You have incredible talent. I am Michelle's great-aunt, her mother's aunt and I live in Texas. I can only say that I wish you had been here when my daughter got married. I thought her pictures were beautiful until I saw yours. Amazing is an overused word today but I can't think of another to describe what you do with a camera. Thank you for letting us see the wedding through your wonderful lens.

I really couldn't have imagined a better way to start off my year than with Trent and Amanda's wedding... I loooooooove them! They're fun, easy going, and madly in love... a dream come true for a photographer :)

Here are some of my favorite photos of the day... Happy New Year!

They wanted LOTS of photos so they decided to see each other before the ceremony... I love getting to photograph this moment:

I love fun socks and shoes!

The flower girl was very enthusiastic about her job :)
