A wedding unlike any other.
(Truth.)

Let’s dig right into the highlights, featuring a few of the many things I absolutely adored about Ace and Courtney’s wedding.

The last wedding of my shooting season always feels BIG. Moments feel extra weighty and I tend to wax poetic, getting it ready to deliver. And with Megan + Mike, those typical year-end feels ring true.

They’re kind of like the Kennedys.
But with less drama.

Except…

Wanna know a little something about these epic wedding blogs?
I don’t plan what I’m going to write about in advance. Most of the time it’s an organic reflection of the things I’ve been thinking about while I’ve been compiling it, special little details I noticed about the couple or their day, or notes of gratitude that tend to reach far and wide in their subject.

Amanda and Johnny though, they’re stopping me in my tracks. And it’s not for want of any of these things, but a grand excess that’s making my heart swell. Although it makes sense, as A+J aren’t like any other. Maybe we just go on down the line?

It was black. Dramatic.
I had her pose in that dress with some overturned boats in an alleyway off Main Street.
Out of the hundreds of seniors I photographed at my old studio, she did and she has stuck out all these years later for being such a stylish + spunky + sweet package all rolled into one.

This time it was white. Still dramatic but in a more elegant, grown-up fashion. 

She invited me in right away.

First, you shoot the engagement session. 
You get a sense of who your couple is, the first time you ask them to get cuddly and pose for a set of pictures. Sometimes you even get to meet their dog, and you finish your session fantasizing about having a sweet beagle puppy yourself.
