As good as you make me feel
I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams

Claire and DJ could’ve have ordered up a better day if they’d hand-picked it from a catalog. It was all-over sweet: teary, memorable, pretty. Everything a wedding day for this sweet couple should’ve been. Thank you SO much for letting me be part of your day, Claire + DJ! It was a privilege to second shoot for you. Best wishes and blown kisses!
Gorgeous details: everything was so soft, pretty, and so them.
Claire was seriously one of the most wide-smiled yet chill brides ever. She was not only gorgeous… she had it all together. She was ready for this. Ready to get to the end of the aisle and kiss her man. Ready to be married.
My job was to shoot pictures of the guys getting ready. *GULP* I was super nervous about this one… I didn’t have that much experience shooting with guys, let alone a whole wedding party of guys! AHH!
But these guys made it super easy. *super.*
DJ was a real cutie and very relaxed in front of the camera. About halfway through I realized… “Okay… maybe I CAN do this!”

And by the time I was done, this was me: “I can shoot guys at a wedding and not fail miserably. YAY!”

Claire and her dad had the sweetest smiles for each other all day. I could tell that he was going to miss his little girl. It was precious.
I swear – THIS guy was the cutest one at the wedding. I wasn’t one of those handsome college boy groomsmen who totally stole my heart: it was this guy.
Waiting for his bride. I LOVE these moments.
They DID!

SEE?! My buddy.
These pretty details… so gorgeous and country and summer. Loved them!
Claire’s sister told me that she showed a picture she found on Pinterest to her florist. And it turned out *perfectly.* I loved it… succulents! In a bouquet. Where would this world be without Pinterest?
The Maid of Honor gave such an ADORABLE speech. I’ve never had a sister married, but I could imagine… and so yeah. Maybe I shed a *few* tears with everybody else.
Maybe.
They were wayyyy too good at that. “What do you think?” Claire’s mom laughingly said to me: “Think they practiced?”
This might be one of my favorite pictures I’ve ever taken to date. Uh-huh. SO MUCH PRETTY.
First dances: LOVE THEM.

And these two weren’t bad dancers, either.

And… maybe… a FEW more tears… for this beautiful daddy-daughter dance. Maybe.
