Blake and Kristine: Engaged

Love, love, LOVED this session! We had the hardest time choosing our favorites for the blog.

Blake and Kristine, you guys are awesome and you were amazing subjects: great clothing choices; a laid-back attitude and willingness to try anything questionable that we asked you to do (hehe); and a magnetic, epic love that is impossible to miss (especially when our camera lens is attracted to that sort of thing ;)

You are both so genuine; you let your real selves shine through to us. Thank you for opening yourselves up to us and our crazy ways. We’ve really enjoyed getting to know you and we hope you have the best wedding EVAH!

Jimmy and Sarah's Wedding

It was a gorgeous and amazing day, and a great wrap-up to 2008! Some of our favorite moments: being enveloped in the excited/nervous energy that flowed through the building before the ceremony; Sarah's face any time she looked at Jimmy or talked about him (SO sweet, and vice-versa); the video that announced the wedding party and told charming/funny tidbits about each bridesmaid or groomsman; the beautifully choreographed first dance; and the great things people said about Sarah and Jimmy during the toasts.

Congratulations, Jimmy and Sarah! We loved working with you guys. You both are really a great example of keeping God first in your relationship, which is the most important thing of all.

I love the way the light gleams on to Sarah’s face.

Peeking out to check on the girls. The excitement is one of the best things about the tradition of the bride and groom keeping hidden from each other before the “big moment”.
