one year

this past weekend wesley and i went to the beach to celebrate our wedding anniversary. it was such a sweet weekend, much like our actual wedding weekend, but without the stress that weddings sometimes bring! we didn’t end up gifting each other with anything, but i actually liked that about our celebration. it wasn’t about presents or anything materialistic. we celebrated our love for one another and the One who loved us first. after this weekend, i think we both came away with thankful hearts. we are so very blessed to have one another.

this weekend, we started reading through the great divorce by c.s. lewis which may sound ironic, but it’s not at all about marital divorce. it’s an excellent and quick read if your looking for something that will challenge you in an unconventional way. we also brought our instax mini along for the ride and kept it by our side the entire trip. i really do love that little camera. at some point, i may scan these little pocket-sized photos, but i’ve become more and more disillusioned with our scanner lately… does any one have suggestions for a scanner that really gets the job done?

audrey + jordan: part uno

this monday morning i present to you the first half of our engagement session with two of our best friends and funnest people we know. audrey + jordan are one of my favorite couples in this world because it’s so very obvious how perfect they are for one another after being around them for only a few minutes. these two are without-a-doubt some of the funniest and funnest friends we have, which says a lot because we are thankful to have a lot of hilarious and fun-loving friends! but the best thing about these two is their hearts. all laughter and joking aside, audrey + jordan are dear friends of ours and our friendship with them goes beyond just laughter. on top of all that, these two recently returned from a long-term stint abroad sharing the love of jesus christ and serving people in need. you might be able to guess where they lived based on a few of the items they brought to the shoot. we are so honored to stand next to them on on their wedding day and were so blessed to capture their sweet relationship during such an awesome time in their lives! we love you guys!

venice

i knew this day would come… the day when i posted the last few shots documenting our time in europe. if you’ve been keeping up, then you know that we took a week-long jaunt through the netherlands, belgium and italy to conclude our time abroad. we’d been to rome before and venice seemed like a unique and, of course, romantic way to end our trip… plus, let’s be honest… we were on a budget and it was the cheapest place to fly to from belgium. i won’t lie, we were pretty tired and by the time we got to venice we were ALMOST in the let’s-just-get-home phase of our trip, but then we devoured two large pizzas and everything turned out for the better!

we were in venice for the opening day of the world renown biennale di venezia, where only 1 artist is selecting from each country all over the world to display their work! visiting art exhibits from artists all over the world was a fun addition to our trip! also, unbeknownst to us, leonardo dicaprio and blake lively were driving around in water taxis (thanks people magazine!) that weekend too! but more importantly, our schedule consisted of eating pizza and walking until we became hungry which then led us to eat more pizza. i’m pretty disappointed in the fact that i have absolutely NO pictures of pizza for this blog… hmm, i guess we’ll just have to go back! destination italy wedding anyone?

audrey + jordan: a teeny, tiny preview

hello blog world! today’s post is nothing short of greatness. i know, i know, it’s only 1 image, but this one picture is of two people so near and dear to our hearts i can’t even stand it! i’m not allowing myself to write a lot today because i would (and probably will in the full post) write a page long story about these two crazy kids and best friends of ours! i had a hard time deciding which photo to leak only because we had a bit of everything… (sweet, sassy, silly, risque…etc.) but i just LOOOVE the light in this image and found it perfect of them!

ashlee + connor

ashlee + connor are SO much fun! these two precious people are currently in school at samford university and getting married in june 2012! connor plays football and his sweet fiancee is a tiny little thing with a smile that could make anyone’s bad day better! connor proposed at birmingham’s botanical gardens, a place they often spend time together, so what better place to document their love story then right where it grew up. hanging out with sweeties like ashlee + connor reminds us of just how much we love our jobs!
