jonathan+angela| wedded bliss

It was the first day of the year. A day when resolutions are made and plans to live better promised. For Jonathan and Angela it was just that: a day when they would be making resolutions and promises...to each other.

From the moment I met her, I could tell Angela was a sweetheart. Her affectionate nature is ever present with one flash or her sweet smile. A smile that instinctively becomes bigger when Jonathan's name is mentioned.
Jonathan is the ideal gentleman who thinks the world of Angela. His fun-loving and excited energy was infectious throughout the entire wedding day. Together these two began the new year with the pledge of a lifetime of love.

Jonathan and Angela decided to wait until the ceremony to see each other. I loved his reaction as the church doors parted and he saw her for the first time.

the sun and I had a fight...and the sun won. as a result all the group shots were taken in total darkness

night shots aren't usually my style but I love the way these girls look

thought I'd end with another Beatles-esque one(though this one might be a stretch)
guess who Jonathan has to answer to?
Image and video hosting by TinyPic
ha!
Jonathan and Angela, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day. I thoroughly enjoyed it. All my bests as you start this new year AND new season of life together!

jami+katherine+ariel+caroline+rachel+alisha| friends

As a caravan of cars holding six beautiful girls headed out into the early Saturday morning I couldn't help but think of that phrase "a good friend is hard to find." Not only had these girls beaten the odds, they had beaten them times five. Five friends who would laugh and cry with them and share moments worth remembering. 

Faithful blog followers may remember the five giggly girls from awhile back. Well a year or so passed and those five friends became six. So of course it was time for round two.

Jami, the mastermind behind the session, wanted some pictures with her pup before we got started.
