tracey & paul

engagement pictures in Bloomington



Paul works for Oliver Winery, and he was our guide through the many-varied rows of grapes.






These two are so beautiful and effortlessly cool;
I can't wait to shoot this wedding in October!











It's hard to say who is winning this race, except that I'm pretty sure Tracey has mad skills so my money is on her.

kirby + dave

at the Helen Hills Chapel, Smith Botantical Gardens, and the Hotel Northampton





Kirby's florist surprised her with off-season peonies she had been tending in her fridge for months!















I am in love with this moment






















Kirby's mother raised these berries, harvested them, crafted them into lovely, delicious jams, and then gave them away at the wedding. I found this strikingly similar to raising and giving away ones child in marriage, and a meaningful gesture for every lucky recipient.



















Fraylie made this image of Dave & Kirby with the Hasselblad, and it gives me chills it's so beautiful.
