Brandon and Sarah are some of the most adorable people I have ever met. Not only its their family incredibly beautiful from the inside out. But they treated me like family from the time we met. I adored every minute I had with them and I just loved how much they loved to have fun and loved each other. as you take a peek through this gallery your going to just smile with all the joy you see. I hope you en joy it all just as much as I did. 🙂
As I headed up the hill to McCall the weather and roads just happen to be perfect for this weekend enagement session for Sara and Brandon! Sometimes with our crazy winter weather you just don’t know what you are going to get in the dead of winter, but we were prepared! Warm blankets, hand warmers & treats for the kids. There was only one small series of unfortunate events that took place;) The road into the cabin was so slushy and icy we couldn’t actually get in. Hey but, it was fun trying! And I did leave early so no worries there. The Holiday Inn it was for the night. No worries!
Sara & Brandon wanted to shoot in their favorite little town of McCall, Idaho and can I say they nailed it! I mean this girl was not feeling well at all and by the look of these photos, you wouldn’t even know it. I was so proud of them! The kids were amazing!
Here are a few of my favorites from their McCall engagement session. I can’t wait for their June wedding at Sandstone Vineyards. You won’t want to miss this one, so keep your eyes out on the blog for the rest of their story!
Amber & Ivan’s love for each other was pure magic. I loved watching the way they glanced at each other through the night. The sweet moments, The tender kisses & the twinkle in their eyes of fresh love. It was almost as if there was a little magic in the air . It might be one of my favorite moments of a wedding day. Those sweet tender moments, they are so priceless, those sweet father daughter dances, they melt my heart everytime.
Do fairy tales still happen? Does that night in shining armor still ride in on his white horse to carry his princess off to another land? Does Chivalry still exist? Well ladies I believe when we are faithful and patient in Gods plan, He blesses us in the big things.
Adventure Awaits! Lexie and Reed’s adventure began almost 2 years ago when I was in Japan, Ohh, I should fill you all in I am also her mom and photographer. While Reed came over to go shooting with Travis that might be where it all began, the friendship, the fun, the entertainment and the the joy, laughter and love that has filled our home from that moment on.
From that day forward Reed has become a part of our family, yes including dinners at night. He treats her like the princess we have always wanted for our little girl to marry, he loves God with all of his heart, he works very hard and he has the heart of a servant! it just doesn’t get much better than that. Their personalities balance each other out which we love, it’s a good thing to because she’s got a little sas, which he says he loves’ LOL, I guess we all do, it’s what keeps our home laughing in tears most days. She does bring us so much JoY! and I just can’t imagine it any other way. Congratulations you to and welcome to the family Reed 🙂
So much love & fun….
A perfect day for a picnic.
Nap time anyone?
If only I could have heard what he was saying and what she was thinking:)
the look of love in their eyes, it’s so precious…
The ring, so pretty…
A kiss for a bike lesson? sure why not 😉 seems fair enough.
Bike lessons? LOL
Ivan and Amber met in high school. Amber was the new girl and Ivan had been there all his life. He said Amber was different from other girls and he wanted to get to know her. Ivan was just a tad too shy to ask for her number so his friend had to do it for him. Soon after that we started talking, and then than became like the best of friends and went everywhere together. Since that day, Ivan and Amber have been inseparable. They are still best friends and have always have fun everywhere they go. This last summer they decided to do a California road trip. One of their stops was Huntington beach. The sun was setting and Ivan took Amber for a walk on the beach. It was there that he got on one knee and asked her to marry him.
Cathy Jo & Tim are some of the most giving people you will ever have the pleasure of knowing. It was truly my honor to be able to be apart of this beautiful elopement with just a few family members present. Don’t worry Y’all the big Christmas wedding and party she has always dreamed of for 2017 is just around the corner.
