This day, was an absolute joy, throughout every minute of it. Everyone was so there, and so excited to get to see these two get married while praising Jesus, and it was a joy.

Congratulations again, Daniel and Christina. May God continue to bless you both.

Had the best time hanging out with these two Wednesday.

I've known Peter for years, and it was such a joy hearing a few months ago that God had brought the two of them together, and that they were hoping to get married.

These two, are such joys. We laughed so hard through this time, so many jokes, so many smiles, so many grins. I'm thankful for them both.

Natalie and Peter, I cannot wait to celebrate with you two in just a few months as you two become one before God and man. Congratulations. May these months of in between be filled with so much joy, as you work forward together. God keep you.

Jonathan & Mandy.

You guys. I am so, so excited for these two.

Over the last year, I have not only had the utmost honor of becoming their photographer, but also the honor of getting to know them as friends, and let me tell you, it has been a gift. These two are two of the most down-to-earth, real, fun people you will ever meet, and their big day was a reflection of that.

Jonathan & Mandy, I am so, so excited for you two, and I cannot wait to see what God has instore for you both, now as husband and wife. It's going to be beautiful, and I'm excited for you two as you walk into it. Go get 'em.

The sky is red.

There are a thousand colors under it, but that one hits my heart, and I can't breathe for a moment, just looking.

Red. Phoebe and I prayed for a red sunset. And here it is, in front of us, more real, more vibrant, full of so much more that what we imagined.

Red. Its beautiful, the sunlight cutting across the grasses, ri***ng each strand with gold, tinged with that same stain, and its beautiful, everything turned toward something filled with the sharpness of the autumn sky.

The winds have changed. We thought it would be warm, like it was below, but up here, its chill. Up here, the air is a little crisper, a little sharper with a thousand feelings and the knowledge of change. My heart lifts with it. Hope. Hope for something spoken of on the wind that scrapes across these mountain tops, hope that is spoken of as the leaves fall from the trees.

How can there be this hope, mingled with the knowledge of change, the knowledge that time is shifting, that death is coming to all that has been green and real?

Winter is no less real. Fall is no less raw, bringing with it a taste of what is to come and a knowledge of joy.

Joy. Yes. Joy. Maybe thats what we taste when the colors change and eyes shift to wonder. Joy mingled with hope mingled with a knowledge that this time is limited. That there is something long after, and then this will return, full green, beautiful and alive and raw, and each season will bring its own wonder.

Autumn comes with a knowledge of the good that is coming, surely and truly as the seasons shift and things pass away, new ones coming in a season of cold. For this is a season. And though the world is growing hard, for a time, there is life to come, real, potent and green, whispering across the fields with a promise of what is to come.

Autumn. Autumn is a breath away, moving in a light of hope for the season to come, moments of joy through the knowledge that the darkness shall not last, that the night will be short again.

Hope. In the last light, in the touch of the fog and the knowledge that seasons don't last, but that joy is ingrained in each of them, bright with the brush of each strand of fading grass. Hope.

▪︎RINGS▪︎

I don't know that I will never not love rings.

They are such a powerful symbol, and a beautiful one at the same time. One of my favorite side-things to do at engagement sessions is to borrow that ring for a few minutes and capture a few shots just to highlight it, but equally as important is finding time on the wedding day to really highlight your band.

I wish we had more pictures of my mama's ring. She wore a couple, as one of them my wonderful sister-in-law now wears, but I can barely remember what her anniversary ring or wedding band looked like.

When I first started photography, I didn't understand the ring pictures. It was like, 'okay. Thats a lot of pictures of just details. Where are all the faces??" But the longer I've done this, the more I've realized how important it can be to have these things documented. A lot of them are symbols of things, reminders, and it is good to be reminded of our reminders somedays.

For others, they are the bits and pieces that reflect the heart of your wedding day: a Bible, vows, veil (or not), rings, shoes, necklaces, earrings, cufflinks and so many other small things that make up the tiny spots with so much thought in your day.

Michael & Kristin.

These two, y'all. Their day was filled with so, so much joy by grace. Seeing the two of them together, smiling, laughing and carefully setting about to begin this next step as husband and wife. Thier smiles were contagious, and the dancing was real.

Kristin you were stunning. Michael, your humor is the best. I am so, so excited for you two.

Skylight, and colors that only God can paint.

Hallelujah.

What a beautiful sound. Offering up praise to God is something that is watering to your soul in ways that I don't think I'll ever understand. And the mountains, and in the forest, and in the midst of family and joy and sorrow are the places that I feel it most, and know most the uplift of heart that makes it want to pour out a Hallelujah.

I hope you never stop wondering at the magnificent things He has placed into the small but huge moments in nature. Oh, He is good. I've missed wondering at all that He does in the small and the big. He is good.

What is something you have been learning recently? What has been watering your heart? A song? A tree? A word? A thought? What has made your heart to think again? Or has it been a struggle of late?

I'm not good at consistently posting on here. But this year I am a thousand times over thankful for the many adventures that have been had and the many yet to come.

This night stands out as one that 'dazzles' (okay, so 'dazzle' might be an inside joke here, in the case of this couple so JP knows I had to use it) my memory, as we had so much fun, and the way God painted the sky that night was stunning. He is good.

I've been thankful for all the mountaintop sessions. Those have become some of my favorites for the quiet, creation that is all around and the moments that always gather around tramping up trails. God is good.

I had an absolute blast with these two the other night.

We laughed. We ran after light puddles, and they spent some time together, dancing in a pastel sunset and walking together on the rocky ground. We laughed a lot.

Krysta & Justin, I loved getting to hear your story and hang out with you both. You two are an amazing pair, and its beautiful to have a glimpse of where God has brought you two so far as husband and wife. May God keep you both.

Congratulations in the very highest degree to Mr & Mrs Stam!

Jesse & Hannah, I am so, so thankful for you both, and it was an honor to be up there with you on your beautiful day.
