Two Years

As I sit here staring at this blank text box, I can hardly believe it has been two full years since our perfect wedding day! Two YEARS! It still feels like yesterday - the butterflies, the warm sunshine, the white gown, the big band, the flowers, the "I do's" - I cannot believe how fast time has flown!

I told Strom last night I can't even remember what it's like to not be married to him. I guess he just completes me that much! In this life, with the Lord at our center, we are complete. Like peanut butter and jelly, cream and sugar, and bread and butter. 

Sometimes we have these little moments... where life becomes so simple, and the smallest things conjure up a sense of childlike awe. We each know when it happens, because the other starts laughing and asks, "Are you having 'a moment'?" But in these moments, I still can't believe how blessed I am. How blessed we are. I'll just look at him and smile and say, "You're my husband!" He smiles and thinks I'm cute. "You're having a moment, aren't you?" Yup. A precious moment of complete gratitude for the life God has given us. For these last two amazing years together. For an adorable roof over our heads, for a life to call our own. 

I want to say I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store, but I'm so happy living right in this moment... I don't need to see much further down the road than this.


To my precious husband, who is my other (and better!) half... Thank you. For this little life we have built together! I have adored it for two full years now. Happy Anniversary, my Love! To today and many more! *Cheers*

Woodlawn Manor Wedding: Brooke & Joey

I have gone back and forth on whether or not to post the weddings I have been blessed to shoot here on my personal blog. I didn't know if it was appropriate! But I have decided to share them with you because they are a part of my personal life! These experiences are shaping the direction of my professional life and I am taking you all along for the ride!  

Back in August I had the opportunity to second shoot for Lindsay of Lindsay Gray Photo at the beautiful Woodlawn Manor in Sandy Springs, Maryland. 

Although the rain we had chased the whole day through won out in the end, Brooke & Joey's wedding day was filled to the brim with friends and family as they gathered to celebrate such a special day!

As the ceremony music slowly began, the rain just let loose! For the absolute mess it became, the wedding party and guests were amazing troopers!!
Brooke & Joey's precious little girl! Loved her sweet face!
Just as we got started with the portraits, the rain returned!
 Is that not the cutest Groom's Cake you ever did see?
First dance!
Father + Daughter dance - these dances always make me tear up!
