twenty four.

So today is my birthday and I’ve got a lot to be thankful for. I have amazing parents who always support me immensely with whatever crazy thing I decide to pursue, rad brothers who I consider my best friends, and a beautiful fiance who I’m pumped to be married to in 15 days. Life is good and I’m blessed to be able to take photos for a living, do what I love, and support my soon-to-be wife in the process.

And what post is good without a photo? So why not 20?! I just ordered some prints for our wedding, so here are a few snaps from our engagement sessions with our wedding photographer Jay Eads and our good friend Sean Flanigan.

But everyone loves a candy bar, so I had to share.blogevanali-1904Ali pulled a little trick on all the single ladies by throwing one bouquet that was really three seperate flowers.
