Aaron & Luke | 4.21.11

Yes.  We know exactly what you will think.  What sweet innocent looking boys.  Wrong!  These two boys are full blown rivalries with the Tanner girls - Jill and Kay - when it comes to playing Wii. Seriously. It's every guy/girl for himself/herself!  AND, we wouldn't trade that for anything!  

We love these boys!  They're PK's [preacher's kids] just like we are!

This was soooo precious.  They were so determined to do exactly what we wanted them to do ... hands here, head tilted this way, try a different smile, lean in, move a little closer to the tree.  Even sweeter was hearing Luke (the youngest) say, "Here Aaron, I know how.  Do it this way." 

It's amazing.  These boys aren't little anymore!

Future quarterback for sure!

"Of all the things I have to play,

I'd choose my brother any day."

Would you believe we were dodging the rain for our last few pictures.  Worth every drop to get this one!

Zack & Sam | 4.16.11

I first met Sam and Zack, along with Sam's mom, Lisa, last fall at Panera Bread just as they were in the early stages of planning their wedding.  Immediately, I liked them.  Still do.  Even more now as we have gotten to know them during these last several months.

Their engagement session just did fit in those last days of fall!  This little park just off the main square is where Zack took Sam when he proposed. The lighting was just beautiful. Perfect timing and perfect place. 

We take no responsibility for this prop.  Great idea having Sam and Zack carve a pumpkin, Lisa.  This was no small task accomplishing this, but together, they did it!  And what fun!  A memory keeper for sure!

Both Zack and Sam were so easy going and completely settled when it came to being in front of the

 camera lens. Getting to know them before the wedding was a perk for us!  A favorite shot of the day ...

Zack & Sam | Danforth Chapel | 4.16.11

He didn't say it, but I can only imagine he was thinking the same thing we were ...

Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day.

And, it was still raining when we started pictures!

  

Despite the clouds, rain and weather sirens, Sam never let it effect her...

she was getting MARRIED and that's all that mattered.

Storm clouds passed ... and then the sun came out!

Some moments to cherish...

What a great day filled with friends, family and lots of love! Both Sam and Zack really went out of their way to enjoy every second of their day! AND make sure their guests enjoyed it as much.

The wedding day was so full of beautiful details ...

... and fun moments between the bride and groom.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. 

They must be felt with the heart.      Helen Keller

Okay.  So every now and then, we have to let our mom choose an image. So here's one of her favorites.   Actually, one of the last taken.  Sam's mom...who now has the treasure of a daughter and son.

The wedding is the event,

the marriage is the journey.

Thank you Zack and Sam so much ... for choosing us. It was a JOY and privilege to be the ones

to document your day. You were definitely meant to be ... Mr. & Mrs.

and overflow for each other." I Thessalonians 3:12
