Vallery and Josh got married on a scorching hot day, but we still managed to get a few shots on the golf course. Note to self: invest in portable fans!

Slowly she tiptoes behind her soon to be husband. He hears her footsteps grow louder. They both breath deep as she taps him on the shoulder. He turns, her eyes light up, and tears of joy stream down his face. This is why we do this.

Lindsay and Ryan's 'first look' set the mood for the entire day. It was a day filled with love and laughter. As a photographer I love nothing more than when you can go to an event and feel welcomed as a friend. Awesome couple, awesome bridal party, great family...enough said.

These two are my type of people. Good lookin, but can still goof; a photographers dream.

Jackson suprised Lindsay with a photoshoot after his recent proposal. Apparently Lindsay is quite the bloodhound for sniffing out these sort of things. So Jackson was forced to take desperate measurses to keep the proposal on the low low until the big moment. I pleaded with him to let me shoot the actually proposal. I made my case of being stealthy and possesing mad ninja skills, he saw through me.

So I crouched down in a broom closet of the hotel waiting to jump out and catch that "just engaged, deer in headlights, did that just happened, oh my gosh I just got engaged" look. Jackson - in hind sight we really should have gotten code names. I would have been "COBRA" or "Steve".

Josh proposed to Vallery at a castle in Ireland, so for sentimental reasons they chose to take their engagement portraits at the Louisiana Castle in Franklinton. This was a change of pace for us as we followed the stylish "king and queen" around for a fun day at the castle.
