What a wonderfully great weekend and past week of meeting my newest niece!!
Christopher and Alissa
Blending two families, two dogs and five kids in their tweens is no easy task, but it is one that Robbin and Steve are up for and ready to tackle.
Winking on Match was the best thing Robbin could have done as Steve was the outcome. Being that she was out of his league, he sent her a kind e-mail replying, but didn’t seem interested. She took the hint and politely sent him a reply not thinking any more of it. But for some reason, Steve could not get Robbin out of his head, and replied back asking her for a date. She agreed and the two hit it off immediately as their sense of humor and wit was similar. The couple were ready to merge their lives together and on a June day with close friends and family in an intimate setting, vowed their love to one another and to their kids.
It was a joy to be a part of, thank you Robbin and Steve for allowing me to capture your special day, you are beautiful!


















And here is your slide show!
It was a joy to photograph Steve and Robbin’s day for them. They had great details that were incorporated throughout their wedding and great vendors that helped make it possible!










“Happy Birthday!” He said as she stepped in the car! “Thanks, where are we going?” She replied with a kiss and a look of questioning. “Surprise.” Michael replied slyly and they took off. After arriveing to one of Lindsay’s favorite places in fall, the apple orchard, she gave him a hug and a big thank you! Even though the sky was overcast and looking like it might rain, she didn’t care. Being that it was a weeknight and that the weather was not so great, the orchard was theirs. They stolled around the orchard talking about their day and reminising about their time together. Coming to the middle of a grove of trees, Michael looked at Lindsay, got down on one knee and asked if she would be his wife! With tears in her eyes and a gigantic smile on her face, she replied “YES!!”
After some other talk, the wagon appeared and the two had their own private birthday/ engagement celebration around the orchard!
Lindsay’s wedding day was just as joyous! Perfect weather, perfect company and perfect day. I did not want the day or weekend to end, it was just so perfect! I am so, so happy for my sister and my new brother-in-law.


















And here is your slideshow!! Happy Wedding day!!
How funny that they did am as a fovor. Scott and I are doing that, too!
Anyone who has been involved in any wedding planning can appreciate seeing the entire wedding come together. As one of the bridesmaids, I helped my sister Lindsay do anything she asked for. We sent web-sites and blog sites back and forth to one another, she told me about details she wanted, and we had a couple times where we as bridesmaids helped her make some of the details for her wedding. Because I get to photograph the day, I ususally get to hear about the details from the bride at our meetings and then see it come togheter on the wedding day. For this wedding though, I got to hear, help and finally photograph the amazing details… and there were plenty to photograph!






















More photos to come tomorrow of this beautiful wedding and couple!!

Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
