jake & jess

What a beautiful couple and a beautiful day! Jacob and Jessica Yavisille were married at Jacob's childhood home which is a log cabin! Attention was given to every detail, the ceremony took place on a large pond in the front yard and the reception was set up under white tents. Tulip did all the florals and she is off the hook, the table tops were amazing and the dancing went into the wee hours of the night. It was breathtaking. Thanks Jake & Jess! So glad that I got to be a part!

The Youngs

Mike and Katie's wedding was so beautiful. It was so sincere and moving, I was brought to tears! It was a precious evening full of spirit and beauty. Their was a strong sense of family reflected in details like her grandparents bible and cake topper, this along with the natural colors they chose inspired nostalgia. So I took the photography in a vintage direction. I love these photographs.
