On Saturday Jake & Sierra were married at a sweet little lodge outside of town. The bride was gorgeous, the groom extra dapper, and the dance party of a reception was, well, completely off the chain. Here's a peak of the beautifulness that was...
Yesterday Colton and I flew to Florida where we plan on relaxing, sleeping, and soaking up as much sun as possible before tomorrow's wedding. ...It's just a little something I like to call a pretty incredible Monday.

I’ll miss falling asleep with his arms around me. Kissing him, whenever I want. Making dinner together and then laughing, all through our meal, as we talk about our day’s events. Walking Connie before bed. Playing cribbage…and beating him. Crying in his arms when it’s been a rough day. Or I’m stressed. Or maybe I’m just being tired and whiny. Driving anywhere, everywhere, with his Grande Americano, with room, and my Tall Americano, with room. Waking up beside him.
I will definitely miss waking up beside him.
But I think what I’ll miss the most when Colton is gone are the moments like these. They're the moments that remind me of the ordinary, routine, simple life we live.
Together.
There are the road trips, the camping, the exploring new places for their dogs to run, and the long afternoon drives with no destination in mind. When asked what Daniel and Ashley's favorite things to do were, it didn't take long to see that the couple's love for wide open spaces was rivaled only by their love and admiration for family and friends. But it was what Ashley wrote in an email that really caused me to stop and catch my breath, making me realize just what a beautiful couple I was working with. "We both go to work every day with the motivation that some day we will have our own ranch where our dogs, horses, cattle (and us) can run free".
...And just like that, one of my favorite engagement sessions to date was born.
Daniel and Ashley, I feel so blessed to be the one that gets to document your wedding day. Thank you for trusting me with your pictures. And thank you for introducing me to your dogs. And your horses. And your lives.
I'm kind of in love with them all.
Meet Trey and Axle, the best looking farm dogs I ever did see.
This is Beau. While a little shy at first, after realizing this was his free pass to stardom he really did rise to the occasion.
A little family portrait...
...and a quick outfit change.
At the end of the session we ran over to a neighbor's - who also happens to be the best dentist in town (Hi Dr. Keener!) - and borrowed his fabulous red barn. And right before my eyes this already perfect engagement session got a little bit sweeter.
Happy Weekend, Michelle
