We’d planned golden hour portraits following the sparker departure. We didn’t foresee that a thunderstorm would leave us soaked or that a hearty drizzle would remain falling throughout the night. But, Grace + Jeremy didn’t hesitate to venture under the open sky for a few more moments to romance in the rain.

Jeremy + Grace.
There is sweetness in spending your wedding day in the places most familiar to you. Having your makeup and hair styled by your sister and friends, within your childhood home, wherein you spent countless sleepovers where secrets were entrusted. Now, a love from the other side of the world returning with you to share vows under the blue sky at a park just minutes away. During the reception a sudden torrential thunderstorm left everyone and everything soaked. Their smiles merely grew wider. As they journey away from their own homes and create a new one together, my prayer is that they will always handle all storms of life with joy in their hearts.
This blog post could not contain all the happiness of the day! Thus, another post is shared here: Jeremy + Grace’s Rain Soaked Portraits.

A family session with the McClellans with a glowy summer sun, a jeweled bee quilt made by momma, star sapphire baby eyes, and lots of wildflower field snuggles.
School day sweethearts.
A rescheduled wedding due to a global pandemic. Forever a part of their love story.

Jacob + Emily win the award as my most adventurous couple ever. It was like something out of the “Going on a Bear Hunt” song to get to this field (over the thigh high grass - swishy swishy, through the mud - glop glop glop, over the broken bridge - eek eek eek) except instead of a bear that chased us home it was mosquitos! But, they remained so sunny throughout! And, I think we captured some glorious shots.
Terrifyingly, I lost my car key in the field where we were shooting! By the time I realized it was gone, it was minutes away from complete darkness…and I had no way to get home. Emily and Jacob’s families took a sojourn with me to the field to help me look and GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST I found it! It was a miracle and I still feel a bit shook!

Jacob fell in love with Emily dancing with her on a dock in their college town.
Can you spot their signature dance move? It’s a hoot!
As they dance, through their years, may their arms be stronger wrapped in each other and may their feet feel light even as they hobble.
After Jacob’s + Emily departed they snuck back to take some gorgeous sunset portraits. They are here.
