Jessica is that girl that I swear could make a friend out of anybody. Always described as bubbly, giggly, and fiercely loyal. She also got married this past Saturday! It was so gorgeous, and the weather was so perfect, such a blessing for her and her new husband, Brian. Those images will come in time, but for now, I am honored to be able to showcase just a few of the many incredibly beautiful bridal portraits I captured of her. Enjoy!
These guys... Goodness... I don't even know where to start. I met Christen in, I think either middle school or high school, I honestly cannot recall anymore! A fellow ginger and a wonderful lady, we maintained a friendship over the years, and I was honored when she asked me to photograph her wedding to Nels, an amazing man she'd met through work. Between the two of them, they made one gorgeous little girl, and I considered it an even higher honor that she asked me to chronicle her first year in the world!
I was so clear from the moment I came over when she was 2 weeks old that Amelia already had them both wrapped around her tiny little fingers. Daddy moreso, but still, she had completely stolen their hearts.
I was so thrilled that Christen and Nels wanted to do their session in their home, in the intimacy of their lifestyle. It's such a joy to capture true moments amidst the chaos of real life. The pups were very much on guard watching over Amelia that day, as well.
It's been so fun to watch Amelia grow up as the shoots have gone on! Just as giggly and happy as her parents!
I think we had a record for only one or two mini-meltdowns for the whole One-year series. this family just always seems to have it together!
As we reached her one year portrait session, Amelia's curiosity clearly has reached a high point, because she was everywhere! Instead of making her sit, and keeping her down, we decided to let her roam, and we just had to keep up with her!
I cannot wait to work with this family again, and am so honored to have friends like them to count on and spend time with!
Happy 1 year, Miss Amelia, you crazy fun little frosting monster!! You will, one day, realize how very much you are loved!
These two, oh my goodness! Up fans through and through. Brian proposed on a mountaintop to Jessica with an adventure book for them to fill, and had a mailbox made with their hand prints (and the hand prints of their kids!). When they told me they were keeping the trend going for their engagement portraits and their wedding, I could not have been more excited! Their love for each other fully shines through in their portraits and I am so looking forward to their Spring wedding!
I've known Morgan for many years, and when I heard she found love (and an upcoming marriage) with Adam, I was so happy for her. These two are a perfect match! Both Liberty University attendees, they will be returning to campus for part of their portraits for their November wedding (keep an eye out for those portraits coming later this year!!). I couldn't be more blessed that they chose me to photograph their big day, as well as this big day, when we all got up super early (and on a race day even!) to have a little fun! Oh, and CHECK OUT THAT GORGEOUS ROCK! (I'm such a sucker for sapphire!)
These two... oh my goodness. Beyond the usual love, these two are so fantastically gorgeous together! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this couple! When I first met Megan and Matt, they were excited and so ready for their wedding! Matt even used the engagement session as an opportunity to surprise Megan with her own DSLR at the end. Their love is generous, colorful, and never ending. Not only that, but Megan & Matt are a super fun, amazing couple who, as you can clearly see, are intensely in love with each other. I absolutely loved every single detail at their wedding, including their amazing bridal party! With such attention to detail, it’s no wonder everything looked so perfect!
