Stefanie + Leigh are just one of those couples that you can’t help but love. For that matter, the same could be said for everyone we met at their wedding! Leigh and many of his family and friends have an awesome accent that you could listen to for days (is it weird we just wanted them to read us a story?). We are confident that even if Leigh were to start screaming profanities at us (which we can’t imagine him doing because he is incredibly chill), we would still just stand there and smile. Stefanie is 100% sweet and caring down to her core and (as you can see in the video below) her vows were truly touching. They were and are a beautiful pair of human beings and we feel so blessed to have been a part of their wedding!

    Sarah Seckman - Love this wedding! I'm especially fond of your candid shots- bride with moms before the ceremony, bride and groom playful shots, guests chatting and laughing. Those are moments that can't be relived or recaptured. Wonderful!ReplyCancel

    RJ Carbone - Loved the use of color in many of the backdrops of the in shoots including the vibrant streamers during the ceremony and succulents for the romantic outdoor photos of the newlyweds. The exposure was spot on, so many happy expressions of the bride and groom captured. Great photos!ReplyCancel

There are so many things we love about Tiffany and Stephen. For one they are lovers of fine beers but they also brought snacks to their session! Umm…we love snacks (but, to be fair, who doesn’t love snacks…I mean, bread and cheese?? Yes please). They also have incredible senses of humor (we were all laughing pretty much the whole time) and when we first met them they brought their freaking adorable puppy with them! It truly was an awesome time and we cannot wait for their Maravilla Gardens wedding coming up later this year!

Alannah + Evan hold a special place in our hearts and if you have ever met us in person, you will immediately know why right around the second photo of this post. For those of you who haven’t met us in person, Joe is about 6’4″ and Marianne is about 5’4″, which we like to think gives us very diverse perspectives. Like us, Alannah + Evan have a bit of a height disparity and, fully recognizing that we might be just a wee-bit biased, we think it is pretty much adorable in every way.

Alannah + Evan are also absolutely hilarious and super sweet. We could not be more excited to shoot their Carondelet House wedding later this year!
