It started with an email entry.  A little blog entry we posted with a contest to win free wedding photography from yours truly.  :)  Yes, it all started there.

As Jeff and I stood on the busy street corner, waiting for the light to turn so we could cross, we saw them.  I had butterflies because I was so eager to meet the couple who inspired our judges and inspired us.  From the moment we said our hello’s, I knew their session was going to be amazing.  And it was.  We joked and we laughed and we celebrated who they are and their love for each other.  It was pure awesome.

Missy & Bobby, we are so excited for your wedding this summer at Leach Gardens.  You two are so much fun and I know that your wedding day is going to be seasoned perfectly with love, life, and laughter.  Jeff and I had the greatest time with you two and couldn’t be happier that your entry was selected for our giveaway.  :)   You two compliment each other in so many ways and it was so fabulous to capture your personalities.  We hope you love your pictures!

Jeff, who spent the day holding an umbrella for me, snapped the picture below.  :)

I absolutely LOVE when I capture a reflection- especially when it’s unexpected- like in a puddle.  :)

I couldn’t resist posting the pic below because Missy was cracking us up with her dance moves!  She worked it!

Something about the image below just speaks to me.  I simply adore it!  :)
