[Picture Love] Jon & Amanda Russell 9.26.15

I am thankful for family who support and believe in my art. Amanda is one of my cousin's best friends. Amanda booked my services early this summer and it was a client/photographer match! Her and Jon were a joy to work with and their bridal party was a blast! They are one big loving family and it made for a great wedding. Unfortunately Amanda got a massive migraine after the toasts and was unable to enjoy all of the evening's festivities but when she felt better, she came out for the last song of the night. Everyone was moved by the First Dance. It was really quite special. I hope you enjoy these highlights from their wedding.

Oh boy where do I begin? Well I suppose, the beginning!

Rob and I have been part of the same church family for over 3 years and he's a solid guy. He and Renee met at our church and started dating in November 2012. Fast forward to this past winter when I joined a Lifegroup that Renee was leading. Renee is such a wonderful gal and I enjoyed getting to know her in Lifegroup. Renee and Rob approached me one Sunday before service was going to begin and asked about my wedding photography services. 

Rob & Renee are a great couple. Their joy is contagious and their Love for each other exudes from their very being. You'll get a glimpse of this in the photos below. I am honored to be part of their day and to use my gift Photography to capture the memories forever. It was a joy to shoot along side Amy, our new team member. I look forward to working together more in the future!

Hooray!! Brian and Emily are married!!

It was such a pleasure to go on this journey with these two. One of Emily's bridesmaids referred me to them to be their wedding photographer and we went from a consultation, to an engagement session, to their wedding day and I am so pleased with how the photographs turned out. It was a fantastic fun filled day. Amy Beth joined me again at this wedding and it was awesome!

[Picture LOVE] Patelyn Wedding

I absolutely Loved documenting this wedding. Jocelyn and I met in 2009 through a mutual friend and we saw each other here and there, then we hung out in Kenya a couple times. Jocelyn is a bit of a nomad, free spirit, go with the wind kind of gal and I Love that about her. She's traveled the world and after a few years of school and interning internationally and working, she landed in Baltimore, MD where she grew up and began dating a friend (Patrick) that she knew in high school. They knew pretty quick that they were meant to be and so they got married on June 8th. So by simply responding to a facebook status asking about photographers in the Baltimore area, I got a plane ticket to come out and shoot her wedding! I feel very blessed for the experience of going to a new place, seeing a few friends who I hadn't seen in a couple years, and doing what I Love. The venue was Jocelyn's mom's backyard. The weather was a tricky one. It rained the day before the wedding and the morning of. But the forecast said it would clear up and sure enough, God opened the skies and it felt about 80 degrees during the ceremony! I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful location and the bridal party and guests were lovely. Okay enough talking. Please enjoy these photos!
