One day I received a call from loooooong-time family friends and fellow photographers Mike and Marti Beauchamp. They were passing a long a wedding referral for a date they were already booked up on.

Then came the call from John. He and Brandi were planning a small, second wedding and we just went from there. They were planning from out of state so while we didn't get to meet in person - I'd heard that they were very nice people (Brandi's from here originally). Well, I'm happy to report that they were, in fact, super nice. =) And in love.

Here's just a quick look at their big day.

We recently spent a weekend with this pretty dang perfect 9-month old (how!?!) and her rad mom and dad. Love this family to pieces - some of our very best friends. Like homies fo life. =)

Anna is a school counselor and John's a teacher. The steps inside the school had just received a fresh coat of bright purple paint. Anna thought that'd be a fun location, and frankly, I couldn't agree more. Since we were already there, we just decided to stick around and play up the school theme.

Here's a few shots:

Bethany is a friend of Rachel's and some other super sweet girls I know. She e-mailed me after Rachel's wedding and before I was even a couple sentences into it, I just had a feeling Bethany and Brady were going to be a great match for us.

Now, with their engagement session under our belt, I have zero doubts. =) These two haven't been dating a real long time but when you know, you know, right? Their relationship is wrapped around God and God's love and guidance is no doubt wrapped all around them. They're so in love and it's a great thing to witness.

We met them in Ponca City at the Marland Mansion. We photographed the whole session there and while we probably didn't take the traditional spin on the mansion, I think we got some fun stuff anyway. We fought some pretty breezy conditions and kind of hurried through the first half of the session due to the thunder, lightning, and looming rain clouds. BUT - we hardly felt so much as a sprinkle until we'd taken our last shot and were heading back to the car.

We had such a great time with these two. Can. Not. Wait until their wedding later this fall! Bethany and Brady are truly beautiful... from inside out. You'll see...

Ross and Amanda got married! They had a small, sweet wedding at the church we grew up in. Amanda was gorgeous and their daughter Ellie made the cutest little flower girl! =)

There just aren't words to describe how adorable this little guy is... except... well... adorable! =) Plus, he's super fun and animated too. He even has a bulldog face already!
