There’s not a lot of time left in our heavily scheduled calendar blocks to enjoy one another. To focus outward and love. To breathe. And to celebrate.

I think that’s what was so refreshing about Luke & Julie’s wedding day. They took time to breathe in the day and to truly focus their hearts towards one another. Directly after the ceremony was over Luke and Julie, along with their best man and maid of honor, took a quick drive up to the top of Camelback Mountain to pop champagne, laugh, and have a short intimate celebration as a newly married couple. It was perfect for them, and those close emotional moments turned out some of the more beautiful images from the day.

That was just the small celebration. The appetizer if you will. The real CELEBRATION was still yet to come. Later that evening and deep into the night, Jess and I captured and were part of one of the most fun receptions we’d seen in a long time. Luke and Julie (especially Julie, haha) didn’t hold anything back when it came to partying it up with their closest friends and family! Julie almost wore a hole in the dance floor from her rug-cutting moves. And we witnessed one of the biggest cha-cha slides this side of the Mississippi!

It was really a day to behold firsthand. So many loved ones, who cared so tremendously about these two, put together a fantastically beautiful party for the celebration of their wedding. And everyone breathed in and out for a night together with Luke and Julie.

Everybody that came out cele……….well…you know.

Our honor and pleasure to introduce to you fine friends….Luke & Julie:

A few weekends ago, we had weddings on Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. Needless to say it was a looonnngg, but AMAZING string of days. Here’s a sneak peek of our first wedding of the triple header, Evan & Heather. It was a small intimate ceremony and for sure one to remember…

Twenty.

Two. Zero.

That’s how many bridesmaids and groomsmen made up this HUGE bridal party! And the “strength in numbers” rule definitely applied to the celebration of Brian & Katy’s special day…the party came out in full force.

Check back later for a full glimpse of the day. Until then…a sneak peek:

Evan and Heather are a prime example of what I’m talking about.

We first met this extraordinary couple at our booking meeting, where we get to hear their dreams for the big day and we get to show off what we love to do. These meetings can sometimes be somewhat nerve-wracking simply because we’re sharing our heart and passion, and in the back of your mind you can’t help but hope the client appreciates what you offer and falls in love with your work. Naturally right?

Most of the get-togethers end up being brimmed with laughter and nostalgia. Dreams and hopes. And new friendships. And of course, Evan & Heather fit this bill perfectly. There in a quiet Starbucks on a cool evening we got to hear life stories, share jokes over mochas, and create small bonds together. Enough for Evan and Heather to trust us to capture their wedding day. We never take for granted what an honor it is to us for a couple to trust us and our creativity enough to preserve their wedding day and celebration for history. That simply boggles my mind when I really think about it. We have a great responsibility that we don’t take lightly!

Needless to say, we hit it off well and can’t wait for a couple of weekends away when Evan and Heather join together in front of a handful of family and friends.

We took these two lovebirds downtown to some beat up old industrial buildings to hang for a couple hours and capture some love. They even brought Heather’s 3 year old son Isaiah who’s the coolest little dude on the block, and his Matchbox cars provided for some great images along the way.

Evan & Heather…thanks for your trust in us. We think you guys look fabulous! See you in a couple weeks on your special day!

I mean, think about love in the real true sense. Nothing stands up to love. There are not words that distort real love into something it’s not. You can not conquer it even if you tried.

Real, genuine love, how it was first designed, will prevail over all. Love moves time and space to be where it needs to be. This is the case of Matt and Carley.

Trust us, if you had the great pleasure of hearing the perfect story of how Matt and Carley came to be, from Carley herself, it would be full of joy and tears and trepidation and fulfillment and honest faith. You’d want to see it in a movie with your sweetheart next to you and a hot chocolate during Christmas. That’s how cool it is.

Jess and I have known Carley for some time now and consider her and her family dear friends of ours. Carley is in fact the sister of Casey, who you may recall, we photographed with his awesome wife Katelyn and bouncing son Hudson. She is incredibly easy to be around, her laughter infecting you making you want to laugh out loud without even really knowing what you’re laughing about! Carley really is amazing. Knowing that, we were incredibly excited to get the request from her to have us capture her wedding day.

It will be fantastic, we can assure you. You just wait.

We finally got to meet this Matt that we had been hearing about, and once we met him Carley’s words of affection all became clear to us. Matt seriously should win the award for “coolest, nicest guy around”. (Who gives that award out anyways? Someone should find out and nominate Matt.) We kind of felt like we had known Matt for a very long time and that it was just good to reconnect again. Matt’s life has been turned upside down in more ways than one by meeting Carley…and all for the better.

He is smitten. Which provides more evidence to believe that their wedding day will be amazing and full of this genuine, captivating love that we’re talking about.

We hope that in some small way, we’ve been able to communicate LOVE and sincerity through these images of Matt & Carley…they’ve moved us for sure. We know this to be true, because we keep looking at them over and over, haha.

Here’s Matt & Carley, to be united on June 12th 2010….stay tuned…
