It wasn't until college that they both realized this was really it, for real, let's talk it out, let's tell our family and friends, and let's do this thing....cause you are who I want for always.

As they walked back down their aisle among cheers from family and friends, you could hear Ashlie shout "We're married!!!" to Michael, and both of their smiles stretched for endless miles!

Samantha caught the bouquet at her best friends wedding.....having no idea the irony of that serendipitous moment!

There came a moment during Arielle and Jerad's outdoor wedding ceremony when it seemed to shift into a magical silence. It was during their vows. That moment wasn't your typical silence of respect from the guests, no, it was more than that. 

Nerves were calmed, anxiousness was erased, butterflies were tamed - all by just being near each other.

It's that age old story of paths that crossed often, randomly, frequently like ships in the night, but always at a time that just wasn't quite right....Until one day, when it was.

Outside, farm animals such as peacocks and guinea-fowls serenaded the spaces while the warm April sun beamed and the cool April breeze blew. Inside, upstairs in that rustic old barn, Megan and Shawn were simply a short hallway apart.

Amber + Matt are so good together you find it easy to see why their love is so special, and why they come across like the best of friends - because they are the best of friends. Their love runs deep, and you see it in every grin, every twinkle in their eyes, and every single time they reach for one another.

It was Britta's graduation day, and Patrick wanted to take some photos....."Let's take some silly ones!"....Britta cringed....."Why don't we pretend like I'm proposing..." to which Britta scoffed and said "No, not unless you're doing it for real" - and that's when things got serious.

When Malorie came down the aisle of that little white chapel - the excitement Travis had been feeling to marry his girl mounted so high, it came out in the form of tears. He loves her so deep.

Emily & Jon had been together for a few years when January of 2016 rolled around. That was going to be a special month...Emily just didn't realize it yet. What Emily didn't know quite yet was that Jon had been doing some shopping...and he had picked out the most gorgeous ring, all for her.

They go way back, like way way back. All the way, in fact, to elementary school. 

In the most beautiful Catholic Church, down a grand aisle, on the arm of her precious Dad, with a sweet smile, a fast beating heart, and complete tunnel vision - all for Spencer.....Allie walked his way. 

Old photos. Especially these old photos. They mean the absolute world to me. But what if I didn't have them? What if they never existed? What if your precious memories never exist in print? What happens then?

Jensen Beach was the perfect place to round out their sunny Florida vacation, and it was on that beach that Jeff surprised the heckkkkk out of Jessica...with a gorgeous engagement ring. 

...And then it was time...Haley Reinhart singing "Can't Help Falling in Love With You" started through the speakers, the beautiful space in the warm sun got all quiet and serene....and then here she came, and the love of her life melted into a pool of emotion.

What was 2016 like?  
Like the first time you ride your bicycle down a gigantic hill. You're anxious, nervous + excited as you start to go down, you gain momentum.....more than you anticipated, maybe more than you thought you were ready for...There's a slight panic, maybe you lose your footing for a second, but then suddenly...you just soak in the feeling of the wind in your hair and before you know it, you've reached the bottom, and you're coasting along just fine, unscathed. 

The one year anniversary of going full-time with this little business of mine, and a recap of such!
