Even on an afternoon without sunlight's warm glow, a love that is sweet and true will brighten any day.
I loved every minute of Katie + Erik's engagement session. You will quickly notice in the photos that Erik + Katie love to laugh and enjoy each others company. It was a joy to witness their love and their laughter and I hope you can absorb a little bit of that joy on your Friday by looking at these images.

Chase + Holly are engaged and I couldn't be more excited! Chase is my brother-in-law (If you know my husband, Andrew, you might see the resemblance) so that means I am gaining another sister in law and I am so happy that it is Holly! It meant the world to me to photograph their engagement session. Their dog, Zeus the giant Great Dane, even made an appearance on the day of their session... he is the cutest and was all about getting his picture taken. Chase + Holly really are meant for each other and it has shown over the last few years. I can't wait for their wedding next September (I even get to be a guest at a wedding.. yay)!

This wedding is total eye candy all the way around. Chelsea + Brad are a beautiful couple and Chelsea had her wedding designed to a T. She had some of my favorite vendors making this day beyond beautiful. Chelsea's Renee Austin dress was to die for and Chelsea made it look even better when she put it on. Both Chelsea and Brad's families own orchards, so it only made sense for us to do their wedding photos at Brad's family orchard; it made for the perfect backdrop for Chelsea's beautiful floral arrangements and the bridal parties outfits. I didn't think the wedding could get any better, but then three of my past couples were attending the wedding (and several in the bridal party). My favorite part about my "job" is meeting new people and creating new friendships so it was so fun to see them all (you might recognize them in the pictures). Oh... another favorite... wait till you see Chelsea + Brad's dessert bar (spoiler: there were donuts)! Congratulations to the new Mr. + Mrs. VanDyke!
