Mike & Jenn {The Wedding Day..}

Jenn and Mike seem to be meant for eachother. When we were taking photos it was so adorable. Every time he would refer to her he would call her "My Honey", it was clear how much they care for each other. Their friends and family all seemed to think so as well. They told some fun stories about the couple during the toasts, one of which stuck with me and I thought I would share it.. About a year before they got engaged Jenn started to wear a pretty emerald ring around. When her cousin and maid of honor asked about it she said "Oh, it's my practice ring!" {During the toasts I thought the MOH had messed up her speech, I was sure she must have meant promise ring!}. But the Maid of Honor continued.. Mike had told Jenn if she could keep that ring for a year without losing it, he would get her the real thing! She made sure that ring never left her sight! And eventually she did get the real thing! :) 
I second shot this wedding with the awesome Shannon Morse, we had SO much fun spending the day together, and we even got to take some photos together in their photobooth! check out her view of the day, HERE!

Mike and Jenn, Thank You for allowing me to be a part of your day! I truly enjoyed capturing your special moments! I wish you all the best in your future together. God Bless!

We started the day with the ladies getting ready!

Jenn wore two dresses during the day, and two pairs of shoes! I couldn't resist posing these shoes with this cute oven...

Mike and Jenn poured sand together to represent their new life and Mike's wasn't exactly pouring smoothly. He ended up needing to dump the rest of his sand on top. Jenn couldn't stop giggling the entire time. She was such an adorable bride!

Mr. & Mrs. Landon. {The Wedding Day..}

Dave and Kelly met at the Eternity Bible College graduation. Dave was graduating and Kelly was the photographer for the day. His first thought of her was.. "Dang, who is that?" and she thought he was cute as well. They didn't have a chance to talk that day, but definitely asked their friends about eachother. Soon after the graduation, Kelly sent out an email to "the graduates" but really, it only went to Dave, letting him know how to get in contact with her. He of course jumped on the chance to ask about the photos {rightttt.....}, and talk to Kelly. They quickly realized that they had so much in common. Their love for the outdoors has led them on many sweet adventures and they soon realized they didn't want to be without eachother. Dave proposed to Kelly while they were snowshoeing in the mountains, and was even sweet enough to set up the camera on the tripod to capture everything for her to keep.
The wedding day was awesome, it was a huge family coming together to share their love and support for the Landon's new life together.

Mr. & Mrs. Landon, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day. I love you both and can't wait to see what God has in store for your future! I hope you love your photos!

Kelly and Dave were SO excited to see eachother. They chose to do a first look and it was the most adorable thing. Neither of them could hold in their excitement a few moments before they finally saw eachother.

Love these boutonnieres! A few nights before the wedding a few friends and I helped out the amazingly talented Kati Smith to make all of the bouquets and boutonnieres. So I may be a bit biased, but I think they are AWESOME! :)

Okay, So I have a confession to make. I LOVE the photos of Kelly dancing with her Dad. I originally thought seriously about making an entire post of just those photos. But I decided to spare you all and limit it to 3... :)

Proud Dad... You can see how much he loves his little girl!

Having fun together!

I'll end with this cute shot of them cutting their cake!

Be Blessed & Be Thankful!
