KRISTEN + JASON (A DESTINATION WEDDING IN HANALEI BAY, KAUAI, HAWAII)

Since I just blogged their engagement session in Seattle it seemed like the perfect time to post Kristen and Jason's wedding in Kauai! This wedding was arguably one of the most eventful weddings in the history of weddings. It seemed like all the odds were against Kristen and Jason, including an officiant that forgot Kristen's name during the ceremony (look for Kristen's uncontrollable giggles during the vows). On top of that, it rained all morning long, the caterer was hours late, and flying termites swarmed the reception. May 18, 2014 provided all the ingredients to ruin a wedding day. But Kristen and Jason handled it like champs. They quickly rose above the nonsense and learned to laugh at the mishaps. By the end of the day I couldn't help but feel like their wedding day only proved that they were perfect for each other. I've never been more proud of my clients! And we can all joke about the termites now, thank God. Enjoy Kristen and Jason's destination wedding in the ever beautiful Kauai, Hawaii!

LAUREN + KYLE (A RUSTIC BARN WEDDING IN PENNSYLVANIA)

I’m thrilled to announce that Lauren and Kyle’s Wedding was featured on Green Wedding Shoes! See the full post here: Pennsylvania DIY Barn Wedding: Lauren + Kyle.

I photographed Lauren & Kyle's wedding in September at the beautiful McDonald Barn (private residence) in Seven Valleys, Pennsylvania. From the very first email I received from Lauren I knew we were a perfect fit. Lauren & Kyle are the friends you wish you had. They are the life of the party while still oozing a genuine, pure love for their friends. It's beautiful to be present at a wedding where every single soul at the wedding is bursting with joy for the bride and groom. Lauren & Kyle's love for one another poured into every aspect of their wedding. The amount of detail from the hand-drawn programs to the table decor to dessert for every kind of food allergy/preference imaginable (a personal favorite) was simply breathtaking. I'm so happy to finally show you the photos from their beautiful wedding day!

I'm not big on posting every first-look, but something about this one gets me. Maybe it's because I know how nervous Lauren was. Or how squirmy Kyle was. Or how all of that was forgotten the instant they laid eyes on each other.

Lauren & Kyle's wedding was home to some of my favorite things: beautiful lighting, cats and good tattoos. This guy filled all 3 quotas.
