We had such a great time with Brandon & Chelise, I didn't feel sick the whole time....but you can bet, I crawled back into my sweats and climbed under a blanket on a couch the rest of the weekend ;) TOTALLY worth it! =D

For our final wedding of 2015, you can't get many more Seasons crammed into one day than Josh & Brittany's big day had....a gorgeous Fall day with all the colors of the leaves turned, as you would expect, as well as a light dusting of snow throughout the day.....actually more like sleet directly before the Ceremony began and a white-out after it ended! But none of that mattered when it came time to walk down the aisle, because the sun was shining and blue skies were out =D No matter what Season the weather seemed to be showing, Josh & Brittany's wedding was truly one for the memory books!

Well these two are just the sweetest =) You'd swear they were from the South with their charming demeanor ;) I mean within days of their Session, Sam & I received a crafted, handwritten thank you note from April sharing how much she loved their photos!...
"Rachel & Sam,
Todd and I can't thank you enough for our engagement photos! You guys made it such a fun day and the photos are absolutely stunning. Now we really can't wait for the big day! We wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories.
Thanks again! ~ April & Todd"
Oh boy, are we excited for Michael & Anne's wedding next Summer?!

Sam & I love it when we get the opportunity to photograph a wedding from this group of friends of ours...Cherry Runners! Since I was a sophomore in High School, I have attended Cherry Run Church Camp. It's where I learned what having a faith meant, it's where I grew spiritually Summer after Summer, it's where Sam & I shared our passion of working with the youth, and it's where we both are excited to bring Liliana as she grows up =) Groom, Loren, was a fellow Camp Counselor and this weekend we got to celebrate the joy of him and bride, Sara, becoming one...not just as photographer, but as friends =)
Read MoreWhat a fun time we had spending the weekend with this big family that has welcomed two baby cousins into the clan ;) Born within weeks of each other, baby boy Olliver & his cousin Josephine, met for the first time this past weekend, traveling home from Arizona....the perfect reason & time to have an extended Family photo shoot! The Smeal's brought us out to their home in Clearfield to capture photos by the river lining their back yard...just gorgeous! And what a wonderful treasure to include in the newborn photos, the very trunk that their ancestors stored everything they owned as they traveled to America to build their new lives! Now on top...tiny, new life snuggled together =)
