“When I saw you I fell in love. And you smiled because you knew.” ~ William Shakespeare // This session was absolutely the most incredible part of a great week. From the moment it started misting and the wind picked up the potential was for these two to get nervous but they completely embraced the moments and had a blast with everything that came there way.

A quick break from the norm as we work with a great model on a Brooklyn inspired fashion and lifestyle editorial a few weeks ago. // "When you leave New York, you are astonished at how clean the rest of the world is. Clean is not enough. Fran Lebowitz"

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” - Mae West // Jenn + Drew are the perfect example of everything working just right. From the light to the right state of mind this day was set up for success - not to mention this bride is absolutely stunning.

A young man in the Air Foce and a beautiful Christian woman ready to spend her life supporting him. These two blew me away from the very first hug and I can't wait any longer to show them off a little.

A friendship ten years old with this bride set me up to really be able to have some fun on this session. Natalie was up for anything and I'm so glad she was because she looked stunning in this dress and it was the perfect way to celebrate her as a bride even before she walked down the aisle to Blake.

FINALLY sharing a few of our favorite images from this incredible wedding in Red Bank, New Jersey. This trip was so refreshing. I had no idea what to expect on my way down the Jersey coast as we left the Newark airport at 2am. (Thanks to every single airline for managing to never get us anywhere on time) The result was a cute little town with great views and some of the best people.

How could we possibly top Natasha + Brian's sunrise engagement session on the Brooklyn Bridge? A weekend with them in New Jersey celebrating was just about the only way! This is the first ever rehearsal dinner on my blog and it's only a taste of the amazing images from the wedding day we'll be showing tomorrow! Don't miss it.

Some of the most dynamic couple's photos coming out of our cameras in Arkanas in a long time. This wedding was absolutely amazing along with a dream team of vendor friends and one gorgeous couple. // “To love is never just to love since it is also to will to love, and ... to love in spite of oneself, to allow oneself to be overcome by one’s love.” —Jean-Paul Sartre

There's cell phone service here. No GPS. Dirt roads and slow speed limits. There's so many reasons to enjoy a weekend in this place and we've found the perfect place to do it and the perfect reason to be here.  // "Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself." -UNKNOWN
 

A friendship 11 years old and a family with so many ties. This wedding was a huge honor for me to be a part of and a big blessing to get to witness. //"Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.”
“Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving” ― Kahlil Gibran

These two have been together for longer than Melissa and I have even known each other. Young love is an incredible thing and this wedding was beyond special. // “And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.” ―Kahlil Gibran

Back up in New York with another gorgeous bride and another awesome groom. Only this one may have actually raised the bar a bit. Jillian + Spencer have been amazing from the first conversation but their wedding day was torn right out of a magazine.
