When Jen, Kyle, and I all sat down for their initial consultation to discuss their wedding I knew we were going to be a perfect match! Jen is so easy to talk to and I could tell Kyle loves listening to what she has to say! Jen and Kyle told me that they originally met through Match.com, and they joked saying everything just "clicked" from there (aren't they cute?!). . .

Read MoreI'm not sure how to sum up the amazing-ness that was Megan and Shawn's wedding day. . . 1. I love that I have the opportunity to work with truly awesome couples and Megan and Shawn's attitude was phenomenal despite a few weather and transportation setbacks on the day! 2. ALL THE FEELS for these guys as Megan walked down the aisle! Ahh I couldn't wait to share those emotion-filled moments as Shawn saw his beautiful wife-to-be walking towards him! These organic, natural, honest moments are what feeds my creative soul. 3. I capture a ton of gorgeous weddings in all colors, but it's not often that a vibrant color scheme of reds is used! Plus I love that it was Shawn who ultimately decided that red be their wedding color! Megan's bouquet was a mix of so much color and texture and was so different. I think it's so great when couples just go with what they want and infuse their personalities into their day! . . .

Read MoreEmily and Taelor really enjoy being creative and I loved all of the personal details that they incorporated into their wedding day to showcase their personalities.
