I finally got to photograph Lauren and Matt!  They were another casualty of this spring’s terrible weather, but the rescheduling was worth it because we ended up with a great evening.  Lauren is so pretty–it’s like photographing a Disney princess with those gorgeous big eyes, beautiful skin and amazing hair!

After a spring of challenging weather I was thrilled that we had beautiful weather for Holden and Kelly’s engagement portraits, as our collective travel plans meant we couldn’t reschedule!  They were such naturals in front of the camera and rocked all of the little interactions.  I only needed to put them in a pretty spot and they did the rest!  I can’t wait for their wedding in August and another chance to photograph these cuties!

We were back at the Air Force Academy for Catherine and Zack’s wedding two weeks ago!  Catherine is absolutely unflappable.  While getting ready for the day she got a text from Zack that their flight to their honeymoon in Croatia had been cancelled due to the Lufthansa strikes.   For a lot of us that would have been a total tailspin moment, but Catherine handled it beautifully, handing it off to one of the groomsmen and going on with her day!  We were also hit with pretty much every type of weather you could imagine during our portrait time, from wind to snow to rain to beautiful sun, and Catherine was ready to meet it all with a level head.  Catherine and Zack had hoped that we’d capture lots of laughter during the reception, and we absolutely did.  Their family and friends were so much fun, and they had a fantastic DJ.  We were thrilled to work Brandon because he had everything we love in a great DJ–awesome dance lights, fun music, and he kept us well informed.  If any of our brides are looking for a DJ, we’d love to work with Brandon again!
