Frances + Justin = engaged

So Frances and Justin like to take care of things early…which is why they are getting married August 1! Yeah so we just did their engagement session last week and had a BLAST! I love that Frances will laugh at any and everything (helps when I’m you’re photographer – I tend to be a dork). I think they are just the sweetest couple and am very excited to see them all dressed up on their wedding day! Here’s some favorites:

Jerrie + Dean – the wedding!

I always feel so lucky when I get to be friends with my clients.  It takes my job, which is awesome already, and makes it just incredible.  I am happy to say that Jerrie and Dean are not just clients, but friends.  They, unfortunately, live in Utah now (thanks a lot, Dean!) but I’m happy that they are starting their new life together with lots of new experiences and possibilities! 

Their wedding day was a fabulous experience from beginning to end.  Both of their families were wonderful to hang out with and made the day so special.  Here’s a few favorite moments from the day:

Saundra’s Maternity Session

David and Saundra are two of the greatest people you’ll ever meet.  David’s heart for ministry and service and living like Christ is evident in every thing he does.  Saundra is his perfect match in every way – sweet, gracious, loving and supportive and ADORABLE.  Saundra is the kind of person that can make you smile no matter what kind of day you just had.  She gets excited by the simplest things – she is somehow not tainted by the world and it boggles my mind every time I experience it.  I was privileged to hang out with these two to capture this precious time in their lives.  (thank you!) They are going to be astoundingly great parents and I can’t wait to see it in just a few short weeks. 

Here are my top 5:

Saundra said every night they have a ritual of David playing guitar and then reading to her and the baby from the Bible.  Yeah.  Salt of the earth.

They haven’t quite decided on a name yet for their little boy – but this is him!  Hello!

Leeanna + John = Married!

Leeanna and John got married a couple of weekends ago at Trinity Church here in Lubbock.  They are an absolutely adorable couple and absolutely in love :)  It was so sweet to see John’s face when he saw Leeanna coming down the aisle – tears of joy!  When two of the nicest people I’ve ever met get hitched, I can’t help but be happy all day.  Here’s a few favorites:
