Gina and Dakota’s formal wedding day was absolutely perfect down to every last detail. Gina wore a perfect modern, striped wedding gown and Dakota was handsomely dapper in his black tie tux. The whole day was a gorgeous black and white affair! Gina and Dakota’s first look was absolutely perfect. Dakota was very nervous but […]

Erin and Chris’s wedding was such an exciting one! It was the end of July and although we figured the temps would be outrageous, we were lucky to be graced with a calm, low 80 degree day. I have known Erin for many years. We were great friends in high school, through sports and getting […]

These adorable high school sweethearts were such a joy to meet and capture! Ashley and Branson have known each other since junior high but didn’t know their love for each other until going to homecoming years later as friends. They realized how much they enjoyed each other’s company and have been together over 6 years! […]

This is going to be a loooong post – but I love these two for so many reasons I just had to share. First off Molly and Kody are Eagles fans, so it was so nice to be in the presence of other champions (LOL), but they also both have the best personalities! Molly is […]

Andrea and Bryan’s wedding was THE most laid back wedding I have ever photographed. These two are so adorably in love, and the whole day was filled with happy tears and so many laughs. Andrea’s bridesmaids were completely on point, helping her with everything she needed and helping keep everything on time. Andrea’s sister, Alison […]

Sydney and Cody grew up in neighboring small towns and met in high school through mutual friends. They are the absolutely perfect couple. They both have such kind and generous personalities and their wedding day was filled with so much joy! The whole entire day ran so smoothly and on time, I kept thinking I […]
