    Sneak Peek :: Billy & Michelle

    Wedding :: Billy & Michelle

    Yesterday, Billy & Michelle got married!

    I don’t want to gush too much here because it’s just a sneak peek, but it was a beautiful wedding for two wonderful people. I’m so happy for them! But, on to just a few pictures… I wish I could share more because I’ve already found several favorites, but the rest will come soon!

    Wedding :: Aubrey & Roy

    Wedding :: Aubrey & Roy

    As I mentioned on the sneak peek, this was a super small wedding; there were only about thirty people in attendance, but I couldn’t have imagined it any other way. Totally intimate and sweet, and the perfect setting for Aubrey & Roy, who had been dating since they were young teenagers. In fact, the church where they got married is where Roy first asked Aubrey out. Couldn’t get any more perfect, right?

    I’m super happy for Aubrey & Roy, and I wish them years and years and years of happiness! (more…)

    Wedding :: Sarah & Jared

    Wedding :: Sarah & Jared

    My first destination wedding… um, kinda.

    My dear friend (and photographer!) Jayme, was the lead photographer for this wedding, and she asked me to come along and co-shoot with her. The catch? The wedding was in Kansas City, MO, which is an 8 hour drive. The bigger catch? Jayme is also the mother of an infant. Eight hours in the car with a tiny baby? Are we nuts?

    Of course we are! (more…)

    Wedding :: Jennie & Joe
    August 13th, 2009

    Jennie & Joe's Wedding

    Jennie & Joe’s wedding took place on July 4th. Both church workers, Jennie and Joe kept it simple with a beautiful ceremony, then comfy clothes for all during the reception. They embraced the spirit of the day and had a picnic-type reception in a park, with some picnic-y type food (chicken, corn, etc). There were even frisbees and bubbles provided for the kids to play with. My favorite thing? All of the homemade DIY touches – flower center pieces complete with the flower meanings listed, and how they related to love and marriage, and even homemade cookies as favors! (more…)
