He is a special education teacher and football coach.  She is a high school english teacher and knitting queen.  He thought she had a boyfriend.  But one Saturday night, they ran into each other on Facebook playing poker.  He realized Saturday night poker playing on the internet must mean no boyfriend after all… and so it began.  Then, true to their fun, spontaneous personalities, the two of them planned a surprise wedding — she showed up at her parents’ home full of family on Christmas Eve in a gorgeous wedding gown, ready for her brother to officially announce them as husband and wife!  Now he makes her laugh, and she makes him get that look in his eyes… Kim and Dana, even after 6 months of marriage, your newlywed glow is far from disappearing.

These two kept me laughing… even in the 106 degree heat…

Vavava-voom!

Kim, you are gorgeous. 

Dana & Kim got engaged at Ficklin Vineyards, so they thought it would be perfect to do their shoot there.  And they were right.

Thank you, Kim & Dana — you two are the best!  I still smile every time I think of our afternoon together… it was so wonderful to meet you!!

This couple seriously was loads of fun.  Continuous laughter, a gorgeous vineyard, and the love these newlyweds had for each other was just shining out of them… and I don’t mean from the perspiration in the 110 degree heat… I have so much more to say, but here is just one for now… and it speaks volumes, does it not?

Seriously… when you look at a photo of someone smiling, don’t you find yourself smiling back?  I mean, of course I am not suggesting that the person in the photo can see you… that would just be crazy talk.  But I find smiles are so contagious!!  This is one of my all-time favorite photos… it is from my early years, so its not the best photo I’ve ever taken, but I just love the happiness that is oozing out of it!  This photo of this bride’s smile totally captures her personality… simply beautiful!

Here is a favorite from last week just for fun.  Happy weekend!!

I love the excitement at bridal showers… the bride so in love and overjoyed to see her family and loved ones gather in one place for yummy food and fun presents!  This bride was so laid back, she truly seemed to be having a wonderful time without a care in the world… even with her big event hovering just a couple weeks away!  I must have been quite hungry because I found myself taking many photos of the delicious food… it was so pretty!  Through the crazy games and gifts from grandma that made the bride blush, the party was a complete success thanks to caring and generous friends and family.  Love and laughter to the bride and groom in their new life together!
