{Blake-Sixteen}

Saturday we were able to get away as a family and I snagged a couple of pictures of Blake to mark his 16th birthday....these were taken at the Land Between The Lakes Nature Station in Kentucky.

You can read all about our trip at my personal blog and enjoy an overload of more pictures, including some amazing sailboat pictures :)

I love it when a bride and groom make the ceremony fit their personalities.  I absolutely loved, loved, loved the details of Dustin and Melissa's beautiful day, especially because it fit them so well!  From the awesomely creative bouquets (that one of the bridesmaids made!) to the rockin' bridesmaids shoes (I wonder if they have my size), this was just a picture perfect wedding.  Really, I wish it hadn't been so horribly hot outside, because I probably would still be camped out taking pictures of these two.  Many thanks to Dustin, Melissa and their friends for letting us share their day!

{Are these not the cutest shoes?? I totally want a pair!}

{Josh & Karla}

Last weekend I had a unique opportunity to capture the memories of a "dream come true." Josh & Karla were married 5 years ago, but due to circumstances (including a deployment) they weren't able to have a wedding at that time. Last week they renewed their vows at Southside Community Church complete with a gorgeous bride in a stunning white gown, a dapper groom, decorations, flowers, cake, and plenty of friends to help celebrate this renewal of love and commitment. They wrote their own vows, which were incredible and extremely heartfelt. I felt so privileged to get to share in such a special day.

Karla was absolutely stunning....she has to be one of the most beautiful brides I've photographed.

Josh & Karla, thank you so much for letting me share in your beautiful day.

Enjoy the sneak peeks :)
