Lindsey & Steve: Married

This wedding is by far one of my favorites. 

It took place in the small town of Jerome, Arizona. 

After two years of dating, and 5 years of being engaged, and surrounded only by their closest family and friends,  Lindsey and Steve finally became husband and wife.

This was the most unique experience of my career. 

Usually the morning of the wedding is quiet chaotic. Everyone is trying to get ready, and get the last minute details in place. Its a wedding, its usually just how it goes. But this one was different. 

I told Steve that I wasnt quiet sure what to do with myself because things were so calm and there was so much down time. His reply was, thats exactly what we wanted :) 

Here is Steve's perspective of his wedding day : 

"The day was completely unpredictable, and we liked it that way. The size was small so we thought it was very intimate. Unconventional and stress free are some word that I would use to describe it. So laid back, so rugged and raw. I loved that day a lot."

I loved their reactions when seeing each other for the first time

 

  My favorite shot of the day :

Lindsey and Steve, I have no words. I cant thank you enough for welcoming me, and making me feel like truly just a guest at your wedding. I love you guys and am so honored to have capture your wedding!

Keisha

Last weekend I was able to photography a beautiful wedding in Jerome. 

It was so small and quaint, I loved it! 

Those are soon to come right after I get back from visiting my sister this week. 

I am so excited to spend some quality time with her :) 

For the wedding, I dragged my beautiful friend Keisha with my to keep me company, and on our way out of town we stopped and did a fun little photo shoot. 

Here is just a little teaser, more will be appearing soon!

Meet Sarah and Nic. 

They are highschool sweethearts.

Their wedding was filled to the brim with beautiful details, and gorgeous lighting. 

I absolutely LOVED being a part of their wedding.
Here are just a few outtakes from their first look. Have I mentioned that I love when my clients choose to see each other first? There is nothing like capturing those moments before all the chaos of the wedding begins. 

Check back tomorrow for the rest of their wedding details :)

19 weeks.

Dear Baby, 

You are now 19 weeks. And still nameless. 

Don't worry about that though, your Dad and I will eventually figure that one out.

I think Mckemy is finally coming around to the though of having you around. 

You see, she was pretty set on having a little sister. In fact, she used to cry every time we told her she would have a brother instead. But this week, she seems to be fond of the idea.

She kisses you goodnight, and gives you hugs all the time. 

I know she'll love you. 

Something fun that happened this week was your Dad actually felt you move. 

We were laying down for bed, and you were doing some pretty strong flips inside of me, 

and he actually got to feel it. 

That was a good moment, before we drifted off to sleep.

Take care little baby, were almost half way there. 

Love, Mom.

Surprise!

I am so relieved to finally be able to tell the world that,

IM PREGNANT! 

Yayyyyyyy! We are so sooo excited for this little baby to come into our family. 

I guess after 14 months of trying, we finally figured it out.

Mckemy reacted something like this:

Mckemy is now 3 1/2, and I am so happy she'll finally have a sibling. 

And not just any sibling, 

a little baby BROTHER! Thats right, were having a BOY!!! 

I am 19 weeks along, and we found out this last week that the sweet little bun in the oven is a little boy. 

Sheesh, I guess I'll have to figure out how life is with a little boy around here.

Thank you all who have kept my secret :) We are beyond excited for this little guy to come into our family at the end of May.
