It's early to say my favorite but this one is my favorite, actually I love all the images in the staircase!

Melissa!! You are beautiful!

This series just makes me happy:)

Melissa and Patrick like to bowl...officially, they even have their own cute shoes!

so sweet!

Melissa and Patrick are getting married on The Forth of July at one of my favorite venues which is close to some fireworks. So excited!!

If you haven't noticed by now this little one, only 8 days old, is very alert and didn't care much to drift into la-la land but I didn't mind one bit having a precious baby gazing at her parents:)

All so beautiful.

How could this not be the favorite?!

So after snuggling...

and rocking...

and swaddling...

we accepted this sweet little girl just loved being a model and didn't want to miss a moment of being in front of the camera sleeping:)

Congratulations on your sweet little one!! Love!

I know what you are thinking...Brendan and Bridget are made up or something because their names sound so perfect together and they look just so perfect together but the fact is they are very dear friends to the lovely Stephanie. B&B had a small ceremony and dinner in the college town where it all started, Champaign, IL. When Bridget emailed me about surprising Brendan with a session I was excited because you know I love shooting in new locations and then I met the newlyweds and excitement turned to bliss.

Congradulations you two!! Lots of Love!

when you look to the future, don't forget to write to me

I simply didn't think it would happen this fast...babies turning into little people. Soon after that little drops to just people. Grown people, chasing after their own dreams. Yes, I know I am being quite dramatic, but look at them?

For your weekend pleasure, check out the rest of the "when you look at the future" song and Zach Gills "watch them grow" now the intro song to the Family Time site.

Remember Kari and Brad from their awesome session last year?! The roof top of Brad's studio are some of my favorite engagement pictures ever. I've been excited, as you can tell by the massive amount of pictures in this post, for their wedding since we first met with Shelli, talking about metal making its way into the bridesmaids dresses, invitations/programs by M Haley Design, the flowers, place settings and escort cards (Brad made). Seeing all the hard work of this team put together is the best! 

Kari's something old, her mom's purse she used in HS...love it!

Kari, you are beyond cute!!

Best moment of the day, when Kari's mom lifted her veil:o)

I love winter weddings because they make you want to get in close.

In fact, I think it was about 20 degrees so everyone got in close:o)

favorite.

Ready for all the metal details?

*disclaimer-the cake is not made of metal*

Kari and Brad, thank you for having me be a part of your day and have a fabulous time on your honeymoon!!
