5 Somethings // Wanderlust

Most of my brain space over the past couple of weeks has been dedicated to sorting through our images from 2015. I wouldn't have it any other way. What a great way to close out the year and move excitedly into the new adventures ahead. The remainder of my brain has been dreaming about my first trip of the year!

Something Lovely :: My friend Maryanne decided to come with me to Denmark and Sweden this week - yay I can't wait!

Something Captured :: Mike's Birthday Bash - what a blast!

Something Dreamy :: In less than 5 days I will be sipping coffee in Copenhagen. I have so much wanderlust. I can't wait to get on the plane.

Something New :: Over the last few days, we have released our best of 2015 posts. I'm excited to go back in and write a little something over the next week or so. Mike and I are so overjoyed to share our year with all of you. So much gratitude!

Something Challenging :: Fitting it all in. Oh the pre-vacation craziness!

Hugs,

Best of Part 3

It is wonderful to follow people through all of life's adventures - engagements, weddings, babies, anniversaries, special family moments, and the list goes on. We photographed couples we have known for years and others we just met; building life-long friends in the process. We shot weddings with such unique and special themes - a midsummer nights dream, new age, contemporary, vintage, rustic, old world - and all were beautiful in their special way. We ended 2015 with a family road trip to the Grand Canyon and Arizona for one last exhale of 2015. 

Thank you for letting us share in your love and tell your beautiful story. 

Inside Out :: Saturday

Dear Wanderers,

Words often fail me, while pictures are my comfort zone. They speak a thousand words, flow straight from my heart, and are always right.

Saturday I will be heard loud and clear without speaking much at all. Saturday will be the best day of the week. Not just because of the beautiful flowers, the perfect venue or the timeless hair and makeup. It’s the best day because of my amazing bride and groom. They will open up their world to me and let me step inside. I will get to share these emotional, epic moments with them and use my craft to shelter their memories. I will hold up a mirror to their lives and say “I think you guys are wonderful”. On top of that, I get to meet and capture the family and friends who have facilitated the growth of their unique souls. The love between these two families is beautiful.

Thank you for sharing your Saturday with me.

xoxo,

S.

Best of 2015 : Part 2

We captured too many smiles to count. We loved having fun play dates at the beach and capturing loving families along with their sweet new additions. One of my favorite wedding designs of 2015 was the lighted wall at the New Children's Museum for Ayisha and Matt's wedding. What a dream. Ashley and Greg had a flower crown station at their wedding along with a stunning, hand-cut paper backdrop for photos. The family and friends of our bride and grooms welcomed us like one of their own.
