A sweet winter wedding with a gorgeous bride and groom totally in love! A ‘first look’ is one of my very favorite things about weddings for those who choose them!  It seems so counterintuitive– like it’s taking away a special moment during the day.  But actually, I think it adds to that special moment!  Instead […]

Here are some more shots I’m loving as I go along! These two kiddos were the cutest things on the planet!

I just love those magical moments.

Best wishes to the couple.  Enjoy marriage… […]
