a british girl and a mennonite walk into a church. an hour later, they walk out husband and wife. not much of a punch line, but it’s the truth!
jo and i have been talking about this day for a long time and she’s been dreaming about it for a lot longer. being a textiles designer, she is all about the details…the layering of color and texture and delicate intricacies that the average person might overlook. so you can imagine the focus as she undertook each project and spent months coordinating and creating.
dillon and i have not been talking about this day at all. and i have a feeling he hasn’t been dreaming about it quite as much as jo either. but i tell ya, he was certainly ready to marry his bride. and once the whole “standing up in front of people saying stuff” part of the day was over, he was so happy and relaxed.
family and friends from near, far and somewhere in between came and partied until well after sunset. what a wonderful sight.

mike & susie are a couple of fun loving, outdoorsy teachers who spent the summer preparing for the biggest party they will likely ever host.
we spent some time gallivanting around in the snow in january and i loved seeing their playful nature and obvious care for one another. they can also both dish out their fair share of sass. perfect equation for a great marriage!

back in december, emma contacted me to let me know that she was engaged and would like to book me for the wedding. a couple weeks later, i received an e-mail from a girl named joanne. coincidentally, she had the same last name as emma. she was planning to be engaged and was getting married a week before emma. curious? or maybe not so curious. they’re sisters, of course! and i am so excited that i get to shoot both of their weddings. they have similar personalities, but they continue to tell me that their weddings are going to be completely different…i can’t wait to see what they’ve dreamed up!
i met brandon & emma on the beach and though it had threatened rain, it turned out to be a lovely evening.

i love their story. joanne relayed it to me when we first met and it involves a “hidden” one on one friendship and a series of funny (maybe not so funny at the time) mis-communications. jo left him hanging and poor dillon assumed he was getting rejected. thankfully, they were able to get it sorted and the rest is history!
















august is going to be a good month…i get to shoot this wedding as well as joanne’s sister’s. they’re getting married a week apart!

family. a word with broad definition. a word that has incredible emotion attached to it. a word that cannot be summed up in one picture, or by one “make up”.
megan is part of a big, loving family. a mom, dad, 4 sisters and a brother. the driessens = a large family. megan has a baby. megan + dom = a little family. megan loses her mom which results in a large family with a big hole, yet still. a family. kevin comes along and asks if he can join the little family. with him, comes another large family that embraces the little family as if it were its own. and here we sit with one huge, beautiful family.
kevin and megan’s wedding day was full of life and remembrance and celebration of the hope that is their future together. now that is what i call family.
































this fella got all up in our business and was pretty certain i wasn’t actually going to take a picture of him. he thought wrong.
