i can’t wait to get the rest of these up (:

Dan and Rachel are a husband and wife photography team up in Cedar Falls, Iowa.  So of course when they contacted us to do their photos, we were well…nervous? Scratch that, I was nervous. Beau is always the calm and collected of the two of us. And I just talk a million miles a minute when I am all nervous. Beau has to squeeze my leg under the table to let me know. There the secret is out, I am a nervous talker. Every session I get all jittery, hence the reason I can’t drink coffee at least 3 day prior to a session. But especially with these two, because they are photographers.  But the moment we met up with them, I was fine.

We only had this one day to do the session, they were leaving the next day to go back home. We crossed our fingers that Florida’s skies wouldn’t do the typically afternoon rain dump. And then we added some fairy dust to help with a possible sunset for the beach shots.  I have a friend of a friend who knows Tinkerbell, so we get hook ups of fairy dust every now and again.

Dan just covered Rachel in kisses all day! I love love. (Is that a real sentence?)

gorgeousness!

I adore this shot. We were so excited that we had a little color in the sky. Didn’t think that we were going to get anymore than that.

grrrrrr.

And then BAM. The sun came out in full force with a stunning sunset.

these guys were hilarious. so of course we had to get a picture of them.

doesn’t it look like beau is laying in traffic?

beau likes to shoot from the ground a lot.

just one for now…more to come.

Love it!

Anytime I asked for her “serious face” we would both bust out laughing.

Love her dad’s expression when he first saw her, but what you don’t see is everyone in the room going straight to tears once he got all choked up.

Her lovely bridesmaids, too cute.

The most creative “unity” idea I have seen yet! Previous to the wedding they had painted the brown and blue heart and then joined them with the white heart during the ceremony.

Way to go Courtney, looking smoking even though Kevin was making funny faces at you while you were trying to keep a serious face.

cute cute cute!

Definitely my favorite!

Thought it was time for another compilation of sweet dance moves.

Now you can really see Beau’s bald head!

His head shines now…lol.

Someone has to model for the shots, guess I will do.

Sideline action…oh yah and you may recognize Jessica and Darren on the left there.

Tyler and Krisia like to fish, so what’s better than to have a nice little ole fishing inspired shoot.

I am pretty sure this is my favorite ring shot of all time now!

There were a thousand of these little guys just waiting to be fed.

Her eyes matched his shirt. Purrrty!!

Yah…if you can see, Beau has shaved his head. I likey

i told beau to go crazy on getting some detail shots of the reception

Here is some more fun that was had at the bachelorette party shoot that we did last weekend! holla to my newest sister of almost a year for helping me out on this shoot. She did a great job!

This was about the only serious pose we got of the girls. We couldn’t help but giggle when they tried. But when they got it, hello hotstuffs!

oh yah. Abby’s the one in the pink! HA. LOVE this shot of her, courtesy of C!

outtake from the bed shot that I previewed earlier. too cute not to include!

this proceeding picture makes the sesame street song come to mind “one of these things is not like the others…”

ashley. priceless.

a happy “we are married” spin!

her dress was GORRRRGEOUS!

so i think this is as close to shooting in the dessert we may ever get.  i love those trees in the background!

im pretty sure i melted from their hotness after this shot!

personal fan service
