Laura and Terry have SUCH a neat story, they met in London while both there for graduate school. Their friends encouraged them to meet as they were both Americans and had both been in the Peace Corps. Before the day of their wedding, I sent them a questionnaire so I could get to know them better and  I LOVED hearing all their answers! One that stuck out to me (and there were many, this was hard to choose!) was I asked them what they think will be unique about their wedding. Their response was “We have amazing friends and family who have really come together to help put everything into place. They’ve helped with the invites (handmade), dress, veil, jewelry, organization, music, home-brewed beers, hair-dos, and flowers. We will definitely appreciate having their efforts showcased, as I think they will too.” There are many things that can tell you about the heart of someone but that really sums it up. The love they have for each other and the love they have for their family and friends is amazing and I can only imagine just how special this couple is to all their family and friends and all the lives they’ve touched.

I love capturing the love and spirit of a special day like this and I can’t wait for Laura and Terry to see all their beautiful portraits. Congratulations Laura and Terry!!

A little over a year ago when I first met Stephanie and Tyler, I sent them a fun little questionnaire so I could get to know them better. A few things that really stick out in my mind about the two of them are their responses to a few questions. The first was “What makes you unique as a couple,” to which they responded “We are a Christian couple, and both have a very solid faith which is what grounds us and unites us, despite our differing personalities and traits.” The second was “What is the most important thing to you about your wedding day,” to which they responded “…the significance of the “two becoming one flesh” and to celebrate our marriage and love that will last a lifetime.” Witnessing their wedding, it was abundantly clear to me just how true both of these statements are and I am beyond honored to have been able to capture this spectacular moment in their life together.

Stephanie and Tyler, thank you for asking me to be your wedding photographer, I hope you enjoy these portraits for many years to come!!
