moving silence

I traveled to Austin at the end of January for a photography workshop, my first, and a dear (new) friend of mine was also an attendee. (More on the workshop, later!) On our first evening in town, in an attempt to shake off the oh-my-god-this-is-my-first-workshop-ever-what-if-everyone-hates-me nerves, Kelsea and I found a parking lot. Filled with fog, street lights, and .... her. 

I have always been drawn to fog. Its quiet majesty. The moving silence. Though I prefer fog during the dawn hours, that evening in a Cabela's parking lot, south of Austin, Texas, was one of my favorites, ever. Kelsea, you're beautiful, amazing, kind, talented, crazy, hilarious, and I hope you love these images.

Kate+Matt. Winter. Wedding. Wonderful.

Last weekend I photographed a wedding. In the middle of winter. In Minnesota. When I first met Kate, I was hooked. And when she told me she dreamed of outdoor winter wedding photos, I knew I had to be there to capture her gorgeous Cross Lake wedding. Kate is one of the most beautiful creatures I have seen up close, and the way her face glows when Matt looks at her makes my heart sing. These two-the way they love each other-is exactly why I chase after a photographic life. Taking photos. Telling stories. Sharing the goodness. The love. Their love. I am so honored to have been a part of their beautiful winter wedding, and to call them friends. Here is a preview of their day....

Kate. Matt. Seriously.

Thank you.
From the bottom of my heart. 
I hope you are having an amazing time in Hawaii.
