the day!

The seemingly unimportant moments are my favorite!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

GORGEOUS!!

Instead of a sand ceremony – Liz & Adam had a beer ceremony!

Quite a bit of photography is being in the right place at the right time!

I love when clients trust my eye – I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

SWOON!

Stay tuned for their reception!

As promised!

We found a quiet little path for some portraits!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

That last shot might be my FAVORITE!!

OH! I LOVE THAT ONE TOO! She’s not sad – she was looking at her sweet daughter – mustering up the courage to give a speech!

This little sweetie gave a speech for her mom and dad – and she was so emotional! Such a beautiful moment!

Brandalyn & Andy – thank you both SO MUCH for asking me to photograph your wedding! I hope to see you all again soon!

Brandalyn asked me to take family photos a few years ago – and when she emailed me again – asking about her wedding – I WAS SO EXCITED!

SO HANDSOME!

She couldn’t hold back the tears when she saw her little guy all dressed up!

Because you all know I have a slight problem picking my FAVORITE photos to showcase – I’ll post PART TWO of this blog post TOMORROW!

Lastly – the reception!

First dance photos – I LOVE THEM!

Blur. Grain. Not the way you’d normally choose a final image – but some of my favorite images turn out that way!

Weddings are interesting – you plan MONTHS and MONTHS – in some cases – YEARS – for one day. One night.

And then – it seems to fly by!

Barbie & Jared – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to capture your BEAUTIFUL day!

You’ve already built your marriage on the strongest foundation there is – Jesus! I’m SO happy for you both!

I left off with the end of their BEAUTIFUL ceremony!

Here are the “formal” photographs.

If you know me – I find it hard to define anything about me and my style of shooting formal – but it’s the best way to describe it!

It’s another long one – but OH SO BEAUTIFUL!

That’s a shot Carrie snuck in – I LOVE IT!!

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!

Carrie – those shots are AMAZING!

I LOVE those shots!

OH MY WORD! MY FAVORITES!

I’m not gonna lie – I LOVE small bridal parties!

The bride and her brother. The groom and his sister.

That one on the right – BEAUTIFUL!

Carrie – thank you again for your BEAUTIFUL work!

ONE MORE BLOG POST – THE RECEPTION!

I took Barbie’s senior photos – when Fitzy was just a little baby!

I was SO VERY excited when she contacted me about her ENGAGEMENT to Jared!

Barbie and I share the same birthday – May 26th! We married fantastic Jesus-loving men named Jared. AND they got married on my sister’s birthday!

Carrie Dinger – Captured by Carrie – was my AMAZING second shooter for the day!

If you see a photo here WITHOUT my logo on it – it’s one that Carrie took! I can’t thank her enough for shooting with me!

The BEST part about having a second photographer is capturing the guys AND the girls!

It doesn’t matter how awesome a photographer is – they simply cannot be in two places at once!

Getting ready photos are my FAVORITE photos!

LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

Those moments – unexpected – candid. My favorite moments!

A first look doesn’t need to be reserved for just the bride & groom! A father’s first look at his daughter in her wedding dress. BEAUTIFUL!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!

This was a LONG blog post – thanks for staying with me!

I can’t seem to figure out my 10 favorites to post – which is a GOOD problem to have!

Stay tuned for parts 2 and 3 of the Frank wedding!

As promised …

GORGEOUS!

ISN’T SHE GORGEOUS!

It rained and misted off-and-on all day – but we managed to find some time to sneak in portraits!

Like most shots that I end up LOVING – this wasn’t planned – just a BEAUTIFUL accident!

Sisters and speeches.

First dances. Tears and smiles.

Father daughter dances – more tears!

Mother-son dances. I CANNOT keep it together!

PRECIOUS!

Kaitlyn & Colt – thank you SO much for asking me to spend the day with you!

I typically meet with my bride and groom in person before the wedding – but I met Kaitlyn on her wedding day!

Getting ready pictures are some of my FAVORITE shots!

GORGEOUS!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

And those ones – MY FAVORITE!

Sweet baby girl!

She asked specifically for this shot – to recreate a picture from Colt’s parents wedding!

Stay tuned for the rest of their BEAUTIFUL day!

As promised …

I LOVE THAT SHOT!

And – just because black & white is LOVELY!

SO SWEET!

That couple on the right – I’ll be doing their wedding this summer!

Joy & Briar – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to capture this BEAUTIFUL moment in your lives!

I’ve known Joy since she was little – like – before middle school little!

Photographing her wedding was such a JOY – even though it made me feel quite old!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS! Especially the one of momma looking on her beautiful girl!

GORGEOUS!

Isn’t she just LOVELY!

Stay tuned for the rest of their photos TOMORROW!
