sarah & matt

what an amazing day, couple and group, nothing could have been more perfect! sarah and matt are a perfect match, and so in love it gives me the biggest smile. this was actually a ceremony to renew their vows. matt is in the national guard and was deployed to Iraq, causing them cancel their wedding plans, and have a small wedding. this was the wedding they were always wanting, and i was soooo happy to be apart of it! so glad matt is back and safe, and sarah remembered an old friend from high school. (ME!) oh BTW some of my favorite photos ever!!

sarah gettin' her pretty on

this dress fit her perfectly!

this is hilarious!

sarah is beautiful. matt is a stud. look at those shoes!

i'm not a huge fan of cake, but this thing smelled soooo good

this is my proof of the AMAZING group of people i got to hang with

perfect. perfect. perfect.

OKAY I'M EXCITED ON TO THE PHOTOS!!!!

YOU ARE SEX!

what movie does that come from??

that's what i just thought of with these two

work it

one of my all time favorites

it is official!

jackie is so creative! her little touches were everywhere.

this one was the poem "i carry your heart with me" by ee cummings

included came a little bracelet with a love charm. i wear it proud :)

OK! 5 years in the biz, never once saw someone release balloons.

i was excited!

EVERYONE had a dance off with this kid.

NO ONE beat him.

i wish i had video of him just flopping his legs over his head

hope you enjoy jackie & nick as much as me!

p.s. funny story! i don't know if you remember me saying i lost my car keys during their engagement session..... WELL! the videographer locked his keys in his car on their wedding!

something about these two and car keys....

morgan & eric

watch out now, these two may be some of the most amazing people ever. i swear every photo of theirs was just gorgeous, i think they are secretly models..... not only are they beautiful people, they have amazing personalities. both morgan and eric are friendly, hilarious, genuine, and just great people to be around. our 3 hours together went by super quick, and of course was quite the success. they are getting married in december and i cannot wait! i'm pretty sure my face will hurt by the end of their wedding from laughter. I AM PUMPED!

okay and now on with the awesome....

this is just outside of where their wedding reception will take place

i love the colors

cute? um, duh

HOLY SMOKIN' HOTNESS!!

i told you. models.

i love everything about this photo

we all got excited about the yellow wall

so i have a track record of getting kicked out of devou park....

so, we had to change places to covington and it got dark, real quick.

luckily it made for this super cute photo

gotta love a couple that will do the old pickin' the nose trick

once again, i do not lie my friends

countdown to their wedding starts now

brandi & gary

i must admit i am one very lucky photographer. anyone in the wedding business will talk about their horror brides, and how mean the moms can be, i cannot tell you a bad story about my groups. five years now, and my brides, grooms and moms and dads are all absolutely amazing! brandi & gary are of course added to that list! they are so laid back, hilarious, and just two amazing, genuine people. leading up to their wedding day they had quite the rocky road, but you would have never guessed it by the smiles on their faces. these two wrote their own vows, and brandi actually changed hers the morning of their wedding. to sum it up she had stated, nothing else matters but the love to each other and their closest friends and family. such an amazing wedding. i thank the two of you so much for letting me be apart of your day!

some of the funniest men i know

some of the sweetest ladies i know

i love outdoor weddings

THE KISS!!

i couldn't decide on a favorite, so ya got both!

bahahaha! i just think her face is hilarious!!

i love playing the "what celebrity do you look like" game

DANE COOK

this is jeremy the dj, he is rockin with soundsations

an adorable message from mom :)

aubri & chris

boy oh boy i do not even know where to start on this one!! well, like i summed them up at their engagement session, these two are fabulous, and EVERYONE at their wedding knew it. aubri was absolutely glowing the entire day, i don't think that smile ever came off of her face. this was the day of floods galore, and just pouring down ran. you would never guess there was a problem if you spoke to aubri. chris was the same way! smiling all day, so nice and happy to just be his wedding day. luckily, the rain did stop for a little bit during our photo time. OOOOOH THE LUCK! the rest of the stories will be told through pictures....

*the new "bride of bud lite"*

her entire family is just amazing

haha, it is quite exhausting putting on a tux

ummm freakin hott!

like seriously, she looks stunning here

they decided to see each other before the ceremony and immediately started kissing, and kissing and kissing! LOVE THESE TWO!!

this is elliot, we have become best friends

he passed this test BTW

NEVER in my 5 years of photographing weddings have i heard cheering SOOO LOUD as i did when they first announced Mr. & Mrs. this was one of my favorite moments of the day, brought tears to my eyes. simply amazing :)

do you see why i love this group?

wicked sweet!

another favorite part of the day was knowing how thoughtful, caring, and completely unselfish chris & aubri are. they made several moments of their wedding, about their friends and family including our friends charitie & marcus

during charitie & marcus' first dance at their wedding, there was a little mix up with their song choice, so they did not have the correct song. charitie was of course so upset! aubri & chris took a moment out of their reception to bring up charitie & marcus, and play their correct first dance song. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? who does that? loved it! i was so happy to be there and witness the excitement on charitie & marcus' faces. charitie told me later that was the first time they danced to the correct song. after 7 months, finally they get their dance.

famous first dance song? "Feels Like Home" by Chantal Kreviazuk

and these are all my new friends

thank you sooooo much for having me be apart of this wedding!!
