If you ever dreamed of a backyard wedding, Lauren & Pat’s special day needs to be added to your list of inspiration. Their beautiful Saturday began with one gorgeous outdoor ceremony and ended with a bang (&& I’m not joking. It had fireworks: so a literal bang!). If it wasn’t obvious, Pat is a pyrotechnics […]

How does one have so many pretty friends? Well to answer this question, you’d have to ask Molly, a bridesmaid of Alyssa. (A girl, I’ve known since she was liiiiittle) I’m uncertain of her secret, but I sure love to reap all the benefits! Case in point: Alyssa & Kevin are gorgeous together. Gorgeous in the […]

This wedding held glamour, magic, a little weather luck, and a whole lot of love! Watching Jessica & Macauley’s special day unfold lightened my entire heart! There was a first “look” hug, a lemon shot, six-tiered wedding cake, cigars, and even childhood-pictures on the bathroom doors :)! The amount of laughter truly magnified as the […]

If I could find an adjective to define these love birds, I’d say they are incredibly warm-hearted. Tim + Maria are two beautiful souls that are a perfect fit for one another!

There are thousands of methods I could use to get to know a couple. These two though, I didn’t send them a survey or ask them obvious “get to know you” questions. I knew Ben was a fellow Hoban Knight (and that alone is something sacred). But it was during their engagement session that my […]

The first time I met these two, I immediately felt at ease. It was probably a mixture of their amazing sense of humor + how completely calm they were. Both of them portrayed a feeling of absolute satisfaction and were adorably in love. I am making a point to say this because it is extremely rare […]

Mary is a beautiful soul. I wanted to start this post off with that statement, because she truly shines. She is not only kind & humble, but she is a light to anyone around her. I knew this a long time ago, when I first met the Neff family in grade school, but it became […]
