That’s right, another wedding for you to ooh and ahh over this week!! Dahlen + Laura’s wedding was full of sparkle and laughter. Despite the chilly temperatures, I think it’s safe to say everyone had a wonderful time!

Told you it was full of sparkle – just check out all the bling Laura was wearing! :-)

Before Laura’s dad presented her to Dahlen, he had a few words to say, and it was definitely the funniest/sweetest thing I’ve ever seen at a wedding! Dahlen + Laura – you two have such awesome, caring families, that to me felt like one big, happy family – not two separate ones coming together for your wedding. That, in and of itself, is something to cherish!

Sorry, Dahlen, I *had* to share this one!! You see, Dahlen’s cousin (an amazing singer) sang “Marry Me” during the ceremony, and all of the bridesmaids + Dahlen started to tear up. So much so, that a tissue was handed from one bridesmaid to the next, and eventually passed to Dahlen. :-)

Dahlen + Laura – Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for entrusting me to document your wedding day! You and your families were more than wonderful to work with. I hope you are enjoying that warm Arizona weather while looking back on your big day! :-)

Gosh, I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of photographing weddings! Especially when they include so many exciting, pure, sweet, lovable moments such as these…

First looks get me EVERY TIME!!

Sometimes the hands say it all.

I was so happy with the blue sky on Michael + Megan’s wedding day, I had to do a photo with the wedding party as well! :-)

This next photo was on Megan’s wish list – hopefully it’s one they’ll treasure forever!

Thanks, Michael + Megan for inviting me to be a part of your big day! It was a treat seeing so many familiar faces, and to watch you two become Mr and Mrs! I wish you many, many years happiness!

Hellooooo sunshine!!! Starting off with my (two) favorite(s) from Eric + Allison’s engagement session!

I absolutely LOVE it when my couples feel comfortable enough around me to be their giggly selves – Eric and Allison, you guys make ME smile with your happiness! :-)

Five words: WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!!!!

Whew, that feels so good to finally announce that!! We’ve only told a few close friends and relatives, but now that we’re half-way to meeting our little monkey, it’s time to officially share it with the world… or… the handful of you who read this blog regularly. :-)

Baby C is due mid-January and ‘mom-to-be’ has been feeling pretty normal. Plus, things I typically feel guilty doing are now encouraged – taking naps, snacking between meals, and wearing yoga pants in public. Okay, maybe that last one is not so much ‘encouraged,’ as it is ‘less frowned upon.’ ;-)

Hope you had a wonderful August as well!!

I love it when a couple is so excited to get married, that it shines through their smiles all day long. That’s what happened to Tim + Teresa – you’ll see. :-)

Above right and below right – amiright or what? Those megawatt smiles say it all – they can’t wait to be husband and wife!!!

Again with the smiles!!! :-D

Thanks, Tim + Teresa, for 1) being head-over-heels in love and excited for the beginning of your marriage, and 2) for inviting me to be a part of your day. I hope you’re having a wonderful honeymoon and I can’t wait to show you the rest of your photos when you get back!! Congrats again, I wish you two all the best!
