Bethany

april 29. 2010

She's smart, talented in so many ways (I just wish I could sing like her), devoted to our Savior, beautiful, and a whole lot of fun to be around. This is Bethany and I am honored to not only have been her youth pastor for awhile and watch her grow spiritually, but I am honored to call her friend. Bethany has decided she wants to take her passion of photography and be a photographer (www.bethanylynns.wordpress.com) and since shes usually the one taking pictures wanted some updated pictures of herself and see what its like in front of the camera.
Bethany, I can't wait to see what the near future holds for you, I believe in you and I know God is working His plan in you.

Doesn't she just look like so much fun to be around?!

Mark & Cassandra Wedding

04.20.10

Weddings make me so happy. Two people standing before God and their friends and family making crazy commitments to each other ("to have and to hold, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer"). Standing in front of their peers and grandparents committing their lives to love. Love is beautiful. And the day of Mark and Cassandra's wedding there was such a peace, excitement, and simple beauty about their love for one another. As she beamed walking down the aisle, Mark stood patiently waiting for his bride unable to take his eyes off her. As the photographer gathered their family and friends around them for pictures they gracefully stood with their arms around each other Mark kissing Cassandra's forehead every so often. As Cassandra started to worry about the timing of everything, Mark quietly reassured her that it was their day to enjoy. Beautiful!
Mark and Cassandra, you two are beautiful people with a beautiful love for one another and had a beautiful wedding. I am glad to be apart of your lives and I was so glad to be apart of your special day and grab a few photos when I could =). Thank you for letting me pray with you, drive you, and capture some of your amazing day.

Christopher & Claire

april 9. 2010

I remember playing Ninja Turtles with him and him playing house with me, always wanting to be the puppy dog or the baby which makes me giggle now, but was totally normal then ;). Christopher is my "little brother" and I sometimes forget he is now 6'3", graduated from college and has a real job, makes real money, and really is in love. To me, he is the freakishly tan, for our white family, little boy that comes running on the beach introducing us to his "new fwend thats goin to come to his birfday party (which is in december)". But when I see Christopher now and the man he has become it makes me smile. And to see Christopher with the love of his life makes me smile even more.

Claire is absolutely adorable and such an easy person to get along with. They are perfect for each other and they are so happy. They laugh. And laugh. All the time! Spending time with them this is the main thing you notice and get to join in on. They balance each other and they are so incredibly kind, considerate, and affectionate towards one another. Their future holds wonderful things and can't wait to see what it holds! Love you guys!

They laugh.
They loveThey adore one anotherThey are still

And giddy

They are so much fun

And So beautiful
(Note to Claire: I agree with my brother you are stunning with your serious face) And I had to include the next one cuz its very Twilight-esque and I love all things Twilighty.


They are so in love
