Again, being laid back and easy going on your wedding day leads to wonderful, relaxed images.

Leah + Nick have become so much more than clients to us. They approached us about their Wednesday wedding, yes Wednesday, and their unique and exciting ideas, and we fell in love.

This particular Wednesday was 9.9.09 and their anniversary. It was so cool~!

This blog post has WAY more images than any blog post in the past. That’s because they did everything right. When you think about photography and how to best create a photogenic wedding and a great time line, these are the images that can happen:

Danielle + Mike hired us like 15 years ago (2, really) and I cannot believe that their wedding has now come and gone. I have been staring at their names on my calendar for so long that it seems weird to be done with the wedding!

Their entire day took place at the Bay Point Golf Club. We love it there! The ceremony site is so wonderful and the staff are incredibly helpful.

Annie + Brian are one of our out-of-town couples. We did not get a chance to do an engagement session with them, but this time, it didn’t matter~! They are an amazingly stylish and outgoing couple. The stars must have aligned this day because I had a very hard time narrowing down the choices here, so enjoy an extra large blog post~!
