Rachel and Mark...

Hey folks, I'm baaaaaack! I hope you can forgive my blog hiatus, it was a crazy summer and I can't wait to catch this little blogger up to speed. The wedding that I'm choosing to bring my blog back to life with is the one of my dear friends Rachel and Mark.... Rachel is one of my closest friends and I respect her so much as an amazing photographer, and she just has one of the warmest and sincerest hearts EVER. When she asked me to shoot her wedding I think I just about died. I mean, when one of your close photographer friends asks you to be the one responsible for capturing their day, its such a big deal that it compares to the feelings I had when I shot my very first wedding. Super excited and super nervous. It was so much fun though and I wouldn't trade it for anything! Here are some of my favorites so far...

(and there's a LOT!!)
