Cornelius Pass Roadhouse Wedding: Stephanie & Nick

This was a FUN wedding! I met Stephanie when she was a bridesmaid in Elishia & Kevin's Wedding a couple of years ago. So, I was pretty excited about this event from the very beginning. I LOVE showing up to weddings and knowing people - it makes the day THAT much more fun! I loved getting to see Elishia & Kevin & Elishia's sisters again!! 
I've photographed weddings at Cornelius Pass Roadhouse before, but this was the first time I'd gotten to photograph one at Imbrie Hall. It was super-cool! 
My favorite moments from this wedding: portraits with Nick & Stephanie for sure - I loved how sweet & comfortable they were (are) together! The bouquet toss. Pictures below. It was epic! The "first" dances - I always enjoy the bride & groom's first dance. This evening, the father-daughter and mother-son dances were pretty special as well. The crazy cool chandelier didn't hurt either. And - final favorite - I loved that Stephanie & Nick asked me to photoshop a Gollum & The Ring scene into one of their portraits!
Congratulations, Nick & Stephanie - You guys are awesome!!

Playing in the Leaves: Stayton Family Photographer

So, I have a confession: keeping up with blogging with a toddler is HARD. I've had so many amazing clients and sessions in the past several months. I've taken some of my favorite photographs and made some of my favorite memories ever. But keeping up with sharing them here has been a little tougher. Choosing how to prioritize my time is one of those big, responsible, yucky, grownup tasks that always makes me nervous, because I'm never sure if I'm making the right choices. I'm totally guilty of wanting it all: I want to spend all the fun times with my kiddo; I want to run a business, with amazing customer service, that I'm proud to call my own; yummy dinners, happy husband, family vacations.  ....How many of you are laughing right now? (If anyone actually knows how to cram all of this into one life, I am ALL ears!!)
Anyway, I find myself with some spare moments tonight (I'm avoiding starting on my books for taxes), so, please enjoy the cuteness of The Bishop Family with me. I've been photographing them since their oldest daughter was a tiny babe and they're some of my favorites!
