Sarah & Chris’ Wedding

It’s been a unique year for us, having the opportunity to photograph a number of friends and family’s weddings. Sarah & Chris are part of this group, and having the privilege to capture their wedding and their love, is simply an honor. We are so completely happy for our friend and her new husband. The connection they have is obvious, and their happiness and contentment in their life shows on every expression.

I LOVE these pictures, more than anything because my friend is so happy in them.

Congratulations Sarah and Chris! Your wedding was so beautiful and special…thank you SO MUCH for asking us to be a part of this.

Being together, up until we were married we lived 1.5 hours apart, it will be nice to explore that constant presence of a best friend and try living in the same city:)

Samantha & Chance’s Reception

It was such an honor to shoot Samantha & Chance’s second reception. They got married a couple of months ago in California where Samantha is from but a lot of their friends and family of Chance’s couldn’t make it. Chance’s parents threw them a second reception and really went all out…this was such a beautiful reception! I had a few minutes before it started to get a few shots of the newlyweds and enjoyed having a little time with them.

Congratulations to Samantha & Chance…thank you for letting us be a part of this special occasion.
