There is something so lovely about the rhythm of everyday family life: Working together to complete projects, making and enjoying meals, enjoying each other’s company, taking care of your home. It seems like fairytale writers have never been blessed enough to witness a family like this, since fairytales are filled with passion, adventure, and hopeless […]

The anniversary dance always makes us smile. We’re sure you’re familiar with this wedding tradition when couples flood the dance floor for a brief time before being asked to leave based on how long they’ve been married.

In our time as photographers, we’ve had a few opportunities to photograph a friend’s wedding. Granted, by the time we get to a wedding day, our couples already feel like close friends because we get to know each other during their engagement session, but we’re talking about photographing friends whom we’ve known before we started […]

Married couples often love things about their spouse that are unique to them—like little treasures that are only revealed after spending so much time together. We each notice things about the other that we cherish. As an example, when we’re at Mass and the priest is sharing something in his homily that Amy really agrees […]

They were picking a date for their wedding and realized that Sunday, December 31st, is the […]

When we were dating and discerning marriage, we spent a lot of time talking about families and all the work God can do through them. Deciding who you’re going to marry is a big deal. Your spouse (in most situations) is the only family member you get to choose. Husband and wives will always differ […]

Before a Nuptial Mass begins, guests are often looking for familiar things. A glimpse of the bride and a peek at her dress, the groom as he sees his bride walk down the aisle, perhaps the mother of the bride or groom wiping away a tear. Our minds paint a picture of what these moments […]

When we hear the word “heart,” we think of love, and vice versa. The two are intertwined.
