Happy Wednesday Friends! We have some midweek eye-candy for you. :) We have been wanting to do a shoot just like this for a long time but just couldn’t find the perfect clients. Well, we bumped into these two lovebirds who just happen to be getting married and everything fell into place! Meet Joey & Suzie. ♥

Suzie is a very creative and talented girl. She made the bunting herself and baked all the cupcakes for the shoot. And I love her outfit. She looks so cute!

Suzie works in a cupcake shop while finishing up school. One day I was picking out a cupcake and made the statement that I would love to take engagement photos in the shop but that I’m not sure I have a client for it. It was then that Suzie told me that she had a feeling that she might be that client very soon. Yay!

Joey and Suzie had run into each other a couple times, but it wasn’t until taking a trip to Colorado with some friends that they fully got acquainted. After spending a glorious week in Colorado and hiking their first fourteener, they took a 12-hour car ride home together and had a blast. The very next day they had their first date. They bought snow cones and walked around the lake. Sounds perfect!

The story goes that Joey and Suzie love to eat at a certain Asian restaurant in town. So they got some food to go and headed out to their favourite spot to fish along the river. When they got there, Joey set up a sweet picnic which included an ice chest of Suzie’s favourite…raspberry ginger ale. Yum! They didn’t fish. Instead it was there that Joey asked Suzie to marry him!

In our opinion Suzie makes the best cupcakes in town! She loves to bake and it just happens that Joey loves to cook. It was a match made in heaven!

If Suzie is the baking genius, Joey would be a fishing genius. When we met them to discuss engagement photos, we shared an engagement session we did by a lake back in January. Mind you, this is not a well known lake at all. He guessed the name of the lake on his first try! This guy has had some pretty amazing catches and I’m sure Suzie’s at the top of that list.

That guitar isn’t a prop! Joey is a talented guitar player. It was very pleasant shooting while he serenaded Suzie. :) Aren’t they so cute together?!

Before meeting Joey, Suzie had never fished before. When she made her first catch she took a photo and posted it. She told us that her sister declared she must be in love! I’d say she was right!

They didn’t catch anything but still enjoyed the spring weather and watched the sun set over the water. It was actually so nice out that we all lamented having to go and wished we had brought brats to roast over a campfire.

Joey and Suzie are so sweet to each other! I can’t wait to shoot their wedding in August. Just based on the details that Suzie brought to the shoot, I know her wedding will be very special.

It’s shoots like this that encourage me to pick up my camera everyday. And there’s more! So head on over to the slideshow on the Event Page. Happy Hump Day!

Happy Wednesday Folks! We had a wedding out of town this weekend but when we were asked to come to this cute-as-a-button kiddo’s birthday party we just couldn’t refuse! Especially since we’ve been there from this little bean’s beginning. Happy Birthday Henry!

Kelli is always one for details. Birds, squirrels, and owls all adorned Henry’s woodland theme birthday. Awesome Job Mom! And the cupcakes from Cake Crazy were super delicious! And so adorable, I’ll post more next time.

Awww I love the photo above. So sweet! It was an extra special birthday party with just close family. Aunts, uncles, grandpa, grandmas, and cousins all came together to play and celebrate!

Come back in two weeks for more adorable pics to awww over and see the aftermath of Henry’s birthday cupcake. Later dudes!

I’ve been ansty (really!) to post these adorable pictures of Sofie and Lily. We spent a magical Saturday with them as the sun set in a botanical garden. Since I know that Sofie and Lily love The Beatles I thought it would be appropriate to attach the following song. I think it’s a perfect way to set the mood. So make sure to play it while browsing through these fun photos! Enjoy!

These two princesses are a joy to be with. It really was fun to hang out with two sweet little girls. They happily went along with anything. But then again, how could bubbles, cupcakes, and drawing in a botanical garden not be fun?! And boy they looked so cute in their matching lace dress and flower clips! ♥

Speaking of gardens: they love the outdoors and Lily especially likes to climb trees when she’s not in her Easter dress. They even don’t mind the bugs! They laugh when their buggy boxelder friends tickle while crawling on their arm and cry when one gets hurt :) We truly lucked out with the beautiful warm weather when we visited the gardens. I could tell how they loved playing in the sun. I bet they can’t wait for the summer!

They love art but their favorite is definitely drawing and I thought it was so cute how they included each other in there self-portraits ♥ I can tell Lily has been practicing her bunny rabbits :)

Sofie, 6, and Lily, 4, like to play but they are happy to help out too! They enjoy helping their mom make dinner in the kitchen and plant flowers in the garden. They really are two great kids. I can’t get enough of these two cute smiling faces ♥
