Adrienne & Conor

Saturday, November 26th, 2011

oh blog world, I totally forgot to blog about my best friend Adrienne’s wedding. You might remember her from the maternity session I shot for her a few months back. She got married on New Years Day this year, and I juggled the roles of maid of honor and one of her photographers for the day. It was a fun day, really emotional and full of love and sweetness.

Tonight I found myself reminiscing this day, laughing as I looked through the photos, and I finally decided this wedding should be blogged and shared with the world. SO!  Let me get right to it. I can’t wait to show you Adrienne on her wedding day, she made such a stunning bride.

They are a beautiful family, and they just added another little one to their ranks.

The thing I like about Conor & Adrienne is how comfortable they are in their love with one another. They fit together just like family, just like they’ve always been together. That kind of comfortable safe constant love is refreshing and sweet to witness.

The wedding favors (shown here on the right) were homemade ready-to-bake cherry pies in mason jars. All of Adrienne’s details were DIY. She’s probably one of the craftiest women I know, hands down.

There were also some pretty serious mustaches at the party.

And I think I will end her blogpost with this photo below, because if there is one thing that Adrienne does best, it’s being a Mother (there are other things, but this is like HER thing). She is the bomb at that. Love you, A.

Oh and the reception was simply lovely. Samira used so many great details to really capture the mood and theme of the day. I loved the floral fabric at the tables and all the great pops of color throughout.

Okay blog-world. I am the worst at keeping up with my blog, forgive me? : ) You see I have been blessed with so many wonderful wedding clients that my workload of editing and shooting has made blogging time a scarcity. But all that to say, I am going to make up for it right now and share the absolutely stunning and sweet wedding of Olivia and Erik. These two are so solid, so kind, and so genuine. It was my absolute honor to be there on their wedding day. Just take a look for yourself…

I love her tattoo. “Whom then shall I fear?”. That’s the thing about Olivia and Erik, they are both so grounded in Christ that it’s just as evident and visible as this tattoo. They have that kind of bold faith and bright light that you can’t help but take notice of.
