Mike and Melissa reached out to me to do their engagement shoot and wedding last year. We caught the very last autumn leaves left on the trees on an early morning. It was a fun shoot then, and it was awesome meeting these two, and becoming a part of their lives for forever. This wedding went straight to my heart. Watching Mike choke up during his vows, and Melissa's joy and laughter throughout the ceremony. Sometimes you just know when you are a part of something special. And this was one of those special ones...
I want to say thank you Mike for his service. I remember during his best man's speech, everyone hooted and hollered for Mike feeling blessed to have him safely home and a part of their lives. It was such a touching moment. Thank you Mike for all you gave, and all you have done for our country!
Jon and Sarah, you guys are amazing! I loved shooting your engagement, and I loved shooting your wedding. I hope you guys renew your vows soon so I can shoot that too! Its always a pleasure photographing this amazing couple and I am so pleased to have been a part of your special day. I hope to share many more special moments with you guys in the future!

I was lucky enough to shoot the wedding of Kyle and Cara Kilroy. For those of you who don't know. Kyle has been my friend since I was all of 3 years old. This wedding was heartwarming and beautiful. When I watched Kyle shed some tears as his beautiful bride walked down the aisle, I had to do everything I could to stop myself from doing the same. Nothing makes me happier, than seeing one of my oldest friends this happy. When Kyle and Cara first approached me to shoot their wedding, I was hesitant, I was worried my feelings would get in the way, wanting nothing more than to share their special day with them. The more I thought about it, the more I realized there was no way I could possibly say no to the opportunity to capture their memories and forever be remembered by the images I created for them. Kyles tears wasn't the end of it, watching his best men choke up giving their speeches. His best men were his 2 brothers, whom I have the pleasure of being friends with as well. It was the most beautiful thing to see how much love was around this beautiful couple. From start to finish there was absolutely endless love. Seriously, Kyle and Cara, I love you guys so much, and I am so happy to have shot your wedding, and been there with you. I wish you both the best, because you two, and your families, and all of our friends truly touched my heart in a special way during your wedding.
Now the toughest part, figuring out which photos to share! I mean it is seriously the toughest part of every wedding. And I just had to say, enjoy these because its been 3 hours I have been choosing photos and theres too many great shots! It would take all night to pick them all! I hope I can shed a little light on the love and happiness with the preview of their images. Enjoy!
