dsp | my family

Now that my brother, sister and I are all grown up and have moved away from home, it’s a very uncommon occurrence when we are all together AND in the mood for taking some pictures. At my mom’s request, over New Year’s weekend we all gathered in my parent’s living room, moved a bunch of furniture and I tried to get some family photos courtesy of a tripod and the 9-second run…..yes, I know I need to get a wireless trigger…..lol. Anyway, meet my family. Love them to death. :)

Thanks for looking!

married: allie & matt

When you watch a chick flick, a wedding is usually the culmination or ending to the movie. You’ve laughed, cried and sometimes thrown popcorn at the screen as you experience the journey that brought these two people together (….then apart, and then together again….usually at an airport or train station or possibly a bus stop.) But that’s beside the point….the point is that typically a wedding ends our cinematic romantic adventures; it’s the culmination of two people’s love for each other and that’s where the story stops for the audience. However, in reality, a wedding is the beginning of a brand new adventure in the lives of the couple in question. They will experience life in a whole new way, have a different perspective on the world around them, have all new sorts of relationship challenges, and they get to share everything, the good and the bad, with the one person who has promised to love them, honor them, cherish them and stick by them forever.

On December 26th, I had the honor of shooting Allie and Matt’s wedding. Allie and Matt have been together for 7 years, and their love for each other, their close friendship with each other is very apparent to those around them and for Allie and Matt, their family and close friends, this wedding was such a celebration of a love that has been maturing for a long while. A culmination of their love so far, but also a beautiful new beginning, and I wish them lots of joy, laughs and love as they continue their journey together. :)

Here are just a few of my favorites from their day….and oh yeah, I got to shoot with Erik again, so you’ll see a few of his shots featured as well!

merry christmas!

merry christmas to you all!  hoping you have a wonderful, safe holiday as you celebrate with your friends and loved ones.  may we be ever-mindful and thankful for the true reason for Christmas as God has provided the ultimate Christmas gift to us, redemption through His son, Jesus.

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,

so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

Galatians 4:4-5,7
