Cindy & Rico know the importance of family. From their own daughter, all the way to Cindy's own mother, the familial vibe that they give off is palpable. They had to move their wedding day up, and it went from a big, fancy affair, to a perfect, intimate backyard wedding. I truly think it encompassed them perfectly. The weather was wonderful and everyone rallied together to make their day memorable and beautiful.

I don't usually shoot solo, but I'm kind of glad I did for this wedding...it really opened my eyes to just how special Rico & Cindy's wedding day was, and it was an honor to shoot it for them.

I love couples that love their families, and Taylor and Kyle were the perfect example of that. Their backyard wedding this past June was absolute magic. From their willow tree ceremony to dancing under the stars, the entire day was filled with smiles and fun and laughter. I immediately clicked with them when I met up at Taylor's parents' house a few months back, and I was so looking forward to their celebration. I'm happy to say my intuitions were right!

Where do I even begin with this one, guys? I can't begin to tell you how excruciatingly hard it was to pick different photos to put in this post--I wanted to put all of them in! I whittled it down to a healthy handful, but I still feel like I could've put in more...Melanie & Bobby's day was just beautiful. The energy throughout the day was so much fun, and I had an absolute blast spending their big day with them.

The wedding took place in Melanie's parents' front yard--her childhood home--which was the perfect backdrop for such a lovely day. I have to give Melanie a ton of credit...when I first arrived, I expected her to already be in hair & make-up, but she was still setting things up in the tent & hauling things from the house. I think the best part was that she had a huge smile on her face the entire time. If she was nervous or anxious, it didn't show for a second. 

I still can't believe their engagement photos were so many months ago. I'm so happy that they asked me to photograph their wedding day!
