Kris & Renee :: Wedding

Seattle, baby!

That is one place I would love to go. I'm sure I'll make it out there one day, but until then, I'll just live vicarioiusly through friend's who travel or move there.

Speaking of moving there, that is exactly what my friend, Renee, just did.

If you remember the lovely yogini, Renee, who I used to practice with... well her and her beau, Kris, decided to share a small, intimate ceremony with a few friends and family a couple months back. It was such an honor to be apart of it and what a sweet ceremony it was... full of love, smiles, and lots of laughter. She even wore her grandmother's original wedding dress. I could not believe it... everything was special and meaningful to them and suited their personalities so great!

But then, the next day, she picked up her life her and moved all the way across country to Seattle. She's such brave and spontaneous soul... I think that's why I love her so much!

Congratulations you two... I am so glad I got to be a part of such a monumental point in your lives. I wish you NOTHING, but the best!

XOXOXO!

Brandon & Diana :: Engagements

Who doesn't love a good fireman?

I know I sure do. I grew up with both my aunt and uncle being fire fighters, and we would have so much fun going to visit their fire station. We would do the usual, try on the boots, jacket, hat... so fun! The best part, by far, was sliding down the pole. What a rush! I wonder if that's how the actual fire fighters feel whenever they go for a run. I should really ask my father-in-law, since he was a fireman for years down in Highland Park.

But I find now a days, I don't come across many fire fighters. I guess I don't know very many who are still in that profession or just don't run around in that crowd. Well... until just recently, when I met up with Brandon and Diana for a fun engagement session.

Brandon is actually a fireman down in Ohio and he's so young! You don't find many firemen out there, let alone so young... what a brave soul he is and what sweet souls both Diana & Brandon have. Both of them were so calm, laid back, and SO down to earth. They were extremely kind hearted and EXTREMELY loving towards each other! That's the best! You can just tell how head over heels they are for one another. Makes me love my job even more. I had so much fun chatting with them and getting to know them as they are so fun to be around. I'm so excited for their wedding here in a few months. What a fun day it is going to be and if it's anything like this weather, by then it might be 60 degrees. Wooo!

So excited... Congrads you two!

Matt & Caitlin :: Engagements

I love a good love story...

I guess that's why I love weddings so much. I mean LOVE weddings... with CAPS LOCK on! Ha!

LOVE makes me smile and laugh and get butterflies all in my tummy... LOVE could seriously make this world such a better place!

I guess posting fun LOVE sessions, as I should call them, is doing my part by making this world a better place... maybe?! I'll go ahead and tell myself that.

Two of those people that are truly in love and is so evident is Matt & Caitlen!

I tell you what... When I started taking photos of them, the way they looked at each other gave me those smiles, laughs, and butterflies. They have SO much fun together and you can tell that even after sooooo many years being together, they are still head over heels in LOVE! I couldn't tell you how much fun it was to hang out with this couple.

Congratulations and we are SOOO stinkin' excited for your wedding here in just a few months!

Dave & Charlene :: Engagements

Haven't you always wondered what it would be like to fly a plane?

I remember when I was little my dad, who used to take flying lessons, took me to this small airport in Kokomo and a guy he knew out there let me go for a ride. I don't remember all the exact details of how exactly I was able to go up in a small plane with just this "strange" man, but I was. It was pretty neat! This "guy" even let me take the wheel for a few seconds. I thought I was so cool! Haha!

Two people who do this every day for FedEx that actually are really cool are Dave & Charlene.

Dave is an engineer for the planes and Charlene is a pilot. A-Mazing! Not only are they extremely smart, but both of them are extremely fun and beautiful people. I thought it was really neat how I did their session on a Monday early afternoon because of their flexible schedules, and mine, and we had a great time exploring the Henry Ford Museum, where they will be married this coming September. What a great couple they are and I had such a great time getting to know them much better, sharing some laughs, and catching their sweet personalities towards each other... so beautiful!

Congratulations you two... we are so excited for the BIG day!!!

Here are just a few of my favorites from our session...

Lovely Couple, eh?!!



So much in LOVE!



Mmm... so great...



XOXO!





Love those cars in the background... too bad you can't get closer!



Charlene saw a ring similar to this and Dave decided to design one like it for her... such a good listener ;)



LOVE THIS...
