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 […]

Caitlin and I grew up together, we actually were very close friends in middle school. (And yes saying that does make me feel old since I’m sitting here writing her wedding blog!)  She became a part of our family, coming over for dinner and her favorite dessert and coming to church with us most Sundays.  […]

This wedding held extra importance to me as Ali is my cousin, and I was beyond excited to be a part of it.  I was able to be there Friday as they decorated for the reception so I knew it was bound to be beautiful, but it was beyond beautiful.  The centerpieces and details were […]

When Stephanie first messaged us about photographing their wedding she told us about the significance of the date they picked and we knew instantly it was a love story we couldn’t wait to be a part of.  It was Sam and Stephanie’s 8 year anniversary and Sam’s grandparents’ wedding anniversary!  To top it all off […]
