What a beautiful, intimate wedding this was at the Church By The Side Of The Road. We met Jason and Rachel over a year ago and they are such an easy-going couple, which worked out realllllly well considering we had to take a couple detours!

Oh Chad and Sarah.
Once a year, it seems that the universe feels I need a gentle reminder of how fortunate I am to have air conditioning. Chad and Sarah's wedding was that day. Holy hotness. Fortunately, photographers are used to being the only rough-looking, sweaty, basically dressed people in a sea of gorgeous wedding guests - but I felt pretty bad for the bridal party in their heavy suits and dresses. Thanks again to all of you for being such troopers during pictures!

I'm way behind on blogging this beautiful engagement at Sinnissippi Gardens - but that's the way of wedding season!

I always love to see people I know end up all happily ever after. Pffft. That was mushy, sorry. After doing this engagement session, we can't wait for August! Such a laid back, fun, and hilarious couple. And those eyes just don't quit. #jelly

This lovely bride, Michele, had a gorgeous outdoor ceremony planned at Klehm Arboretum and all the way up until the morning of the event, the weather predicted thunderstorms. There was panicking involved on all accounts. Probably me more than her.
