David & Sarah at Brasada

One night last summer at our annual great escape, we sat around a crowded table and listened to Sarah tell us about David. How he was kind, and so smart, and how his faith encouraged her own. How he was from a small town, loved the outdoors, and had an amazing family. How he loved anything related to athletics and how he never encouraged Sarah to be anything but her most naturally gorgeous self. …And maybe we also listened as Sarah told us about how David was especially handsome.

While Sarah continued to assure us they were taking things slowly, seeing where their relationship would go, I think that night we all knew our friend had met her match. When I finally met David a few weeks later I threw up my arms and ran across the family restaurant to greet Sarah’s boy with a slightly overwhelming hug.

Sarah, there are no words to express our happiness for you. I love you to the moon and back and could not be any more excited for this season of life (and love) that you’re in. David, we love you! Welcome to the craziest, most diverse, most loyal (might I add most awesome?!) group of friends you’ll ever know. We really truly couldn’t think of a better guy to take care of our lady.

Love you guys forever. LET’S GO GET MARRIED!!

M. I met David + Sarah at the always gorgeous Brasada Ranch for an engagement session full of horses and big red barns and Pendleton blankets and bright blue skies...

Many thanks to Kate Tuma for doing such an incredible job with Sarah's hair and make-up.

Dan & Molly

Here’s the thing about Molly - she’s the type of person who, had I not had a mortgage, I would have asked to pay me in hugs. Her very presence exudes joy and happiness and while you don’t need me to tell you this, her smile lights up the world. And although I was terribly nervous to meet Dan for the first time at the engagement session (<< what if he didn’t like me?! What if he thought Molly made a horrible choice in photographers?! What if!!), his calm, sweet, kind demeanor instantly had me smiling. Beside one another, Dan and Molly seem to make everything right in the world. Dan + Molly, why is July so far away?! Somewhere between kissing in the middle of a baseball field and cuddling on the banks of a river you had me wishing your wedding was this weekend. Thank you for planning an engagement session that was creative and fun and perfectly you. And thank you for being excited about life and love and weddingness. I’m so happy for you both and I cannot wait for this summer!! P.S. Molly, I hope you understand the resolve it took to not send you one hundred emails full of sneak peeks yesterday. Your ability to take amazing pictures instantly made my job extremely difficult!
