I have so many favorites about their […]

If you have ever met Regan then you know he doesn’t know a stranger, he’s the guy that’s friends with everyone.  Add Karlee’s friends and very large extended family and you have one VERY loved couple. I don’t know if I’ve ever been to a wedding as big as theirs. It was so neat to […]

Ashley & Colton had a beautiful June evening for their session.  We met up at Weinberg King State Park and the light was to die for! Colton was actually one of our first senior sessions when we started doing photography full time, so it was fun to reconnect with him and think about much our […]

The forecast for the week leading up to Jordan and Emily’s wedding wasn’t looking good for the beautiful outdoor photos they both dreamed of.  It was calling for 100% chance of rain and it wasn’t changing.  I’d talked to Jordan that week and told him that I still had hope – the weather can always […]

Casie and Mark were our first wedding of 2017, and let us say it was a great start. They had the most gorgeous spring day! They had a small intimate ceremony at a church in Plymouth but the real celebration took place after that at Casie’s family farm. Her dad spent the last 6 months […]
