Mr. & Mrs. Maningas, thank you so very much for inviting me to be part of your day. I cannot tell you how honored I felt to be there with you as you began your life together as husband and wife. Enjoy a few of my favorites! ———————————————————————- From the Happy Couple…. 1. What was […]

It’s safe to say that Laura would have happily agreed to be Casey’s bride no matter what the circumstances, but it didn’t hurt that his proposal included a puppy. In December, Casey surprised Laura with a diamond ring and a golden retriever, and this coming September, the three of them will officially begin their happily-ever-after. […]

Last month I got to meet Andrew and BryAnn at her family’s cabin in the Hills, and I left feeling overjoyed that my job involves time spent with smart, kind, genuine people who love each other dearly. Does it get any better than that? We roamed the area looking for light, laughing at Andrew’s secret […]

It was cold. A South-Dakota-in-February-kind-of-cold. And because it doesn’t matter if the person behind the camera bulks up with cold weather attire, I felt that I should at least give Kelly and Lisa the chance to wait for a warmer day.

From the moment I sat down with Calen and Lori, I wanted so badly to photograph their wedding. They are beyond sweet, even more genuine, and love each other for all the right reasons. For their engagement photos, we spent a chilly afternoon in Rapid City. The day included  a cup of coffee at their […]

My first engagement session of 2013 took place last weekend, and had it been warmer, I would have walked around Sylvan Lake with these two all day long. (Although, had that been the case, I think Scott might have joined the fisherman out on the ice.) We chose a very windy day, but as we […]

Her walk out to see him was my favorite part of the day. She wore her most genuine smile and a gorgeous white dress, and he couldn’t help but light up at the sight of her. After all, she would be his wife in just a couple of hours. Annie and Danny wanted their wedding […]

I meant to get this posted so much sooner. Like, while it was still 2012. I loved my 2012 couples and their weddings so much, that I struggled to choose my favorites—hence, a delay. To these couples and their families, I am so grateful to have spent your wedding day with you. You are all […]

It’s no secret that I love engagement sessions, and I’ve been so blessed this last year with easygoing, adorable,  head-over-heels-crazy-for-each-other couples.  To each and every one of you, my sincerest thanks for letting me be a part of this sweet time in your lives. In no particular order, here’s a few of my favorites from […]

Do you know what the best part of my job is? No, it isn’t the wedding cake (although it is a perk). It’s the time I get to spend with people who are absolutely crazy about one another—whose hearts are completely full because of where they are in their life. The instant I met Eric […]
