Hello

Jackie & Ryan

A Riverside Casino & Golf Resort Spring Wedding

Weddings

May has been so good to us! April was all over the place with wind and weather, but May…oh, May! Back in February, when I photographed Jackie and Ryan’s engagement session (remember that beautiful Old Capitol shoot?), it was chilly and gray, but for their wedding, the sky was blue, the grass a perfect golf-course […]

Engaged

Jacob doesn’t remember the very first time they met–they were both students at Oklahoma State and their paths didn’t cross for a while–“but I do remember us walking to the music building one day and she had made cookies, and she gave me one!

He […]

Christel & Steven

A Wilson’s Ciderhouse Spring Wedding

Weddings

You know I love a Friday wedding–the magic of hosting an event while much of the world is still clocked in at their regular job is so intimate and special–and Christel and Steven’s wedding day was extra lovely in every way. The weather was perfect; something we sometimes take for granted, but this spring has […]
