With this ring...

Mr. + Mrs. Dietz

What a wonderful wedding to start off the season!

A stunning bride + a handsome groom + a totally rad wedding party

= One heck of a Party!

It is something to be said of a couple when only four people out of the dozens of friends and family that you invited don't show up for a wedding. They crossed states, county lines and even countries in order to watch the marriage between these two amazing people. The kind words that guests spoke of Michael and Alisa warmed my heart.

It gives me pure happiness to say I captured their special day.

May you have a lifetime of joy ahead of you!

.be still precious moment.

I believe that every moment of our life is properly calculated by a beautiful meaning that we will one day understand.

I believe that God challenges each of us every single day.

I like to think he's a lot like Pete Carroll up there, with a clipboard and a headset

Chewing gum and pacing back and forth with a huge smile on his face

Because either way, whether we fall or we fly, he's proud of us.....

And I believe that animals know the secret to life and are just too greedy to share it with us....

As I get older, Life is taking on a whole new meaning.

I've been a part of some of the most amazing experiences of my life

{Like marrying this totally rad guy I know LOL}

& I've been a part of moments that have dropped me to my knees

Or made me catch my breath. 

Steve Jobs said it perfectly

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

As a photographer, you constantly search for those {little moments} in life that are hiding.

The look a man gives his newly bride when no one is looking

That little laugh from a tiny one discovering their voice 

When the sun falls perfectly upon the grass and the trees at that first shoot of the new season

Here are some of my favorite images from the past year
