It was really fun to get the email from Laura that she was looking for a photographer for her wedding. This was many months ago, but I still remember checking back to her email address and thinking… hey I know you! As I wrote her back and asked, “Aren’t you Jeremy’s little sister?” I remembered the days I coached her cheer-leading squad when she was only in elementary school. How could she be getting married? And then I quickly remembered how young I was when I was coaching that team so really we are hardly any different now… Right? Right. Since Laura was living in Washington, we talked on the phone regarding her wedding plans and I met with her mom in person to go over things in the studio. I missed out on shooting the engagement session due to the distance but I met with Laura and Micah when they came into town before the wedding which helped us get reacquainted and for me to meet Micah (what a sweet guy!)
Laura’s wedding day went so smoothly and it was obvious everyone was having a really great time. Planning your time line is so important to enable you to relax on your wedding day and something I am happy to help my bride’s with if they are not using a wedding planner. Laura was a beautiful bride and I always LOVE a groom in uniform. You just can’t go wrong there!

Laura prepared for the wedding at the Crown Plaza. Her hair was absolutely perfect – even complete with a ladybug! Hair by Hair Lounge.

Okay so Micah is not taking his eyes off Laura… at all.

I learned what “the bernie” is.

Thank God for the shade a hotel provides when otherwise we would all melt and go blind.










Love Latin Lou of DJ Shane Productions. My fave dj’s.


In addition to the “bernie” I learned about “shake face.” Apparently I am behind on these things. And just look at today’s youth… too many video games?

Top Gun style

Micah got all the guys these really thoughtful cuff links. They all had a different set. So cool.

See? Good times. Watch the slideshow!
Micah and Laura, thank you for your service to our country. It was a pleasure being your photographer and I wish you the very best!
