Here’s Diana while she was getting ready – so beautiful and happy!

And the back of her dress? So elegant and romantic!

Diana and Jake had the ceremony at the Bell Shoals Baptist Church. The ceremony was attended by friends and family:

I just love how their entourage look – the bridesmaids are so classy and the groomsmen so dashing:

It was a beautiful and solemn event, and I felt really blessed to have been there. There was singing and praise, and I got chills seeing how connected everyone was:

Diana looked so lovely, and the glances that she and Jake gave each other just melted my heart:

And finally, the moment that everyone was waiting for:

At the reception, here’s what greeted me that had me sighing and smiling:

The boys clowning around:

More lovely portraits:

And how cute is this little girl? I love her to bits!

I left Diana and Jake’s wedding so full of warmth and love. These two people devote so much of themselves to each other, and still have a lot left to give to the people around them. I feel lucky to have known them and to have been part of their special day.

So here’s to Diana and Jake: your love story is made for the books. It’s something to tell people about for a long, long time.

“They walked on, without knowing in what direction. There was too much to be thought, and felt, and said, for attention to any other objects.” – Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

When I met Rachelle and Daniel, I couldn’t stop thinking about this scene in Amelie. It’s one of my favorite films. If you talk to me about France, and French movies, ah, prepare to hear me sigh, and sigh again. Amelie is one of the most romantic stories ever, and Rachelle and Dan are one of the most romantic couples I’ve ever met. They were at Disney to celebrate Rachelle’s birthday but it turned out to be more than just that.

The lovely couple:

While they were at Epcot, they decided to walk by the France section of the World Showcase. There, with the Eiffel tower creating a fantastic background and setting the mood, Dan proposed to a very surprised Rachelle. It was the stuff made of dreams. And we sought to recreate the moment for their engagement session, which just melted all my bones!

Dan, the romantic:

And Rachelle, who can’t help but tear up all over again:

I am filled with joy whenever I see these two:

And you know what I’ve noticed? Time seems to stop for the two of them with just one look:

And they always seem to make each other smile, it’s adorable:

Rachelle and Dan have been together a long time. Eight years! Simply amazing.

True love does exists, says an old man at the Two Windmills bar, where Amelie works. And I can’t tell all of you how extraordinary it is to be a witness to such a thing. When Dan proposed to Rachelle, she asked him, “Are you for real?” Oh yes. Everything between the two of you is so real and genuine, my dear.

I can’t wait for the wedding you guys!

Friday Five are things that make me swoon and all that jazz. These amazing people make me love what I do even more!

They are so comfortable with each other and a natural in front of the camera! I think when you reached that point in your relationship – that closeness, when you can let your hair down and be yourself, and find that your partner loves you just the way you are – it’s a rare treat, no?

Some black and white shots – so sexy and romantic!

They said that laughter is the closest distance between two people. I think it’s one of the truest things in the world. To Brynne and Matt – I look forward to your wedding! Keep smiling
