We were really worried the rain was going to make us have to reschedule Ryan & Kimberly’s engagement session but it held off just long enough.  We had beautiful sun and it wasn’t until the last 15 minutes of the session that it started to cloud up and look like rain.  They met us in […]

Blake and Cassie were married at one of our favorite venues, Lake Hill Winery.   Everything about this wedding was beautiful. There were chances of rain that day but we didn’t get more than a couple drops of rain! It all went around Carthage, and we were able to be outside all day.  Though Cassie […]
