kate & stephen are married!

By | Weddings | 2 Comments

kate is one of those people who immediately draws you in- she makes you feel like you’re in on something special together. her dry sense of humor and quick wit are often expressed in a quick glance or comment- look away and you might miss it. but if you miss these moments you’re missing out on knowing a beautiful, strong, clever woman. and stephen? he’s pretty great too. ;) his joking personality keeps kate in giggles separated by a few loving eyerolls, and his attention to the little details that make kate, kate, is indicative of his deep love for, and appreciation of, her. together they’re a blend of fun and funny, sweet and sarcastic, down to earth and classy- which makes for an awesome celebration. :) here are just a few of our favorite images from their wedding day:

such a sweet first look in the garden, i love these images matt made:

i mean, isn’t kate just STUNNING?

kate & stephen were married at the lovely primrose cottage:


kate & stephen, congratulations! we are so happy for you two. and thank you so so much for having us there to capture all of the little moments, what a beautiful day it was!

ashley & josh are married!

By | Weddings | One Comment

just 11 days ago, while frolicking (carefully taking small steps) in the snow with my tiny babe, i couldn’t help worrying about ashley. her wedding was just a couple of days away and i assumed the inclement weather, the blocked interstates and the cancelled flights were heightening her pre-wedding anxiety. i LOVE winter weddings- the nest of bare branches against the occasional rich evergreen, the glittery sunlight refracting off an isolated water droplet as it hesitates to fall or freeze- i could go on. and yet, we’ve never heard of a wedding being cancelled due to heat- but ice? it happens. as i reflected on the stress i would feel in ashley’s place i also knew this: if anyone can handle a bit of ice before her wedding day, it’s ashley. she’s just one of those people- talented yet practical, organized yet flexible, aware yet optimistic. i can’t say i know many people like her. josh, the other half of this sweet couple, is her perfect match. his awareness, kindness and attentiveness to ashley and others is beautiful to see. together they really do become an unstoppable team. i understand that that is a little cheesy (you don’t immediately lose perspective on real life when working in the wedding industry- contrary to popular belief;) but i challenge you to spend a day with these two and not feel inspired, empowered and blessed to know them. the morning of their wedding, as the last of the ice melted in the deepest shadows, the air turned surprisingly warm and we joined ashley and josh for an awesome celebration of their love and the start of their new life together. what a beautiful, beautiful day. cheers to these two. :)

a few years ago, matt & i planted three evergreens in a row in our back yard- i cannot even wait until we have a stunning wall of greenery year round like this. doesn’t it look so luxurious and furry and soft?? maybe i just love green trees in the winter. or maybe ashley & josh just make everything look fantastic. it’s actually probably the latter…oh, these two:


ashley & josh, congratulations! we are so happy for you guys and we’re thrilled we were able to spend the day with you- capturing all of the sweet moments. you guys are the best. :)
