Heather + Austin / Embassy Suites Wedding

I remember about two years ago when I first met Heather & Austin during their engagement session. Their love was deep, pure and full of fun. Heather and I became pregnant around the same time last year so their wedding was pushed back a little so they could welcome their adorable son into the world. Fast forward to their wedding day with a little one and their love is JUST as amazing, if not even stronger as it was the day I met them. Can I also add how much my heart melted when Austin broke into tears watching his son and his new wife come down the aisle? (Sorry Austin!)

Beautiful wedding, beautiful family and beautiful love <3 What more could you ask for?! Congrats you two, thanks for letting me be part of your perfect day!

lauren + travis / pere marquette september wedding

Some may think that shooting weddings would get redundant, but I am telling you I LOVE every single wedding I am part of for all the little details and specials events that make that day unique to that specific couple. Take the Cripps wedding for instance, her dress was stunning, floral superb and Travis’s homemade card and thoughtful yet hilarious gifts to Lauren were just what she needed to laugh the nerves away. Then lets talk about Lauren’s step-dad who had my assistant and I even in tears during the first look, speech AND father daughter dance, now thats talent. You can tell he has been such an important and positive part of Lauren’s life and it was so great to see that shine through her day. Add an energetic and fun bridal party to this adorable couple and the day couldn’t have been more entertaining or memorable. Congrats to the new Mr & Mrs Cripps!
