Josh & Alyssa: engaged.

I got to spend some time downtown with Josh and Alyssa for their engagement session, after only talking with Alyssa over phone a few times. Of course only 30 seconds of just meeting the two of them, and I knew we were going to have such a fun time getting these shots of the two of them together! I think everyone is always nervous at the beginning of any session, but these two were total troopers, up for anything, and more than comfortable with each other. These things make my job so easy and I am totally loving these photos! 

Alyssa and Josh, thank you both for being adorable in front of my lens! Alyssa, I hope those toes of yours are back to normal now after sporting those fantastic shoes around town...totally worth it though right?! I would have to agree! I hope you guys have a gorgeous wedding day and enjoy the moments that make it special. Remember to take time to enjoy each other that day and take it all in! I want to see pictures too! Here are just a few of my favorites from that day. Take care!

I've known Katie and her family since we were little. Her grandma was our Sunday school teacher when I was probably 3 or 4, helping us learn to love Jesus, and making sure our wings were straight for the Christmas program. Her mom was our youth pastor and quiz coach, leading by example and planting the seeds to make sure we walked into the perfect path God had made for each of us. Her cousins are still some of my favorite people ever, having photographed a wedding, several family photos, a high school senior, some newborn photos, a few adorable fishing photos, and I hope many, many more still to come! So to say I have known Katie most of my life, is an understatement! And those pies that Opal makes--I know many folks from our town will agree--some of the BEST around!

Getting to share this special day with Katie and her family was priceless in my eyes. And when I got to finally meet Jeremiah, he was so full of personality, truly funny and so in love with Katie. I'm so happy these two have each other and they totally seem to meet each other in the place that just fits them both perfectly. Katie, I still just love how happy you were that day, laughing with Jeremiah as we ran up that sand dune for photos and seeing you watch him do those fighting moves was adorable! Thank you all for letting me share in your special day, and most importantly, Marti and Robert, you two have raised one amazing, lovely gal! I know she is loved by everyone and her warm, kind, happy spirit is contagious and refreshing!

I wish you both the best Jeremiah and Katie, enjoy my favorites from the day.
