The summer of collages

"We don't even have to try, it's always a good time." 


This summer has been one of the most incredible and happy summers.  I had a very heavy work load my senior year, and sacrificed a lot of things.  It's simply amazing to have time to "falalala" as I like to say this summer and see my hard work pay off!  :D  Summer started with my senior pictures done by the ever lovely Ellie Berry and just unraveled from there.  I love my iPhone, and lately i've been pretty obsessed with making collages + instagraming them.  So here's my summer!


 
I love skirts.  Love love them.  Lately half my wardrobe is skirts and I get ridiculously excited when I find new cute ones.  :D


Also love love love Captain America.  ;)

I went to West Virginia!  And didn't have cell service.  And survived!  It was kind of a big deal.  ;D  Hehe but one of my favorite of favorites are fields, so my heart was so happy to be there.





Oh, have I had girl time.  <3





And brother time!  Good gosh isn't he just so snazzy?


Saw what felt like 50 fireworks displays this summer.  Loved every minute though!



I take being festive on the 4th of July really seriously.  :D  If I can be a walking American flag, then a flag I shall be!


So many work things and social events means very very little down time, so when I get them it's so fantastic!


I went to California!  & Saw "The big trees!"


My time in California was one of the best highlights of my senior year.  Love my friends there!


I have a lot of blog posts coming your way soon, but there's my little "halfway through the summer"  update!  As always, I update the facebook page quite frequently.  So be sure to "like" that for updates!  :)

Stay Beautiful,

Jonathan & Holly {Wedding}

Jonathan & Holly met at the Air Force Academy and were married in June at the Air Force Chapel.  Because of this, they had a reception back home in Maryland to celebrate with Holly's side of the family & her friends.  It was such a lovely day!  My favorite part of weddings are the getting ready time and the reception, but by the time I make it to the reception i'm pretty tired.  This wedding was the best because they skipped the ceremony and instead showed a video of it during the reception!  I've known Holly since I was 5, and it's so surreal to think that I would be shooting this for her!  It's so wonderful to catch up with old friends.  :)



As they got ready I talked to Holly.  (And maybe helped curl her hair? ;)  "So what are your wedding colors?"  *Big smile*  "Hot pink!"  "Oh yes, I can tell.  :D"


She told me all about Jonathan "He's from Texas!  We wears a hat, and boots, and everything!  I love it.  I love him, it's so great.  I love today, it's like a wedding without all the stress.  What about you?  Any guys in your life?"


They chatted and hair sprayed and got all ready together as sisters.  :)  

Then we headed over to the Country Club for their pictures.

We drove all around in the golf carts.  :)


Everything was in full swing when we made it back to the reception, and the details were lovely with there hot pink!






Now that's how you cut a cupcake! 


Holly's Dad is the owner of our local Chick-fil-a (shout out to their lemonade!  I die with joy each time I drink it)  and he had a surprise for her.  ;)  


The Chick-fil-a cow made an apparence to really get the party started! 

It was definitely a celebration.  :)


It was a lovely "wedding" and I enjoyed every part!  Congratulations and Jonathan & Holly!

Stay Beautiful,
