Weddings

Matthew + Alex, Wedding

Alex and Matthew had such a gorgeous day for their wedding in March. After weeks of rainy days and cloudy skies, it was as if the sun knew it had to shine for these two on their special day! As we walked around taking pictures, I loved how this couple and their wedding party were full of laughter from inside jokes, sentimental smiles from years of memories between them, and the fun of making new memories as we navigated the venues. Obnoxious Jerry, the neighbor dog, who tried his best to photobomb every chance he got, will be a part of their silly memories from the day! And as far as sweet stories to be told later go, we can start with Alex and Matthew's first look-- both glowing with happiness-- make our way to the ceremony where there were more than a few tearful smiles, and end with a kiss between sparklers at the reception. What can seem like a regular Saturday to everyone else, is a day that will be reminisced and relived for these two and those who celebrated with them for years to come. ❤️

Congratulations you two! We were so happy to be a part of your wedding day! 
Special thanks to Nicka Smith, my talented second photographer/assistant.

Daniel + Chelsea, Wedding

They met while playing softball in college back in 2010, and what started as a friendship built around this sport they loved, grew into something more over the years. Chelsea and Daniel didn't begin dating until 2016, but by then they were in a completely different place in life than they were back on the Skyhawks team. Now graduated, they were both passionate about their careers as teachers and coaches (at separate schools in neighboring counties), and were ready to put some roots down, together. Daniel surprised Chelsea with the sweetest proposal on the beach at a family vacation, getting down on one knee in the sand and even having strangers take pictures for them. :) And of course, she said yes! 
I have only known this couple since last Fall, so there is a lot I don't know about them. However, when I looked around the cozy lodge during their reception, it was evident that these two have a big crowd cheering for them. There was always a line of people waiting to hug them, take a selfie with them, and congratulate them. I heard from more than one person how Chelsea and Daniel had impacted their lives or the lives of their children for the better-- children who had been taught or coached by the bride or groom. Throughout the day, you could tell that this couple was used to looking out for everyone around them, because they were always asking us how they could help or get us anything. I had to remind them that they didn't have to do anything for us-- this was their day! :) But it goes to show you how big their hearts are, and how they are always striving to serve those around them. 

Thanks so much, Chelsea & Daniel, for letting us be a part of your special day! We hope you love your pictures!

Morgan + Andrew, Wedding

It was the perfect Fall day for a wedding. The trees were dressed in orange and red leaves, the air was crisp, and though it had threatened to rain, the sprinkles stayed away for Morgan and Andrew's day. 
Some couples you meet you just know were meant to be together, and that is the case with these two. Maybe it is the way he makes her laugh, or the way she glances at him when he's not looking, maybe it's how at-ease they are around each other-- whatever the reason, when you see these two, even if you haven't known them long, it's obvious that they fit together like Autumn days and hot apple cider. :) I think everyone who came to that little church on a Friday night to see Morgan and Andrew become husband and wife knew this was a special thing not to be missed. They said I Do through happy tears surrounded by their closest friends and family, and celebrated the rest of the evening with lots of congratulations and warm well-wishes. It was the perfect Fall day that ended with lots of love, laughter, and a kiss under the stars. 

Thanks so much for letting us be a part of your day, Morgan and Andrew! And special thanks to Nicka Smith for being my wonderful assistant/second photographer.
