amanda & matt

helloooooo west side! when you are on the west side, everyone knows everyone! these two just happened to be one of those situations. amanda & matt are friends with a past couple i photographed, which is where they found me. now the odd, west side part is.... matt's family actually knows my future in-laws! we were photographing, and chatting and they say, "oh you photographed matt's sister and friends in the play annie!" that's my story... i hope that was interesting... ANYWAY! amanda & matt are awesome! they are super cute, fun, and totally in love. high school sweethearts, and finally getting married in july! i cannot wait for their super fun, non-elder themed wedding!

they met in band, so of course they wanted shots by the piano

i smile every time on this one

her one request "can i have a photo standing on a step?"

gettin a little fancy

:)

michelle

oh the little 14 year old girl who blasted my relationship with her brother all over facebook is ALL GROWN UP! i must say it has been exciting watching her grow up these past few years. it is definitely never a dull moment hearing about her stories of high school, friends, and some of the most random stories ever. being quite the texting queen, hilarious, and an amazing artist i'm excited to soon call her my sister.... awwww :) thanks for the fun day!!

one of the first shots of the day. love it

she looks so old, and so young at the same time

quite the hipster

best jump shot ever

katie & austin

A WEDDING EXTRAVAGANZA!! so i have put off some blogging so i can get back on track with my editing. so what you have missed is this amazing wedding! katie & austin got married on 9.10.11... katie's parent's were married on 5.6.78 OBVI, THIS CALLS FOR A GOOD WEDDING! they were married at the St Martin of Tours church, where her parents were married, the only time for a ceremony? 11am! So after that we went on many adventures throughout the day, all documented below. I'm so thankful they brought me along, they are some of the most amazing, and sweetest people i have met. SUCH A FUN DAY!
