Carloyn and Nick were introduced to each other by Carolyn’s former English teacher. How they hadn’t met before that is a mystery, because they both attended Boston University (where Nick would frequently but unknowingly attend Carloyn’s a-cappella concerts), and must have passed each other a multitude of times, completely unaware. After she graduated from BU, […]

Back in February, we did a special giveaway for Valentine’s Day. In order to enter, all couples submitted their love stories, and we received such magical entries that we extended it to have two winning pairs! One of these couples was Alejandrina and Pablo.

When we stumbled upon this row of gorgeous cherry blossom trees in Santa fe, we couldn’t wait to capture them. We think every bride should do a bridal portrait session, which is the southern tradition of a portrait session of just the bride in her dress before the wedding. It’s one of our favorite traditions […]

Sarah and Lance met in college, where they became fast friends. They admitted that there was always a little flirting, but kept it relatively platonic by going to each other for relationship advice. A few years went by, with Sarah having graduated and Lance in the process of completing his flight school with the Navy, […]

For our five year anniversary, Brandon and I decided we really wanted to take a special trip. We landed on Italy, since it was on my bucket list, and Brandon having been, knew I would love it. I began doing research of what to book the trip through. Wether we should do a travel website […]
