Mr. & Mrs. Marken

We met Katie a couple months ago when we were shooting her sister's wedding. Now it was her turn and we were so happy that they called us. Brandon and Katie got married at this AMAZING house/log cabin out in the country called The River Birch Lodge. Although the weather was extremely hot that day, it was nothing but a gorgeous wedding! It was sweet and intimate with just close friends and family. We had a great time, and it was so good to see Dale and Amber, who were took photos of at their wedding in January.

Congrads Brandon and Katie! Enjoy your new life together! We wish you all the best!

Just a gorgeous place...









Their flowers were done by family... so gorgeous



Even Brandon looked handsome



Katie wore her grandma's jewelry, I thought that was so special



She actually used to model. Can you tell... just a natural at it





He was so excited to see her





But had a bit of some trouble getting his ring on... haha!



Haha... in the mouth it went. He finally got it on though, but I'm not sure it will ever come off.





What a great view...



I have to give credit to Todd, my husband/amazing assistant for this shot... love it!









Katie chose a very unique stone which was so cool... I love pink!



Lovely ladies...



And gents...



Gotta have some old looking photo's huh?

Indiana again...

I can't believe how the time passes these days... I wish I could just freeze time because it seems it's going by way to quick.

I was in Indiana this past week for a photo thing which was A-Mazing to hear. I learned a ton and it was well worth the trip, even if it has caused me to be slightly behind on some things. I love learning new things and it gets me so fired up about my business and more importantly my love for taking photos. I keep thinking how blessed I am that I am able to do it full time now, and how crazy it would have been this summer if I was working somewhere else plus doing it! Whooo... that would have been a bit rough. I feel like sometimes that's all I want to do... just take photos non stop, seriously..like 24/7. I dream about it all the time and also dream of new photo "things"... hold on a sec I have to wipe my mouth because I'm drooling just thinking about new photo "things". Ok, come back to reality, Abby, it takes time, which from above I want to just freeze it, so that's not really getting me anywhere... haha!

But not only was I able to learn some great info... I was able to see my family and my little sugar muffin. She's getting so big, and I can't believe she's over a month old. She's starting to fill in as you can see in some of the photos her chin has doubled. Haha! I think it's because she doesn't have much of a neck right now. Poor girl! She is still so precious! I definitely enjoyed the baby time I had because there is absolutely no one around us that has babies here in Michigan... so it's a good change to be around them. I just know the next time I see her she's going to be even more big and going to be doing so much. I'm excited to see her grow and get more personality. I have to say that my sister is an excellent mom. She's doing so well with everything even if she's extremely tired... she's so patient and so loving. I love her so much!

Well now that I'm home and have time expect recent updates...have a great week!

Look at that double chin...







She FINALLY fell asleep, it seemed like everytime we tried to do photos she was awake... haha!

Traveling is almost over...

I'm so excited for this weekend to be over... is that really coming out of my mouth? Ha! I've been away all week for a photo engagement and I just got home yesterday. Now we have to turn around and head to Columbus, OH for one of our good friend's wedding. Todd is in the wedding for a change, so it should be a lot of fun. I'm so sorry if I'm really behind, but this next week I have so much to share like this for instance....



and this cutie-patooti...



We'll be back on Monday and I'll be home for good for a while! Have a great weekend everyone!

P.S. I'm NOW on twitter You can check out what I'm up to even more... haha!

Mr. & Mrs. Daley

I was so excited for this wedding because I had such a great time with their engagements, that I knew their wedding was going to be wonderful... and it was!

Joe & Sarah are THEE sweetest couple, which I already bragged about them during their first photo session, but they were so positive and encouraging to each other and to everyone around them. They have such kind hearts and a personality that just draws you to them. I can totally see where they get it from since both sides of their families are amazing people as well. It makes what I do SO worth it working with people like Joe and Sarah. They coolest thing is.. is that I was able to capture it all through my photos, and they speak so loud. It was so wonderful shooting this wedding and it was one of my favorites of the year...

Congratulations and Thank you guys for making it such a great time! We hope you enjoy your new home in Virginia! Best wishes to you both!
