becca spears - oh parsons. oh jaclyn and nate. this is possibly one of the most beautiful storytelling portraits I have ever seen. Ash and Jer- you have this hard-to-grasp ability to tap into the supernatural- that quality of life at it's richest. Those most transcendent moments. You actually somehow can convey the depth and passion of that. It is very rare to see art imitate life that well. Thank you for sharing this. You made me fall in love with this family.

adventure is on justin’s family farm, where everyone pitched in to create a whimsical, homemade wedding day for him and his bride, alyssa.

Thursday, November 8, 2012

Thanks to you two and this couple for the inspiration!

keri bryant - Oh you two...I have tears rollling down my face on this Friday morning, and there isnt even a video to go with that. Seriously??? You slay me! Ok, using my full name when I send these love notes so that 10 years (I HOPE AT LEAST!) from now when the begging and pleading emails come to do the first of 3 daughters' wedding, you will make room for it. There can be no other to capture them. Happy weekend and...THANK YOU for the eye candy and the love.
