sarah + tom : engagement

Sarah and Tom were together, in GR, during the holidays (Tom now lives just outside of Las Vegas!) so we thought this would be the perfect time to work in some engagement pictures! We all braved the cold, wet conditions to capture a few great shots downtown. I think in some of these Tom is wishing he was back out West, not freezing! :) Thank you both for being great sports. Happy New Year! I am so looking forward to the year of your wedding!! :)

And so ends a wonderful year, 2011!

This has been an amazing year, filled with so much love, happiness, new faces, places, and friendships! Thank you all so very much from the bottom of my heart for your support! I can honestly say I love my job and it is because of every one of you. YOU are what makes the moments worth capturing! Heres to an amazing 2011...and looking forward to an even more amazing 2012! Happy, happy New Year! :)

nick + lisa :: married.

Lisa and Nick were married Thanksgiving weekend. It was the perfect way to start off the holiday season; celebrating the love they share for each other(and to end the wedding seasojn of 2011 for me)! It was such an honor to be a part of their day.

I knew Lisa a little bit back when we were in College at Alma, and met with Lisa and Nick together only weeks before the big day. I knew a little then, and was more sure than ever after sharing their wedding day with them, how truly special they both are as people and as a couple. It fills my heart so much to see two people so in love and so in tune with one another. I wish you both nothing but happiness and everything you wish for! Hope you enjoy this first holiday season as a married couple. Congratulations!

Since Lisa and Nick were unable to have engagement photos, we decided it would be great to have some memories of the rehearsal captured! Here are a few to start things off...




calmest bride. ever.:)












I love the way they look at each other. You will see more of this look further down in this post. <3

And now on to the Wedding Day!!


Flower delivery...










I believe Lisa had these straps made for the dress. Absolutely perfect and beautiful!


















Lisa-you have the most beautiful, contagious smile!










We were able to get just a few pictures outside. It was such a cold, rainy afternoon/evening! Thank you, Ladies for being such troopers!














NO outdoors for the boys. We had to improvise. :)












I loved the tree...








































A budding photographer? I wonder if he is free for the 2012 wedding season?
































We made a stop before the reception at a really cool place!
