“Lot’s of people think we just met and it’s too soon for us to be getting married”.  I remember that as one of the statements that Kaymoi made to me.  But they meet when they were in middle school and dated for a while in High School.  After some time apart they found their way back to each other and are planning to get married in the fall of 2011.

I love this couple and not just because Brittney is Kyle’s daughter but because theyare so much fun and I enjoyed the day we spent together.  The were up for everything and anything and we laughed a lot.  Thank you guys for making my job so easy.

When we returned to the office after shooting one day there was a message from a young woman who said that Dean had told her to call.  I quickly returned the call because I hadn’t heard from Dean for awhile and was curious to know what he had been up to.

Dean and I met about eight years ago and formed a friendship that has stood the test of time.  He has three adorable sons and a warm generous heart.  He always said he would never give love another try.  He was happy like he was he would say, but the romantic in me didn’t believe him and was always trying to convince him otherwise.

I remember the day he first mentioned her this woman that he had met at work.  He didn’t give a lot of details or even a name but somewhere in the back of my mind I had a spark of hope. 

As I talked with Ashley that day she told me that she and Dean were getting married and he had suggested she call me to see if Iwould shoot their wedding.  I was overjoyed for them both and knew I couldn’t say anything but yes.

That chance meeting over 2yrs ago that he only casually mentioned turned out to be one of those life changing moments.  Dean didn’t know it at the time but Ashley did and she knew he was the one.  After a year and some months it seems he knew it as well because he surprised her with a beautiful diamond and asked her to be his wife.

It was so much fun doing their shoot we met at the chapel where their wedding will take place at the Bride’s request and then moved on to a nearby park.  We spent the afternoon laughing and telling stories and trying to get Dean to loosen up.  As the sun was setting and Ashley’s children arrived Dean’s face lit up as much as it does when he looks at Ashley.

I am so honored and excited to be allowed to capture this making of a new family.  The love I saw between Dean and Ashley when they were looking into each other’s eyes.  The laughter of a child it’s those moments that let me know I have the best job in the world.  I can’t wait until March when they will be married I know it will be a beautiful and laugh filled day.
