They are amazing.  I got to meet Laura and David for the first time and they too are a awesome couple.  It was alot of fun.  Cathy your family is awesome.  I had a great time with them.  Enjoy your blog teaser and we can’t wait to share the rest of the photos with you.

Meet the family.

 

David and Laura.  They are pretty rad if I do say so myself.

Its pretty awesome.  The trees, the open natural area.  Its pretty rad if you ask me.  We walked all around the area with them and had a amazing time with them.  They both are so in love with each other and love being with each other its contagious.  Joseph & Christina, we so so sooooooo had a amazing time with you both.  Enjoy your blog teaser and we can’t wait to share the rest with you.

 

Meet Joseph & Christina!

 

LOVE THIS!!!

Ok so we can’t take credit for this idea.  My buddy down south Adam George of Embrace life Photography, had done something like this and Joseph & Christina saw it and wanted to do the same thing, so we did.

Love these next few.

 

OMG!!!

 

 

Seriously they are so adorable!!

 

One of my favorite shots of the session.  They read the bible together alot and it just was a great way to capture who they are as a couple.  I LOVE IT!!!!

Our good friends Zach & Anne have a brand new baby in their household and we couldn’t be more excited for them.  They have been trying to adopt for the past 2 years.  The journey for them wasn’t smooth.  They had had many bumps along this journey, and been matched with 7 birth moms, for something to not work out.  I can’t imagine the roller-coaster ride they have been through emotionally and mentally.  And yet through all this they have remained faithful and dedicated to both the process and each other.  You can read their story about it on their family blog.  Regardless of all the trials and tribulations, God works in mysterious ways and now has blessed them with a beautiful baby girl named Providence.  Zach and Anne-  Jen and I are so so happy for you both!!!  Jen broke down in tears when she heard the good news that you were bringing Providence home with you!!!  Your new baby girl is so adorable and sweet.  Enjoy your blog teaser and we can’t wait to share the rest with you both.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love this shot!!

Ohhh Hello!!  :)

And once again love this shot of Zach calming down Providence.

The light out there was so beautiful!!!  OMG!!

Like I said………..BEAUTIFUL!!

LOVE.IT!!

 

They are so dang cute together.

and they like to kiss can you tell??  ;)

 

One of my favorite shots that Jen captured.

Chris looking awesome!!

Holly looking beautiful!

 

The details were super simple and cool.  They collect Ceramic pigs so of course they had to have them in the wedding.

The guys!

The ladies

I love this shot jen captured of Holly watching as guests start to show up.

LOVE THIS SHOT!!!

I love when everyone cries at the ceremony!

 

 

This was clever.  In order to get the rings out the groomsmen planned to have the rings within 3 different cases and the last one had to be opened with a key one of the friends had in the seats.  It was pretty funny and awesome!

 

Super fun wedding party!!

 

I love this shot of them laughing together after the ceremony!

OMG!!!

 

The dances with Chris’s mom and Holly’s dad were amazing!

LOVE.THIS.

 

 

 

BEAUTIFUL!!!!
