Happy Tuesday!!! Also, for all of you mamas & dads out there – happy back to school day! I dropped by oldest baby off at Kindergarten today! How is this possible? How do I have a kid old enough to be in SCHOOL!? I’ll be honest with you…I don’t think I’m totally okay with it. She was ready though! I know she will do great! Okay – enough about that! I am sure Hayley will have a post all for herself soon. Today, I want you to meet Zack & Sarah! I met them both a few months ago at Zack’s sister’s wedding. I remember talking to Zack during the reception and he was telling me how he was going to propose soon. Of course I told him that he knew who to call when he needed a wedding photographer! Well, sure enough, his sister called me to tell me Zack & Sarah were getting married & could I be there. I said ABSOLUTELY!

It has been a WEEK with no blog post here – I am so sorry!! I have had LOTS of bridal portrait sessions the past few weeks so I can’t share any of those pictures. Such a bummer for you, but they will be up soon enough. My fall wedding season kicks off THIS Saturday and I can not wait!! My brides are amazing women…every single one of them. I love hearing them tell me new details they have added to their day, the things they are most excited about, little secrets they have planned, the delicious cake flavor they chose, or ANYTHING else. I love being one of the people they text about new ideas or email pictures to when they want to change something up. The wedding day is always amazing! All of that planning leads to a beautiful day filled with joy, love, laughter, and so much more. But it is also sad because it means I say goodbye to my bride. I sound so sappy, I know!! Okay, okay…that’s enough! I just love my girls!

Engagement sessions are so fun for me! Usually it is the only time I meet and talk with the groom before a wedding. I see the bride a few times and talk with her through email a lot, but the groom is usually not a part of all of that. I love hearing the groom’s side of things though! I want to hear him say how his bride caught his eye or how he planned out the proposal. The men always tell the story a little differently. Also, it’s just sweet to see them light up when talking about the girl they love!
