a few weeks before their vow renewal, i met Kittie, Brian, and Hazel at Council Crest, the spot where Brian proposed. we had had to reschedule the original session due to rain so it wasn't the whole family (Hazel's big brother Noah was out of town), but we got some sweet photos of the three of them that i wanted to share. Kittie and i originally met through a babywearing group and i was thrilled that we got some action shots with Hazel in one of her beautiful woven wraps. 

my blog post of their vow renewal is coming up tomorrow! <3

a wedding is about love, above all. this is said often, but can never be said enough! family, friends, venue, decor, food, cake, music, dancing, speeches, the dresses, the suits, the jewelry - these things are icing. this one was no exception, it had the whole package! all on a beautiful sunny August afternoon, and with a super cute doggie ringbearer! but for me the highlight of this day was the first look - after spending the morning preparing for this moment, as soon as Erin saw Matt, she relaxed so completely. this is what it is all about - the two of you. your love, and the promise you make to each other to never forget that. take a deep breath, and soak it all in.

to say it's been a long time since i've blogged would be such an understatement! this was my busiest wedding season yet and though i loved every minute of it, i'm only now catching my breath! 

i am so excited to begin sharing the engagement sessions for my 2016 couples as well as all the weddings i've photographed this summer. first up is this summer engagement session featuring two sweet friends of mine, Daren and Vanessa. they are seriously awesome and their wedding is going to be a dream, i can't wait!

i am accepting a limited number of 2016 weddings, but i do still have a few dates left - feel free to contact me if you are looking for a photographer!

oh i am so excited for Nicole + Joe's wedding this fall - it is going to be so unique and full of personality, just like these two. i won't give any of their plans away, but it is going to be super rad. their engagement session was tons of fun - basically i got to hang out with them at powell's and geek out about books we love (they gave me tons of awesome additions to my book list). then we went over to the farmer's market and wandered around sampling treats and choosing the most amazing flowers. 

have a good weekend everyone!!

what a gorgeous evening this was! Matt & Megan are lots of fun and chose the most beautiful locations for their photos. I am so happy to *finally* share their engagement session - this blog has been sadly neglected as usual! wrapping up the last few engagement sessions before wedding season begins. lots more to share soon, as always.
