{ austin & kayla }

this almost did not happen... these two almost where not apart of the circle... technically we where full... i had said no when my husband told me their date ... then a fellow vendor came to me and dragged me across a bridal show, " JUST MEET THEM !'

it was instant love.   these two just radiate joy and love.  love that was found after austin survived cancer ... love that was found in the most unlikely place - in the middle of PIGS! 

i cannot wait to capture this wedding come fall... 

{mike & amanda}

at every wedding there are certain words said... 

"in sickness and in health... " 

 few of us truly know what they mean before we get married, 

but these two know what it means all too well. 

while dating amanda heard the word no one should ever have to : cancer. 

together they fought.   together they won

together they will keep winning... 

{amy & nick}

 

it seems like yesterday amy was one of my campers.  i can hardly believe she is getting married!   i'll admit when i first heard of nick i said, "is is worthy of you?!" 

happy to say that once i met him it was clear ... he loves her and treats her just like she deserves.  it brings tears to my eyes to see her so loved.

 

i feel so honored to be capturing their day and cannot wait to see them grow together! 

 as you can see they make each other smile - a lot!

 

to see more of these two lovebirds go here!

{chrissy & seth} engagement

 

 

when it came to winning her heart seth knew the person to talk to... chrissy's mom.   he sat next to her in choir and won her over long before he ever stole her daughter's heart.

 

he asked for coffee... and she turned him down.   he gave her a raincheck and 8 months later she gave him a chance.  unfortudently seth was far away serving in the military, so they began to talk ... text... and slowly get to know each other.   just when seth was set to come back a hurricane hit and he stayed to help... more hours on the phone let chrissy know that he was it even before he returned to take her for that coffee.... ironically they still have not gone on a offical coffee date.

 

i cannot wait to capture these two making it offical in june!

 

SWEETEST story about this ring... seth had been saving for it since high school... be because he knew that one day God would bring him the one.  

{alex & jess} engagement.

it was years in the making.   high school sweethearts... whose faces light up when they tell their story.  my favorite part is the engagement... in the OCEAN! 

 i asked alex, "did you use a fake to propose with?  you where swimming in the ocean after all." 

"no...."

jess and i both laugh.  luckily the ring made it safely to her finger... where it will stay forever.

so excited for this fall wedding!  

for more of these two go HERE!
