Justin and Lindsey were another one of those couples with whom we felt the *click*. By the time their wedding date arrived, we had already gotten to know them over coffee and spent an afternoon with them for their engagement session. (We love when it all works out like that!) So to say that we were excited for their wedding would have been an understatement. At the wedding, we felt like we were old friends who just happened to have a knack for photography. Everyone was so easy going and excited. Justin and Lindsey gave us complete creative freedom and were so trusting of us that we were able to truly enjoy the entire day, soak up all the love and excitement and joy around us and then translate that into images. And I cannot forget to mention the wedding party and family, who were so much fun and up for anything we asked. Thank you for being amazing and rocking it hard for our cameras!

Justin and Lindsey,
Your love for each other is inspiring and evident to everyone around. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for showing us such unconditional trust on your wedding day. We cannot even express to you the honor that we felt and how much we enjoyed documenting each moment for the two of you. We hope that through these images you can relive the joy and romance of that day over and over again for years to come.

I’m sure that I sound like a broken record and you’re going to be reading this thinking, “Um, if you could just shut up about websites and features and post some pictures that would be great.” And I promise, I’ve got a bunch of pictures coming up. We’ve got 2 weddings to show you as well as some fun pictures from Disney World and a kick-A promo shoot. So… bear with me while I completely freak out about the subject of this post…

When embarking on any new adventures in life, there are always those goals you have set up for yourself along the timeline of your dreams. I’m talking about the big goals marking off major accomplishments. If the timeline of a dream was a ruler, those big accomplishments would be the inch marks. Each time you get to one it’s a big deal. You’ve grown. You’re moving up the ruler. This morning we added an inch. One of our business goals for 2009 was to be featured on a prominent wedding blog. Today, Southern Weddings Magazine Online made the magic happen for us with their Real Weddings Feature on Kate and Pete’s wedding. I know that tons of weddings are featured on tons of wedding blogs every day, but this just made me so excited. I totally did my celebration dance around the living room.

Please go take a look and read Katie’s interview about her amazing proposal story as well as how she went about planning such a fabulous wedding. Oh, and leave us some love over at SW so we look good. ;)

I’m so thankful for twitter. Twitter is how I get my daily news. Seriously people. I’m in love with it. Twitter is also how I find out everything that’s going in the the photography world and thanks to our good friends (thanks Baxters!), we were informed on twitter that some of our images had been featured on www.arewemarriedyet.com.

Are We Married Yet is am amazing website that showcases the thoughts and images from some of the world’s best wedding planners and photographers. The goal of the site is to help brides be inspired and find their perfect photographers and planners (so invaluable!). So, we were so thrilled to have some of our images of Justin and Lindsey’s engagement session chosen to be featured. (And rated with 5 stars? This is just too much!)

And, as the cherry on top, the post went live on 2/22/09. :) Did they do that on purpose? It’s too perfect!

The photography on Are We Married Yet is mind-blowing and we feel so blessed to be included. Thank you.
