weddings...family...traditions...celebrations...marriage...and these two lovely people.

I have been waiting my whole life to post this wedding:)  Here are a few fun group shots and as always more to come...And I love you Molly & Sam.

Here is one of my very first Album Designs with our new templates.  My beautiful husband designed it and I am so thrilled.  And of course this wedding was unbelievable and will make any album look fantastic!  I have been waiting on Album Samples to show my future clients...and I am still waiting...but until then here is an idea of the Classic Wedding Album Design.  Thank You all for always taking a look at my work.  You guys make me happy :)

just a little taste...more to come from these two lovely people.

Yay for sweet baby Caroline!  (the sweet little munchkin inside Valori's belly)...And Yay for such a sweet couple and one beautiful momma! Valori is seriously so pretty.  She had the most perfect baby bump, beautiful eyes, and pretty on the inside too (which is always the best). Jesse and Valori, congratulations and I'm so glad we made it in time for these pictures :)  

Hope you all enjoy this post and this sweet wedding.  I loved this wedding for so many reasons...I loved how simple, beautiful, jam-packed with family, just really lovely this home wedding was.  Congrats to Kaitie and Alan and to the whole family...it was a true joy and blessing to be a part of this very special day.  

How perfect are these two?  I love 'em to pieces.  Thank You Alyssa for always letting me have the privilege of taking your boys pictures.

The Before Shots

The Reception.  And I love this picture...I know it's a little out of focus...but how perfect is this moment and Melisa's very pretty laugh...

I truly love these two people and all of their "people" as well.  I have taken pictures for this family on so many different occasions.  Adrienne's graduation and then her wedding.  Amanda's wedding and fun belly bump pictures.  Aaron's Graduation.  Andy's Graduation.  Baby bump pictures of sweet Eden...(and I hope I'm not leaving any other Ingalls'/Kauffman/Taylor clan out:)...And now the newly married Mr. and Mrs. Taylor.  So fun.  Every moment with this family is real, extremly special, and SUPER fun!  I love you guys.

...makes me smile...and especially THIS family makes me smile even bigger!  I love Marme & Poppe & all of these little munchkins.   

I love these people!  Melisa is one of my girls from back in the day "small group" at church, and I love her.  I love everything about Melisa...her heart and realness...she's infectious to be around.  And I remember praying with my girls and especially praying with Melisa for "The One".  And...so here we have Mr. Nichols...and He is with out a doubt the best, most perfect fit for Melisa.  Aric and I were looking over their pictures and we both just kept saying, "I love Stephen..." I am so happy to of been a part, they had the sweetest ceremony, best vows ever written, and a beautiful place.  Great wedding and great couple!...And I cried a lot...because it was just so special and I could not of been any happier for Melisa and Stephen!  Love you both with all my heart! 

I love Michael, Brooke, and Baby Titus.  These two have been my friends for a long time, and I am so excited to meet their little man.  I snapped this super fast at Annie's wedding, and I am so glad I did. Look at the sun setting and this moment...God is SO VERY GOOD...For this beautiful scenery, for this very Strong Mama and Daddy, and for this little miracle named Titus.

Meet Annie and Blake...

And their fun wedding party...

And their beautiful outdoor, cozy, quaint, wildflower fielded, and oh so lovely wedding...

How beautiful is Annie?  She is a natural beauty.  And most important she is that pretty on the inside as well.  I loved this wedding and I love Annie and her family.  We are all hometown friends...from the very cool little town of Dayton.  And I was so honored and so thrilled Annie asked Aric and I to be a part.  There is more to come from this sweet wedding...

Some of my Final Favs from this gorgeous wedding and couple.
