An off-the-beaten-path venue, woodland feels, nature inspired florals and decor, a beautiful couple, plus so many more things…. it all adds up to one heck of a perfect shoot!

There might have been some unexpected surprises...like storm clouds and thunder, downpours and steady rain showers. But the thing that matters above all those unexpected things is the thing that Haley and John expected the most from their June wedding day....They expected to get married.

When he asked if he could see her again, - "Maybe next week" were his words, while her words were - "For you I'm free tomorrow."

As much as Ben tried to prepare himself for the moment those church doors opened and he first saw Bailey....it was evident his preparations weren't up to par. How could they be?

Those two giggling lovebirds - Amber with her perfect dimples, and Zach with that adoring smile - their wedding day rolled around it was a day full of fun and surprises, love and memories, and just endless good times.

With multi-page handwritten vows, they took their time, they said their words, and made their promises, and in between each page flip - their hands reached again and again for one another.

a little personal story about something called “everyday business”

Being in love with someone looks different for every couple. For Sarah and Austin... it looks like pure joy, and their wedding day from the very start to the very end was full of nothing short of the most infectious joy you can find!

In no time at all, the words were uttered between them... "Is it too soon to say I love you?".
And as we all can agree, the answer is no, it's never too early to say exactly how you feel.
