My sweet Lindley, I have enjoyed getting to know you over the past year. Looking back since our first consultation it has been a joy watching all your plans unfold into a beautiful wedding! You and Ronnie are so blessed with a wonderful family surrounding you and I know they made your wedding day even sweeter! I enjoyed every minute of working with you. I hope these images help you relive the day and remember how beautiful it truly was.
Their first look was so sweet! These two absolutely adore each other. I just love the look of absolute joy and contentment

I pretty sure I could hang out with this family forever. Hayley, we have to go shopping together sometime! Although, we might be dangerous together. Seriously love your flair for fashion and design.
So in the middle of wedding season madness I had the chance to enjoy a sweet change of pace with this little bundle of joy! For the first time I really have no words. I think these images speak for themselves!!!
SJP would definently approved of these shoes! 
I was certain it wasn’t going to rain on this wedding day. I had checked the weather a million times {ok maybe a handful} on the days leading up to the wedding. The day of the wedding my husband checked once again. 30% chance of rain and diminishing later in the day. I entered the wedding site and the furthest thing from my mind was rain. Coincidentally the last two weddings that were held at this location it had rained. Still, I wasn’t at all concerned. Thankfully enough Cara and her Mother had prepared in advance, just in case it might happen to rain.
These umbrellas were placed near the ceremony entrance.

Then as we were finishing up the formal family portraits….thunder clouds rolled in! As the wedding party began their entrance the bottom fell out. This is about the time I had an internal nervous breakdown. Thankfully Hoyt ran to the car and grabbed the umbrella. Standing over me and mainly the camera we just rolled with it. Continually wiping the rain and condensation off the lens and praying that my camera wouldn’t stop working in the middle of the wedding. After I got over the shock and worry I saw the incredible beauty and wild romance of what was happening. Cara and Aaron both embraced the rain! I heard someone giving their apologies to Aaron after the ceremony to which he replied “Don’t be sorry for us, BE HAPPY FOR US” Life is really about embracing the rain and moving forward with a joyful spirit!
and then my heart melted into the puddle of water under my feet!
Although Cara had every intention of getting married in these GORGEOUS blue Manolo Blahnik’s
She got married in these….
and it couldn’t have been more beautiful! Congratulations Cara and Aaron! I have no doubt you two will walk through life’s storms together with a joyful heart! You guys are the best!!

If I had to choose one word to describe George and Courtney’s wedding it would be, Timeless. The day was filled with elegant simplicity and sweet sentimentalities. Courtney was a beautiful bride and George was distinguishly handsome. I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting George until the day of the wedding. All day I kept thinking and wondering who it was that George reminded me of….he looked so familiar. On and on throughout the day I pondered on this question. Finally it hit me, Prince William! Of course I just had to ask if he had ever heard that before. What a relief to know that it was a running joke in their family.
What a sweet family and what a perfect day. Thank you so much for allowing me to document this most special day! Blessings on a long and happy life together.
On to the imagery……

The “First Look” The night before the wedding I had an epiphony, or at least a really good idea! You see, traditionally speaking the groom provides the bride her bouquet. So the night before I thought to myself, George should totally present Courtney with her bouquet during their first look. Little did I know this master plan was already decided by Courtney and George. In fact Courtney’s bouquet was hidden away so that George could present it to her as a surprise. Now that is a plan divinely coming together!

This antique car used to belong to Courtney’s grandfather. Such a nice sentimental rememberance.

This session was a little bitter sweet knowing that this is the last little Johnson newborn session. I have had the pleasure of photographing each one of the Johnson girls from birth. I just can’t believe how much they are all growing up. Looking forward to watching Miss Madeline grow!
Such a sweet and special family!

Nothing drives my desire to stay in ‘this’ business more than the personal connection made with my clients. Getting to know Lee and Susanna has been such a joy. Susanna has a heart of gold and all I can say is how truly blessed I feel to have clients that feel much more like friends. Susanna and Lee, I hope you all enjoy these image from your wedding day for years and years to come and it has been my honor to be your photographer!

To say that I loved Susanna's shoes would be an understatement!
This was the mood in the bridal room and I LOVED it!!!
The “first look”!
One of the best aspects of my job is getting to know my clients and watching their families grow. Since the beginning of the year I made a decision not to take on any new portrait clients and so I have more time to devote to the clientel that I already have a relationship with. Enter the Johnson family. I have enjoyed being their photographer since the birth of their son. Watching their family grow has been such a joy.
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect for this wedding day. Brittany and Casey, you both have been such a sweet pleasure to work with during the past months leading up to your wedding day. As I arrived at the lodge where all the girls were getting dressed there was such a happy calmness around. Such a blessed day and I am so thankful as always to be a part of it.
So here is just a sneak peek at some of the happiness from last Saturday’s wedding!
Praying over the bride!
“Sweet Caroline”….Yes, I’ve had that song in my head since last week. She is definitely a sweeheart though. Honestly, is there anything sweeter than a little girl at this age. Such a little beauty! She told her Mother during our session that she felt like a model. Sweet Caroline, you are a perfect model!
