Sometimes we all go to weddings and it’s just routine, the bride and groom don’t even seem interested in each other and you just can’t wait for the ceremony end early and the cake cutting to happen soon after dinner so you can make your goodbyes and get out of there. Derek and Jamie’s wedding couldn’t have been further from that. These two helped me remember what weddings are really about, seeing how they looked at each other with SUCH a genuine joy and love was simply amazing. Congrats, you two! Enjoy your honeymoon as I already know you will.

{EVAN+ALI} are rad and we had a great time shooting their amazing wedding!

It was so rad to see Evan’s dad with such a proud smile while looking at his son.
I just LOVE this photo of Ali that Maddie took just as she was leaving the bridal suite to see Evan for the first time.

Evan was so surprised that their moms had snuck in the back to see too. It was emotional for all involved :)
Another awesome Maddie moment. They exchanged notes and these two photos were taken at the exact same time by the two of us!




Kayne shades for the win?


There was just something that was so cool about Evan’s dad at the door to the church as people arrived.
Maddie and I were taking a water break right before the ceremony when I was informed by her to grab a shot in some “epic light”. Glad I did.


Love having the two angles here!
Another awesome capture by Maddie right as they exited the ceremony.
Decided to have Maddie drive so I could snipe the newlyweds out the sunroof :)

Ali had so many details covered that it’d take a whole blog post just to cover them. But everyone loves a candy bar, so I had to share.
Ali pulled a little trick on all the single ladies by throwing one bouquet that was really three seperate flowers. And man, these girls were intense about being the ones to catch them!
