Taylor | Dalton {Engagements}

Hello everyone and HAPPY WEEKEND!

Engagement sessions are absolutely one of the best things about being a wedding photographer! If you are considering having wedding photos taken and are not sure about having engagement photos, let me encourage you...HAVE ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS! (haha) Engagement photos are a great way to get comfortable with your photographer which eliminates added stress on your BIG day! :)

We were so happy when Taylor and Dalton contacted us about their wedding photography. They are both from our hometown (Pottsville) and we have kept up with them through social media for several years. They met when they were in 9th grade and then became high school sweethearts. They are very down to earth and laid back. We had such a great time with this sweet, sweet couple, and the amazing Barn at Twin Oaks Ranch made a beautiful backdrop for their love story.

 I don't know why, but I absolutely LOVE ring shots (and Lance is always so good at them) 

 An antique cooler calls for antique effects :) 

 Taylor you are so gorgeous!! 

We cannot wait for Taylor and Dalton's wedding on Petit Jean this fall!! :) 

Happy, Happy Saturday! 

Jen | Wesley {Wedding Day}

Hello everyone!

Jennifer and Wesley were married on June 15th atop the beautiful Mt. Nebo. It was a gorgeous day and surprisingly not stifling hot (as it was last year in June annnnd like it is today). Jennifer and Wesley's wedding was so, so sweet. It was filled with personal touches and lots and lots of proud family members.

We had such a great time seeing these two love birds get hitched, and we hope you do too:

Under the veil shots might be a tad awkward, but they are totally worth it! haha

We have never done a "Father and Daughter" first look before and we thought Jennifer's idea was so super sweet. Her father's reaction was priceless to seeing his little girl. This was right before they walked down the aisle. 

We were all basically in tears watching this sweet moment unfold. 

 Her veil was to DIE for! 

Towards the end of their reception, someone had the brilliant idea to take a group photo of the guests at the wedding. Some of them probably didn't get to make it in the photo, but I thought this was such a neat idea as well! 

Congratulations Jennifer and Wesley! :) 

 Happy, Happy Thursday everyone!
