Wendy & Josh - *Engaged*

Wendy called me about her upcoming wedding after being referred to me by a woman from our church.  We met at her parents house a couple weeks ago on a Thursday evening for their engagement pictures.  (Engagement photos are included in the standard wedding package price, by the way.)  Wendy and Josh are both great.  They have an awesome sense of humor, and we laughed for most of the hour I was there.  I felt like I had known them for a long time as soon as I met them.  Maybe it was the many emails we sent back and forth before finally meeting for pictures.

Here are my favorites:

I had a great time getting to know you both, and I can't wait for July 28th!

Jen and Rob - Family/Engagement

I have known Jen since high school and we reconnected on Facebook a couple years ago.  I love Facebook for that very reason!  Her son, Nick, is my sons age, and he is one of the most adorable boys in the world.  (Next to my son, of course.  ;)  Anyway, I was thrilled when Jen messaged me about photographing her September 8th wedding.  We were trying to plan out their engagement session when the flood hit.  Jen and Rob were some of the unlucky families whose house got hit, and because of that they lost so many photographs.  That was when we decided to do an engagement/family session.

I met them at Waverly Glen on a freezing morning in November.  It warmed up, and the light was beautiful, and until it got warm they were all troopers.  Rob also brought two of his sons (and their significant others) and his daughter from his first marriage.  I have known his daughter Ari for years, when her and my baby sister became friends.

It was great meeting up with you guys, and I am looking forward to September 8th!

 

Engagement/Famiily Session - *Misty & Mike*

Misty and I have known each other for five years and when she called me last May to tell me that Mike had popped the question I was so excited for her.  He's a great guy who makes her happy and treats her well, and that's what she deserves.  Obviously I offered to take engagement and family photos for them, but it took seven months for us to finally coordinate a date.  It was worth the wait, though, because the colors were ah-mazing!

LOVE this

Misty's gorgeous kids, Casey and Kelley.  Casey is my daughters best friend, and Kelley was born only a couple days after Julia.  We joke that they will get married someday.

The ring!

 Mike's son, Dylan

I love the lighting in this one.  Gorgeous!

Mike and his daughter, Ashley.  They're going to have to lock their doors in a few years.  ;)

Aren't they  just the cutest thing in the world???

Ashley and Dylan - gorgeous kids

What a beautiful family

Love this one of Misty and Casey

Looking forward to their wedding on July 21st.  Even if I'm in the wedding and not the photographer.  ;)  I love you guys!
