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.

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"
Photobucket

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?"
Photobucket

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

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

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! Photobucket


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.  ;)  Photobucket


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

It was definitely a celebration.  :)

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