This Saturday our kiddos are going to be a flower girl and a ring bearer for two of their favorite people in the world. Shannon is family to us. She was a nanny for us for two years, and they were some of the best two years of my kid's lives so far. Tim is a guy who everyone likes immediately. The first time I really got to know him was one summer when we got to see him quite a bit, and by the end of the summer I was trying to talk my best friend into marrying him, even though he was quite a bit younger than her. I kept asking Kyle, "How do we keep Tim in our lives forever?"In the next few years Shannon came to be one of our favorite people as she was just the most committed and devoted nanny you've ever seen. She loved us and our kids selflessly...still does...and she had her eye on Tim. We could not have hand picked a better girl for him. It took some time, but they finally got together. They were long distance for a while, and it was fairly normal for our daughter to tell me she talked to Tim on FaceTime with Shannon last night. The long distance was tough and had it's ups and downs, but they made it work. About a year or so later, he asked us to be present at their engagement at one of their favorite places.And this Saturday, Kyle will be performing their marriage ceremony while I photograph it, and cry (hopefully quietly) maybe more than I ever have behind the camera so far.We love, love, love these guys.
griffin's bridal portraits OR red lips all day every day
We haven't blogged in a while, but today it feels like spring down here in Texas. It made me want to blog these beautiful images of Griffin from her bridal portraits last summer. Did you guys know that "bridal portraits" are a southern thing? Sometimes we talk to photographer friends or potential wedding couples in Missouri or Washington or New York and they're like "What are bridal portraits?" lol. The south.But seriously, if these photos don't make you ladies want to put on a wedding dress and red lipstick...then bless your heart.
