Saturday was amazing and we loved every second of it!!!  Ryan & Brooke have such a sweet love story!  It reminded Anthony & I of our own in a way – best friends turned husband & wife.  Brooke and Ryan became friends when Brooke was around 13.  She said that she told her mom all the way back then that she would marry Ryan one day.  They both stayed best friends throughout their school years and they were always there for one another through anything and everything.  Ryan was her person long before they realized it.  

There is something so precious about that first pregnancy.  That time together as just husband and wife, waiting to meet your little miracle but still cherishing those days as just the two of you.  I can barely remember it, but I know it’s special!  Briana & Randy have been married for almost 5 years and are so ready to meet their precious baby boy, Jaxon, this July!

Almost a year ago, I met Chad and Lynsey for some coffee to talk all about their special day!  I can’t believe that was so long ago and that they are already married!!!  One thing we all knew was very important to them was making this about the two of them but also making it very much about family.  This marriage meant they were becoming husband and wife, but it was also about bringing them together as a family of three – Chad, Lynsey, & Aidan (Lynsey’s son).  

This past weekend was a woodland fairytale wedding!!  Mary Claire & Brandon had such gorgeous day!  The weather was beautiful and the company was even better!  I hadn’t seen this couple since their fall engagement session and I couldn’t wait for them to get married.  They have known for years that this day would happen and both of them were filled with so much excitement!

Virginia has been super confused about the seasons lately, but we finally had amazing weather this past weekend!!  Still a little on the chilly side, but the sun was shining and we were not complaining!!  I got to meet up with Cory & Stephanie at Stephanie’s family farm to take their engagement photos and it was perfect!  As soon as I turned on that gravel driveway, I knew these were going to be my kind of people!

We’re back!!!  Wedding season has officially begun and we could not have had a better couple to kick it off with!  At the beginning of the day, I was told there would be a lot of happy tears and every one was right!  From the first look to the sparkler exit, tears of joy were flowing!  Everyone was so excited that Anna & Joey’s wedding day had finally arrived.  

Last week, I got to meet a beautiful little girl who was only 5 days new!!  Miss Lillian was just so sweet & sleepy.  She could not have cared less about us moving her around, wrapping her up, unwrapping her, or anything else.  We were laughing at how chill she was!!  Having 2 kids of my own, my main advice is to soak that time up because it will change…quickly.  

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in the baby carriage!  Marc & Laura are good friends of ours and also one of our couples from 2016.  We just love these two and loved getting to be their wedding photographers!!  When we found out they were pregnant – I screamed!!  All of our friends were over the moon excited for them!

Before I even met Devin, when we had only talked through email, I could tell I was going to like this girl!  We instantly felt like friends.  Once I met she & Sean and heard their story, I became even more excited for their wedding day!  First, we needed to take engagement photos, and we started these at the very place their love began.

What better thing to do on this snowy Wednesday than look at photos of a sleeping newborn?  Warning:  This post may make you want to curl up on the couch and take a nap.   I feel like that almost every time I edit newborn photos.  Connor is NO exception!!  This sleepy little boy was just perfect for his session, at only 6 days new, and loved being snuggled up tight.
