The Olsons 🖤 6.19.26

I had the pleasure of meeting Courtney and Connor last fall for their engagement session. They brought their three rambunctious dogs who were just too excited to have their photos taken. They were very laid back and reserved, at least toward me, but very kind and "go with the flow".

The wedding day was no different. When I arrived, Courtney was outside with a huge smile on her face to greet myself and the video team for the day. She was full of excitement and none of the anxiety I'm used to seeing. She did a first look with her dad and Connor. Before she saw Connor, her mood and excitement reminded me of a little kid, giddy with joy and anticipation. When they finally saw one another, they couldn't remove the smiles from their faces. They were truly two friends, who couldn't wait to be husband and wife. They shared private vows that they wrote for one another and for their ears only. Their crazy dogs even made an appearance and took a walk down the aisle with them!

The weather was PERFECT, along with the joy and love coming from all of their guests. Everyone welcomed me in and were so fun to work with. The wedding party was even nice enough to laugh at my silly attempts at humor during the formal portraits. Courtney's dad was surprised with a birthday cake after he was kind enough to share his special day with his daughter and her new husband! The night ended with fireworks, two sing-a-longs, a private last dance and a bright sparkler send off. I felt completely welcome and surrounded by love with these two and their guests. Congratulations Mr. + Mrs. Olson!

The Fryers 🖤 6.12.26

I first met Jenna and Chance for their engagement session at their ranch in West Sunbury. I was excited to travel back to my childhood to take the most STUNNING engagement photos I think I have ever taken to date. It was an added bonus that it was a football night and we could hear the marching band taking the field- the nerdy band geek (dancer) in me was thrilled. We had the best time and somehow, the golden hour we were gifted with just kept becoming more and more beautiful. They were so funny and just fun to be around and they genuinely enjoy being in one another's presence.

Their wedding was no different. The day started with the fear of poor weather but instead, we were gifted with another beautiful golden hour. And when I tell you Jenna looked beautiful, I mean she was literally GLOWING. I got to capture the wedding and love story of a real life Barbie-Ranch Edition. The love and excitement flowing from Chance as he watched Jenna walk toward him was truly heartwarming. He knows what a gift he has in her sent to him by the Lord Himself. What an absolute blessing they are to one another. I hope that I get the opportunity to ride along for the other exciting moments in their lives.
