MY beautiful bride

I get the awesome opportunity to capture one of the biggest days in my clients lives; their wedding day. Capturing weddings are one of my favorite things because I get a weekly reminder of the commitment I’ve given to MY beautiful bride!Today is her birthday and since I don’t get too many opportunities to show her off, I thought this was the perfect time.
A little over 5 years ago I fell in love with this amazing girlOne of the first things I noticed about her was her fun-loving spirit. She loves making people laugh…..and it’s pretty funny the things she does to make our son laugh!
