Yesterday afternoon, as the sun sparkled and the wind tousled everyone’s hair… (and gave the wedding programs a run for it!) April, Todd & little Maddox became a family. I’m told that when Maddox was asked who Todd was going to marry, he answered, “Mommy & me.” How cute is that?

I fell in love with all three of these cuties while on their loveshoot this past spring and knew their wedding day would be nothing short of joyous. Even the weather seemed happy to cooperate!

After saying, “I do!” there was a strong sense of excitement in the air… this little darling exudes it perfectly!

Congrats guys! Enjoy Hawaii!

What a beautiful couple! The story of Nicole & John’s entire courtship all the way up through the proposal reads like a romance novel. Including things like mutual infatuation, a surprise meet up in Australia, and a ring on horse drawn carriage, is it really a surprise that the road they were on lead to a wedding? :)

Lovin’ that long cathedral veil!

I’m such a sucker for the father of the bride’s toast….. :) Darrel hit a home run.

It just so happened that Aug. 14 was also Nicole’s parents’ 28th wedding anniversary! Darrel and Linda celebrated with a special dance, which included the whole family. I love this!

Party time!

You did it! Congrats!

The love of high school sweethearts must be in the air… Shannon  & Jared are another example of young love that stands the test of time.

(Are you loving her bird cage veil as much as I am!????)

Cute as can be…. one of the highlights of their day was an old video clip featuring Jared dedicating his performance of a Tim McGraw song to Shannon at a high school talent showcase. Classic!

Are you serious!? Lemons were the theme… and it was pulled off flawlessly!

These two cuties are simply adorable. They were all too eager to show off their dance moves (big Michael Jackson fans, apparently….)

Jared’s mom Sue made this cake, and Shannon told me the yellow ribbon came from a fabric collection they saved from her grandmother’s house some years ago. I love special touches like this… they add so much significance.

Jared has such a great smile…. he is beaming from ear to ear!

Have a great trip guys… it’s time to relax and enjoy!

Funny how something as seemingly innocent, like a name… can pack such a powerful punch.

Today was the day that the girl I’ve known for years as Jenny Polson, became Mrs. Jenny Steinhauser. (Has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?) While wrapped up and neatly tied in a beautiful gown, Jenny’s transformation was complete with pink bling frosted shoes (see below). As I arrived, she was just about to open this card from the man now identified as her husband, Jared (aka: Mr. Steinhauser). :)

Big dog lovers, this card was the perfect choice to make Jenny smile (and cry). :)

Accompanying her card, was a beautiful pair of diamond earrings (see below). Nice choice Jared!

Immediately after snapping this photo, Addison asked me in her cute little voice, “Can I see (the picture)?”

I never knew Jenny was so crafty! The three flowers and ribbon under the bust of the dress were all her handiwork… they made the perfect finishing touch on a dress that is now truly one-of-a-kind!

Being part of Jenny and Jared’s wedding was a trip down memory lane. Between swim team, dance team and good ol’ high school in general, it felt like a mini-reunion!

These two lovelies, Lindsey & Nicki, busted out some dance moves in the hotel suite and thought I was kidding when I told them it could end up on the blog…. :) How could I not? Look how adorable they are!

Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something…. blue. :) A great solution for incorporated her grandmother’s blue ring!

Jenny’s craftiness continued with these embellishments to Addison’s dress.

Jenny’s mom looked on with excitement…. :)

Va-va-voom! Love this. (Check the pink shoes!)

Pretty new earrings… courtesy of Jared.

Speaking of…. Jared was anxious to get the show on the road!

Their dog, Herbie, was part of the fun too. He came down the aisle with Ryan… while wearing the rings on his collar, which is also how Jared proposed!

Ryan &  Addison walk Herbie down the aisle…

And…. they’re married! In a wonderful ceremony surrounded by loved ones… they tied the knot (and Jenny got a new last name)!

What a treat! Getting to be part of the family on a special day in their lives… reminds me what it’s all about. Thanks guys. :)  Greece is waiting for you!!!!

The theater lights shone down upon the Lincoln East High School stage, illuminating Dani & Adam as they stood side by side in the chorus of their high school musical, “The Pajama Game.” They began a friendship that at the time, left them completely unaware that some seven-ish years later, they’d find themselves side by side again… only this time, they’d be standing at the church altar. Doesn’t that just give you goosebumps? :)

The epitome of high school sweethearts, their story is as sweet as it is classic. Emir and I are honored to have been invited to share the day with this adorable couple and their loving parents, Bob & Mary and Roger & Jean.

After experimenting with a few fun ring shot ideas… I decided this was my fave. :)

A sweetheart neckline for a sweetheart gal!

Dani’s dad Bob grew these dahlias in his garden! I’m told he is an award winning dahlia grower with all kinds of gorgeous colors punctuating his yard. I imagine it must smell amazing…

L.O.V.E.

After the ceremony, the wedding party drove golf carts to the reception. What a fun idea!

In a screaming endorsement for lighting decoration, I’d like to point out the green uplights along the wall. They were gorgeous and completely transformed the space.

Bob gave several toasts… fondly referring to himself as the FOB (father of the bride). You wore it well Bob!

The wedding party and guests were a sight to be seen (and heard!). They all appeared to feel right at home on the dance floor… moving with ease and grace… they could even be heard singing along to most the songs! Talk about a party!

Congrats guys! Thank you for entrusting us with capturing the beginning of your new adventure! :) Enjoy your trip! (Anna- see you soon!)
