Todd Sneak Peek

From a photography standpoint, the cliffs "resort" is always a beautiful place to shoot at, especially when you have access to the club house, as we did, for the reception! Tebby and Darla's wedding day was a gift from God. When we first climbed into the stratosphere to the chapel, miles above sea level, we were met with an irish fog reminiscent of the moors present during the time of King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake. However by "ceremony-time" the fog had lifted; the moors receding and becoming a lush landscape of mountain and valley; a declaration of the joyful union about to commence. You could literally feel the joyfulness inside the chapel for these two wonderful people about to get married.

this kid rocks!

I can't describe how awesome it is to be Asher's dad (but while I'm at it, let me try!) The little guy is one of the most amazing people I've met in my life. And though I've not met many celebrities, high ranking government officials or spiritual gurus, I am 100% positive he would beat them all in personality, looks and charisma. His love for life, his curiosity of the world around him and his blatant unawareness of his social inadequacies are beautifully refreshing. Bell took asher to the park (which is a place I'm SURE he dreams of often) and captured some of the awsomeest photos ever of his personality at three. We love you Asher!

Ferguson Sneak Peek

We love shooting people in love. Showing that connection and intimacy is so pure and real, it makes its fairly hard to fake. Drew and Donna shined with a light all their own and I swear each time we shot them Donna became more beautiful with every shot. (sorry drew, you're handsome and all but donna takes the cake) By their wedding day, I was stunned when I walked into the room she was getting ready in! I knew then, drew was going to go crazy when he saw her later that day. Throughout the day I was struck over and over with the genuine happiness their friends had for the newly married couple. Here's a peek of some of events throughout the day.

gummy worms

Perfectly content catching bugs and playing with caterpillars in a fancy pink dress, meet alexa. A sweet little girl and lover of candy, she was more than happy to bite the head off of a "worm" for the sake of a good photo. After an excellent photo shoot, she was rewarded with enough candy to send her to the moon.

operation: lake date

Threatening to open up and pour down rain any second, we boldly braved the elements to share in this wonderful time with Joe and Martha. Joe, who is in the military, I'm sure doesn't get to see his lovely bride to be as much as he'd like, so we give a hearty salute and thank you to both for allowing us to take some of that precious time and spend it with us as we captured the connection they share. Here's a couple of our favorites from the shoot.
