Sophia + John - wed!





















June 20, 2009
I loved photographing John & Sophia's wedding a few weeks ago! I arrived at the church to see that a VBS program was going with lots of water fun, kids running everywhere! It made for a fun environment to get the day started. :)
Sophia's shoes are one of my favorite pairs of the past couple of years - she told me later that she chose them knowing I'd be doing some fun stuff with them - gotta love that!
The ceremony was beautiful, with John's grandfather officiating. John & Sophia's meeting is an amazing story - which began many, many years ago when Sophia's father was a student of John's grandfather's all the way over in Koren. I loved hearing the telling of it during the ceremony.
Following the ceremony John, Sophia & I heading out to do some pictures. We stopped at an old mansion that was close by and I love what we got! What a beautiful couple.
The reception was beautiful as well, and there was a very fun group of cousin's that livened up the dance floor the minute the music got started! I have to give a shout out to Bryan from my friend Sarah's company (Platinum Mix) for the awesome DJing - the best I've seen in awhile!
Thank you for sharing your day with me John & Sophia!

Amanda + Sam - wed!


































June 13, 2009
What an amazing day! I loved being a part of Amanda & Sam's wedding - they are incredible people! We had beautiful weather and lots of fun! We started the day out at the church with some getting ready shots. Love the girl's dress color and Amanda's bouquet was a brilliant shade of pink! Amanda & Sam did a foot washing as part of their ceremony, which was so touching.
Following the ceremony we stopped for some pictures at a little historic park, where we shot very quickly as the mosquitoes were out in sworms! I still love what we got!
The reception was held on a golf course and we had a blast driving around in the carts! Fun!
Here are a few shots that I love from the day!
