Megan & Harrison {the Wedding Weekend}

Hello friends!

Last weekend my sister got married to my brother-in-law! 😀 It was SUCH an amazing, beautiful, memory-filled few days so of course I wanted to share some of the pictures I took.

Megan got married at my family’s farm (as is the tradition with my siblings) decorated with bright poppies and florals, string lights, and lots of yellow. 🙂

Lydia & Zach {Wedding Photography}

Hello friends!

Last weekend I got to photograph a lovely wedding! The bride was a friend of a friend and was referred to me when her first photographer couldn’t attend after all. Lydia was such a sweet and joyful bride and I loved getting to be a part of her and Zach’s special day!

I thought I’d share some of my favorite shots with you guys today for your enjoyment. 🙂

Kendall & Matt {Melrose Caverns Wedding Photography}

Hello friends!

I got to second-shoot a wedding with my aunt back in June at the beautiful Melrose Caverns venue. (Yes, we actually got pictures inside the caverns!) If I shared all my favorite photos from the day it would take like three posts, but I managed to condense them into just one.

This mainly ended up being a portrait gallery of the bride, groom, and wedding party rather than the events of the wedding, but that’s because there were so many pretty and hilarious shots. Enjoy!

A Day in My Life as a Homemaker

Hello friends!

Today I thought it would be fun to give you guys a glimpse into how I balance my work and homemaking. The problem is, I don’t have very set routines. I have two part time jobs with inconsistent schedules, meaning my day rarely actually looks like the one neatly laid out in this post. Isn’t that how it always goes though?

Regardless, I thought you might enjoy hearing how I fill my days as a newly married wife. If that sounds interesting, read on!

Practical Ways to Prepare Yourself for Marriage

Hello friends!

Sully and I are coming up on our 6 month wedding anniversary, ah! It seems like a momentous milestone. Obviously it’s also a very small one and I’m still quite new at this whole wife thing. However, you guys seem interested in this side of my life and I wanted to make a post where I could share some things that have helped me in my marriage without pretending like I’m an expert now or something. I landed on this topic since I’ve at least been married long enough to start seeing how aspects of my life before marriage affected my life today.

All that to say… today I wanted to share a few things I’ve been pondering on the subject of living in preparation for marriage. This post is mostly written for young women who are currently unmarried or living at home, but it also applies to young men in a similar fashion. And if you’ve been married longer than I have and can actually speak from experience, I’d love to hear your advice in the comments! 🙂 Either way, I hope you enjoy reading my thoughts.
