Rose Garden Elopement: Ashley & David

I’m gonna start this story off by noting that the couple arrived separately, but with very similar spontaneous entrance dance moves. (I took this as a clear sign that my evening is likely to be quite enjoyable)
Prior to that, I spent a few moments with the little humans, and they kept running so fast that their shoes couldn’t keep up. (Also most excellent; note to self, do not buy those slow shoes.
Just about everyone who showed up commented on Ashley’s hair looking amazing. My husband even noticed. If you somehow didn’t notice, you can fix that now. I’ll wait.
Also - a first for me - first wedding jumper! I was SO excited! More wedding jumpers please!
Spontaneous dance moves showed up constantly, and I’d just like to take a moment and note that I think the world should include more spontaneous dancing.
And the poses! I can’t take credit for like…half of these, but what I can do is tell you that this family spends a LOT of time making memories together. Their pose game is strong!
I want to say that I could have spent the entire evening with these folks, but I think I used up every smile muscle I had in the brief time we spent together. And did it all over again going through the photos, trying to pick a few favorites. See below for the few.
Ashley and David, I wish you a lifetime of laughs together. Thank you so much for including me in this very joyful and wonderful event.

Senior Pictures! Sarah: Class of 2022

So, I’ll remember Sarah’s session forever because…
As we’re taking pictures by the water: picture, picture, chit chat, picture…Then...I get distracted by something a bit behind Sarah.
OMG there's a ... is it... OMG. OMG. Arms flailing. all of it.
Sarah's like... You see a pelican? (I nod. a lot). And you aren't sure it's a pelican? (Again much nodding). And you haven't ever seen a pelican before? (my head is ready to fall off from profuse agreement at this point). It is! It is a pelican! You are seeing a pelican!!
Obviously, if you ever encounter a situation that includes Sarah and charades, pick her for your team. I’m not good at charades. I have no idea how she deciphered that. But it was the actual best.

An Evening at The Vue: Bonnie & Steve's Wedding

I can’t describe what it’s like to be an engaged person during a pandemic, but I can applaud the perseverance, flexibility, grace, and thoughtfulness each of my couples have shown as they’ve made difficult, nuanced choices for how to move forward with their days. This day was a perfect one for a wedding - maybe one of the nicest evenings I’ve ever spent on the balconies at The Vue. Enjoying Bonnie & Steve’s toasts from loved ones while being surrounded by this lovely orange glowing sunset was (for me) very much worth the wait. Thank you for including me, Bonnie & Steve!
