Jamie x Joe // Phoenix, Arizona In Home Couples Session // Phoenix Couples Photographer
You may have seen a lot of these two lately. Incase you didn't know they took me on rad weekend trip to Arizona. We shot FOUR sessions. Basically, I documented who they are as a couple, wherever they were! It was pure bliss from a photographer's standpoint. Can't get enough these lovie-dovies? See their Horseshoe Bend shoot or their morning hike in Sedona.

The Beach Wedding Stone | HONEYFUND
From the bride who decided to get married on Saturday (which was the unluckiest day for a wedding) to the groom who did not think he had to carry his bride over the threshold (because if he didn’t evil spirits would enter through her feet). Someone made a choice and changed tradition.

Meeting up after coffee x breakfast burritos is my kind of morning //
BIG SUR, CALIFORNIA
It was mid-morning, where the light was still warm. But not too early, just right actually. This little mini session was the perfect amount of time. It was kind of fun, because we weren't entirely sure where we'd shoot at, because we were both traveling for this shoot. Tiana wanted photos next to these giant trees, and after hiking back behind a resort (and not the resort we stayed at, whoops), we found this little camping area!

Leah + Reis // The Pella at Blackstone // Omaha Nebraska Wedding Photographer
"The weeks leading up to the wedding were filled with many deep emotions. I’m normally not very emotional, so experiencing that was a change for me. I had longed to marry my high school sweetheart for five years and I almost couldn’t believe that it was finally happening. Being so close to the day that I would commit my life to Leah brought such intense anticipation! I don’t normally cry, in sadness or in joy, but multiple times I found myself tearing up as I thought about how lucky I was to marry the woman of my dreams. One of the moments that I’ll never forget was taking communion together after we had said our vows to one another. The connection that I felt to Leah as we held one another and spent time in prayer through tears is indescribable. The graciousness of God to bring us together as husband and wife and to allow us to mirror what He has done for us will always be one of the greatest sources of joy for me as I look back on that day and as we continue our lives together. Most of the rest of the day was a blur, but it was moments like those that made all the stress of planning and all the years of waiting worth it. I always trusted that my wedding day would be one of the greatest days of my life and without question; it was!" -Reis

JESS X GARRETT | Breckenridge, Colorado Engagement Photography
Okay, can I just take a moment and talk about how F U N these two are?! Garrett is hilarious, goofy and most definitely silly. Jess lights up and you can tell that he is her world.
Together they strolled the green pastures, high mountains and backroads of Breckenridge, Colorado.
We decided to shoot in Breckenridge, as both Garrett and Jess would go to this small mountain town for family vacations as children. Something about this place brings both of them peace and happiness.
I hope y'all enjoy this session as much as I do.
