The connection I have with my couples is the most important thing. I’ve been having some awesome, inspiring talks with some of my photography friends and we all seem to be on the same page when it comes to this topic. Photography is something that is an every day part of my life…and I love that. It’s what drives me, it’s what inspires me, it’s what motivates me to push myself creatively. When the connection is present, there is an energy that is undeniable.

I immediately had this connection with Sarah when we met for coffee and I knew their session would be so much fun. And it was. They were such troopers getting on that row boat and paddling to all the perfect spots where I wanted to shoot them. I can’t wait for their wedding day coming up in June!

Enjoy.

Engagements sessions are seriously one of my favorite things to shoot. I get to hang out with my couples, share some laughs, explore new areas…all while creating some pretty awesome photos that they get to enjoy forever. It doesn’t get much better than that. I get to know my couples on a real level. It’s not a meeting in a coffee shop, and it’s not their wedding day…it’s just a day to literally hang out and get to know one another. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

Brynn & Matt are a perfect example.
Shooting their engagement session was so much fun! You may recognize this locations from my RESONATE shoot. After I shot there, I knew I HAD to bring an awesome couple here. And I’m so glad it was these two. We covered so much ground and did so much exploring…exactly what I love. Brynn and Matt, thank you so much for hanging out with me! You both know I simply adore you and I can’t WAIT for your wedding to get here! It’s going to be so much fuuuun. Woo!

Enjoy.
xoxo

*everything is perfect. love at first meet*

A little over three months later, you propose.
Seven months after that you will be married. Together. Forever.

Words can’t begin to describe how much I love Amanda and Jaron and their crazy/awesome love story. These two are meant for each other, there is no doubt about that. I hardly had to say one word during their session…their connection and giddy interactions is something I could photograph all day long. I can’t wait to see these two again on their wedding day. It’s going to be one fine day. Indeed it is.

xoxo.

Everything is perfect.

That is what it was like when I first met Jillian and Steven for their engagement session. We had so much fun and they are always a reminder as to why I love my job so much. The connection and love between these two is amazing. The majority of their relationship has been spent apart in two different states from one another. So when it came time for their wedding, the butterflies, the giggles, and all the kisses were at an all time high. Their wedding day was simply beautiful…what better way to bring in the New Year than to celebrate it with two beautiful people in love surrounded by their closest friends and family? To be honest, it was probably one of my favorite New Years celebrations ever…yup, it was that good. (Be sure to check out their fun photo-booth at the end of this post!)

Jillian and Steven, I love you both dearly and I am so thankful that you chose me to document your wedding day. I am so excited to see what the future has for you two! Thank you for making me feel like family. And another HUGE thank you to my girl Carly, who gave up her New Years away from her hubby to come shoot this wedding with me! I appreciate it more than you know

And one last big THANK YOU to Green Wedding Shoes for featuring this wedding on their awesome site! Check it out HERE.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the photobooth Jillian & Steven had at their wedding! Brides, if you are considering having one at your own wedding…DO IT!

Adore this couple.
