iceCold.

so mia has been in over 10 weddings. quite impressive since she’s barely in her teens!!

melanie’s favorite. dad is semi-pro at the father daughter dance! father of SIX girls. Gina, Sister, Jackie, Jess, Luci and Mia. BAM! :-D

can you spot chris? lol.

luci loves to dance. shes dang good at it too!! :-D

Luci and i worked together about 7 years ago. Recently we have become closer than ever and i love it! it was so awesome to be with them and their families

all weekend. man it was such a beautiful day! i love how chris takes care of luci and how they look at eachother. so romantic. luci comes from a family of 11!! and wants

to have her own big family. after hanging out with all of them all day it made me want to have 9 of my own children. their families are so amazing. they all have such

unconditional love towards eachother and never stop showing it!! ahhh how awesome they are. and not to mention both sets of parents! what fabulous people they are!

we spent 22hrs with this whole group over 2 days and i’ll tell ya what, i loved every minute of it! someone was always lookin out for us! i felt like i became part of them. and i got

emotional like 6 different times?! whats up with that? lol. so im hoping i get a phone call in a few months saying, “hey mel! guess what we are working on number 1!!”

congrats you guys. you are wonderful people. oh and by the way- you’re super hot! thanks for letting us hang out all weekend! heart mel and adam

it takes very little effort to make these two smile.

i mean seriously sarah, you have to know how pretty you are.

pretty sure adam was upside down when he took this shot.

adam’s favorite.

BA.  definition- badass.

reason #1 why i adore this couple: they do everything together, including mission trips.

last year they went to south africa together. jake has his sweet SA flag bracelet and sarah

has an awesome necklace from there as well.  if you need to learn more

about how important faith is in your marriage…hang out with these two. theyre amazing.

the key to a good photo is confidence. sarah yer hot.

right about now is when a cop pulled off liberty street downtown and asked

us what the heck we were doing. apparently someone

reported complaints photographers downtown taking photos of nude women?! ummm…lol?

my favorite. god i love the look shes giving him.

i grabbed it while sarah put her hair up. im pretty sure she didnt even know i was still shooting.

i dont know who’s eyes are prettier?

i thought my idea was way cooler. you have to spice it up. lol.

left to right: jake, sarah, me :) , and adam

some of you probably recognize this couple from our site. i have soo much love and respect for these two people.

i dont even know where to begin here. ive known sarah for 8 years and 3 years ago we shot their wedding. well, many of you know this…but their

wedding was the unfortunate wake up call for us as photographers! it still makes me sick to my stomach to even talk about,

not because of my loss but because of theirs.  while we were shooting the alter pics someone broke into the room where we had ALL our

equipment (which was a ’secure place’ according to the priest).  thousands of dollars in equipment was

stolen from us.  included was my mac with all the days images, and memory cards from the ceremony uploading.  it was terrible.  i know their

was absolutely nothing we could have done…it was out of our hands, but man am i still upset about it. since then the four of us have been through

a hell of a lot together, and each event seems to make us stronger and closer! now we are practically neighbors and

regularly they are here or we are there helping with some sort of project.  I LOVE THAT!! no hesitation. i need help? BAM! sarah is knockin on my door! :)

adam picked these shots out because i flagged about 60 shots as my favorites! lol. i cant help it!! they are all so good.  so cute. so perfect.

i hope its what you wanted guys. happy 3rd anniversary! thanks for your friendship, you BOTH mean the world to me. i adore you. love you.
