the wallis family.

this family. we LOVE them!

we’ve had the AMAZING honor of photographing some pretty fun and special moments in their lives. this one is no different! we met up with these wonderful souls in the woods they were married in to photograph them in front of the tree they planted during their wedding ceremony. we love that they do this every year for their anniversary…such a wonderful tradition!

this year was extra special, since betsy is pregnant and due this winter! we can’t wait to meet the newest member of their family…we know that miss mirabelle is going to be such a lovely big sister!

the jenkins family.

we met up with the jenkins family and had the BEST time! since seeing these guys last, they’ve added a new member to their family…baby will. 🙂

the images of them on that turquoise wall are our favorites!

i’ve said it before, but being able to see families grow and laugh is really just awesome.

lots of love to you guys.

🙂

p.s. also, homer says “hello” to wrigley.

p.s.s. wrigley is the jenkins’ dog, he and homer are good friends and both have metal plates and screws in one back leg each, thanks to torn CCL’s. big, active, goofy dogs are just the greatest. 🙂

kayla & matt. the wedding.

kayla & matt tied the knot, had a BIG PARTY and danced the night away!

these two picked the perfect day to celebrate their love.

they opted for a first look, which you know we LOVE photographing, and we had such a great time photographing them with their bridal party & friends!

good music, happy people, yummy food and a sparkler send-off, it doesn’t get much better than that!

congrats again to kayla & matt…we wish you guys love & happiness!

here are a few of our favorites from their FUN day!

YAY!

🙂

how fun is kayla? she was smiling and laughing the entire day. 🙂

their rings. matt surprised kayla with a ring for her right hand…it’s the bottom left one…oh my GOSH, it’s SO PRETTY. what a lovely surprise!

meanwhile, the guys getting all dapper.

kayla also did a first look with her dad…we’ve had a few this year, both robbie and i are fans of this. it’s such a cool & special moment to witness.

and then it was time for kayla & matt to see each other!!

🙂

kayla & matt both looked SO phenomenal on their wedding day!!

kayla’s one request for portraits? “can you get matt and his guys looking all cool?”

moments before the ceremony started! she’s still got a HUGE smile on her face!! 🙂

uh, this little man, he was the cutest. he’s matt’s nephew. don’t let that face fool you though, he was a HAM and was cracking guests up all night long!

mr. & mrs. 🙂
