You’re gonna fall in love with these two – I guarantee it! They’re fun, goofy, and over-the-moon in love and excited to be husband and wife!!! Have I mentioned that’s my favorite kind of couple to photograph? Because it is. :-)

p.s. Shoutout to Confetti Creative Co. for providing this *gorgeous* lettering on their invites!! It’s quite possibly my favorite backdrop for ring photos!!

First look kisses and loving gazes. :-)

I was setting up a pose after their first look, and Samantha said “oh my gosh, your ring!!!” Is it just me, or is that one of the most exciting moments for a bride on her wedding day? To see her *husband* wearing a wedding ring? I think it’s pretty special, but I may be biased, because that was one of my favorite moments from my own wedding. :-) I also love a bride in a lace dress with a round cut halo-style ring – Samantha and I are basically twins. But she’s way cooler. :-)

FAVORITE!!!!!!

Don’t you just want to be best friends with this group? I think they’re pretty great, but again, I’m biased because I got to spend half the day with them! :-)

Just a few post-ceremony photos…

…because we just HAD to cross the stream for those fall colors!!!! Worth. It.

Nick + Samantha didn’t have a ‘dance’ but they did have one of the dancingest flower girls I’ve ever seen! She can twirl a skirt like nobody’s business!

Nick + Samantha, THANK YOU for being the most kind, fun, silly, in-love couple on the planet. I feel like you should give a workshop to engaged couples on how to relax and have fun on a wedding day, because you nailed it. Thanks for having me – I wish we could do it all over again!!

Also, thanks for the Blue Steel – you guys seriously rock my world.

Remember Jeff + Lindsay and their magical wintery engagement session? Turns out they are just as sweet and lovable in the fall as they are in the snow – go figure! ;-)

This happened during their first look – I love it so much!!

I could have shared a LOT more of their portraits (I loved so many of them) but I have to save some of the excitement for their gallery! Also, I had to make room to share a few of their beautiful details…

I love, love, LOVE this moment!!! Lindsay’s sister watching her brother (the officiant) and Jeff’s reactions as Lindsay and her dad walk down the aisle.

Another couple of favorites… Jeff + Lindsay – I hope you never stop looking at each other this way!

Side note: check out that awesome setup!! Pinterest, you should be jealous.

A few more portraits after the ceremony, including one more forehead kiss – because they’re just the sweetest. :-)

I love a good cake, but nothing beats homemade treats like these!!! I’ll be honest with you – I passed by this table many times that evening. Those chocolates on the top tier were filled with peanut butter, so what’s a girl to do?!

I’d love to see the photos that Jeff + Lindsay’s flower girl captured! Partly because I think the lens was facing her a couple of times, and partly because she’s copying one of my shooting poses and I wouldn’t mind comparing our shots. Maybe I need to be getting even lower?

Jeff + Lindsay – I hope you had a wonderful evening and weekend in the Hills! Your day (and your love) was absolutely beautiful, I’m so glad I could capture it for you! :-)

That’s right, another wedding for you to ooh and ahh over this week!! Dahlen + Laura’s wedding was full of sparkle and laughter. Despite the chilly temperatures, I think it’s safe to say everyone had a wonderful time!

Told you it was full of sparkle – just check out all the bling Laura was wearing! :-)

Before Laura’s dad presented her to Dahlen, he had a few words to say, and it was definitely the funniest/sweetest thing I’ve ever seen at a wedding! Dahlen + Laura – you two have such awesome, caring families, that to me felt like one big, happy family – not two separate ones coming together for your wedding. That, in and of itself, is something to cherish!

Sorry, Dahlen, I *had* to share this one!! You see, Dahlen’s cousin (an amazing singer) sang “Marry Me” during the ceremony, and all of the bridesmaids + Dahlen started to tear up. So much so, that a tissue was handed from one bridesmaid to the next, and eventually passed to Dahlen. :-)

Dahlen + Laura – Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for entrusting me to document your wedding day! You and your families were more than wonderful to work with. I hope you are enjoying that warm Arizona weather while looking back on your big day! :-)

Gosh, I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of photographing weddings! Especially when they include so many exciting, pure, sweet, lovable moments such as these…

First looks get me EVERY TIME!!

Sometimes the hands say it all.

I was so happy with the blue sky on Michael + Megan’s wedding day, I had to do a photo with the wedding party as well! :-)

This next photo was on Megan’s wish list – hopefully it’s one they’ll treasure forever!

Thanks, Michael + Megan for inviting me to be a part of your big day! It was a treat seeing so many familiar faces, and to watch you two become Mr and Mrs! I wish you many, many years happiness!

Hellooooo sunshine!!! Starting off with my (two) favorite(s) from Eric + Allison’s engagement session!

I absolutely LOVE it when my couples feel comfortable enough around me to be their giggly selves – Eric and Allison, you guys make ME smile with your happiness! :-)
