Lovely, classy, goofy, and kind all wrapped into one awesome couple.
I was pretty lucky to watch a bit of their story unfold.
They are the kind of people that remind me THIS is why I photograph weddings... to be a part of a wonderful life story.

Chris is so photogenic, I had a blast taking his portraits.

Any advice for future brides and grooms? 

Keep it simple, prioritize what you both want, and really focus on those things.  

Most hilarious moment of your day?

During my sister's (the maid of honor's) toast, we found out that she and my mom had accidentally discovered that Chris and I had ordered an engagement ring about 4 months before Chris actually proposed - but they never told us about that before the reception!

And our nephews Kylan and Kaleb dancing the night away, being the most frequent visitors to the photobooth, and staying up past midnight because they wanted to be there until the end of the party!


What is the best thing you did in preparation for your wedding day?

First - having Kristine as our photographer! She's excellent at her job and really made our day so much more enjoyable, and was so easy to work with.

And also taking the time to come up with a pretty detailed budget and taking stock of all of the expenses that we expected to incur. We referenced the budget throughout the planning process and kept it updated, and it really helped us to stay on track and also to know how much we were spending in total. Going along with that, we made sure to prioritize what was really important for us and we didn't get bogged down with lots of extra unnecessary things.  


Where did you honeymoon?

Hawaii (Honolulu, Kauai, and Maui)

Anything else?

We're so happy with the way our wedding day turned out - we got extremely lucky with the weather, and everything was beautiful and went smoothly. It was amazing to have so many friends and family come together to celebrate with us. It went by quickly but was so much fun!
