it would be impossible for me to love ashley and blake more.  these two have such a realness about them.  i loved their story and can’t wait to share more of it with you.  it was a little chilly when we shot, but their love managed to keep them both warm. ;)

engagement session on the land you grew up on with your grandmother’s quilt near the hay your boyfriend proposed to you at?  check.

i love how much blake makes ashley smile and laugh.

part of their story involves how they met at atm and then blake moved to california to become a fancy schmancy animator. (you’ve seen boardwalk empire right?  he basically makes each episode all on his own.)  anyway, every so often he comes all the way in from california to hug ashley.  it looks like this.
(give it time to load.)

thanks for sharing your awesomeness with me.

a little while ago samantha and zach got married at castle on the lake in jacksonville, tx.  it was gorgeous.

la tee da flowers makin’ everything look fancy.

i LOVED zach’s reaction when he first saw samantha.  i love how the two of them had so much time to just talk and spend a few moments together before the madness that is a wedding day.

this is their daughter.  she won the cute contest for the day.

thank you guys for trusting me with your day.  i had a blast!

so, last month we took a little family vacation to disney world.  it’s kinda our favorite place. :)

i love this guy.

i don’t know who this girl is but someone needed to take this photo so i did.

to the lady in pink.  thank you for “enhancing” our photo.

we celebrated 10 years of marriage at ‘ohana.  it was yummy.

danielle always kills all of us at this attraction.  she is legit at the space ranger spin.
merlin ain’t got nothin’ on my wife.  she packed 6 people for a 2 week vacation in 1 suitcase.

and, if you are still in the mood for more, you might like this little music video we made while we were there.

am i allowed to love everything about lisa & rory’s day?  i hope so.  i connected with these two instantly  on their engagement session and knew their wedding day would be super swell.  they did not disappoint.

la tee da flowers doin’ what they do so well.

they met at the hospital where they work.  their hearts beat for each other. (get it?  ha ha!)

a little bit of first look magic.

i love wedding parties that laugh.

cmb djs always make a wedding reception more cooler. :)

thank you two for trusting me with the launch of your marriage.  i had a blast.

sometimes couples ask me if the mug machine is worth having at their wedding.  we’ll, that depends…

do you have friends with long hair?

do you want your groom to make out with a bird?

do you long for world peace?

do you have any tiny sith’s in training?

did you bring your own guns?

do you have lots of friends?

if you answered yes to any of the above questions. you probably should go ahead and have the mug machine at your wedding.
