It’s been a while since we’ve experienced a Midwest winter- I kinda love how the muted colors and grey skies make our favorite people look so vibrant! 
SO MUCH GRATITUDE for this wild year and the truly beautiful people and their families that have trusted us to capture their closeness. The appreciation and support we get from our couples makes us want to cry and do this forever! Filmed at the beautiful wedding of @chandaferguson11.11 and @profxavier11 at the gorgeous @hemlock.springs 
Here is a photo of the most interesting person I know and using the word love barely begins to cover it. The devotion and admiration I feel for this man freaks me out sometimes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Curiosity is his oxygen and the wheels turn constantly- problem solving and deep diving into complex tasks. Somehow, he’s good at everything. One day he mentions something and the next week he’s mastered it. The focus can be so intense, a full day can pass without him remembering to eat. He is gentle, nurturing, and always ready with a joke. Whenever I excitedly explain a grand road trip or camping plan, he smiles sweetly- knowing that despite my energy around the idea, he’ll be doing most of the driving and heavy lifting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He loves people and makes friends so easily- from strangers in line at the grocery store to the guy that comes to fix the WiFi. His heart is open wide to the world and I’m so grateful he’s a part of mine. 
If you would’ve told me in 2016 that one day I’d be photographing amazing people all over the country (with my hilarious and helpful husband) I would’ve laughed politely then whispered to my mom about how crazy you are. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A month ago we got to shoot in Chicago and we looooved all of the new textures and cityscape. And yes it was COLD but Rachelle and Nick just goofed off with us and gave us a bomb walking tour of the city! Still PINCHING MYSELF that we get to share awesome experiences like these with new friends! 
“You guys HAVE TO BE KIDDING. The pictures are OUT OF THIS WORLD. I couldn't be happier, or more impressed. You guys are magicians with pretty eyes and great hair. Seriously. I don't know how you do what you do, but I'm blown away. Thank you doesn't seem like enough, but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. “ It’s hard to explain how much my heart explodes when we get an email like this after I deliver a gallery. Every session is an opportunity to show folks how beautiful their love is! And bonus if they like our hair hahaha - we LOVE our couples so dang much it hurts! And engagement sessions are the bomb, you just bring your funny selves and we’ll do the rest! 
For the THIRD year in a row, we received the Knot’s Best Of Weddings award and DAAAAANG we couldn’t be more grateful for our incredible couples. Like everyone in the world, nothing this year went to plan. But every reschedule, cancellation, and plan B backyard wedding proceeded with so much grace and appreciation on all sides of the equation. It’s made every session and wedding that much more precious and meaningful to us. We’re reminded this year more than most of WHY we love this work: to be of service and capture connection between people in whatever way is real to them. We love love love our clients and can’t wait for group hugs to be allowed again!
