ben was not able to go when i met alyx for the first time over a year ago, and when i got home i told him that i was embarrassed because i think i stared at her the whole time. i absolutely could not get over how beautiful she was!!! seriously….. ridiculously GORGEOUS. no one will disagree with me, for sure….. especially her sweet, handsome and debonaire husband, david. these two together are not only fun, full of personality and energy, but are also a smokin’ hot couple. (p.s…. i can’t wait to see what your kids look like!) after putting on what i will mark as one of the most beautiful gowns i have seen, alyx and david met for a moment alone (with ben + mindy as snipers in the bushes). just the look on their faces was so sweet and genuine….. aaahhhhh…… looooove.

we then gathered up the troops for some downtown shots and wow did they rock it out!!! i have a new favorite purple wall that worked perfectly for the bridesmaids pictures and then the guys, who were a hoot, i might add, we took to an old favorite yellow wall that we love. we had some serious color going on…. oh happy day!!! on our way from downtown over to aquinas (both b & g went there), we saw this kelly green older car sitting in a lot and i immediately spotted it as ben shook his head at me like it would be a bit too much (sometimes he is my voice of reason). then alyx pipes up from the back of our hot mini-van…… let’s do some shots by the green car! i love you, alyx!!!! and sure enough….. they turned out awesome! we just had so much fun spending the day with these two!!!!!!

the ceremony, the details, the couple, the party, the celebration, the unity, the love. these are all of the things that we love about our job, but most of all, it’s all about the people that we get to meet and spend our time with and the relationships that we develop. we are truly blessed and we thank you for the honor of capturing your day. and now for some of our favorites….. i still can’t get over how beautiful alyx is. you’ll see….. ENJOY!!!
