It’s not every day that pineapples are used to propose to a pretty lady, but on the day she was proposed to, Kaitlyn was given pineapples by friends and teachers and the day ended with a beautiful sparkly ring on her finger. You see, the pineapple had a special place in Kaitlyn’s heart…

With his back to his soon to be bride, he waited nervously, taking deep breaths and shifting his weight from side to side. Kaitlin could see it and she couldn’t help but smile and giggle as I quickly worked around the two of them. The suspense was killing him! What would she look like? Surely it was more beautiful than he had ever seen her. And what would it feel like? Probably like the full weight of her “yes” setting in compounded with a consuming feeling of gratitude, love, and joy.

After meeting Lauren in person at their State Capitol spring blossoms engagement session, I really wanted to get to know these two better! After all, they showed up in leather jackets, Lauren had combat boots, and Nick had neon red glasses on. It was quite the sight. I remember Lauren saying that she wanted to immortalize that look for their kids!! I was hooked on these two…

One of my favorite parts of a temple wedding is siting around with all the guests, waiting for the couple to come out. Everyone is anxiously awaiting, almost afraid to look in a different directions because they don’t want to miss the grand exit!! Unlike a traditional wedding…

I almost feel like time isn’t fair. It’s slow when you want it to be fast, and too fast when you want it to be slow. This is one of those times where it’s just been too fast!! It only seems like yesterday that I was laughing with Abbey and Cris over our first call together…

If you’re reading this post, most likely you either have a ring on your finger and you can hardly breathe, or it’s just around the corner and it’s like the Christmas morning you’ve waited for your whole life!! You might already be feeling overwhelmed by all the wedding planning that just all the sudden got put on your to-do list! But the good news is that you don’t have to do everything all at once!! Set everything aside for now except these five simple tasks.

She couldn’t stop smiling as we sat there chatting, drinking our hot chocolate and cider. Amy told me about the painful dating process and the reluctant feelings she felt when her friend started pushing to set her up on a blind date. Maybe she said yes because…

With winter comes this quiet stillness with the fallen snow, yet this tangible excitement as the holiday’s approach. We anxiously put on our sweaters, grab blankets, and hot cocoa and use the cold weather as an excuse to cozy up to the people we love….

GET TO KNOW ME

Here’s my question to you:
