"Ever since I was young, I never really understood anything about the world. And I never understood anything that happened in my life. The only thing that ever made any sense to me was you. And how I felt about you. That's all I've ever known. And that's enough for the rest of my life."

They have had eyes for each other since middle school.

They are getting married this fall and I can't wait to be a part of their amazing celebration.

They swore up and down that they were NOT photogenic.... I can't wait to show off how I totally proved them wrong. I love it when I get to do that.

There is just nothing quite like a bridal portrait... I adore shooting them. It's this wonderful chance for the bride to truly FEEL like a bride with none of the pressures and/or time restraints of the the actual wedding day. It's such a joy to watch and such a privilege to be a part of this special moment in time.

Alison was certainly no exception as she glowed in her stunning gown... hair, jewelry and make-up all accenting her perfectly. It all comes down to the fact that she is a woman who is loved and adored.

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles 
And the heavens open every time she smiles 
And when I come to her that's where I belong 
Yet I'm running to her like a river's song 

She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love 
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love 

She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down 
And when I come to her when the sun goes down 
Take away my trouble, take away my grief 
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love 
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

Van Morrison

Despite the heat, Amanda and Kevin's wedding day was one of pure loveliness and pure celebration for the life that they are starting together...

Just a few sweet moments of the day.

This weekend was a whirlwind trip to shoot Amanda and David's lovely wedding and complete another little project. Here are just a couple images that I had to share...

They look pretty over the moon happy, don't you think? And yes, they are on their way to France as we speak, so I'm fully confident that their celebration will continue!
