When I was little, I used to pretend I was a horse. Or a wolf. Sometimes a tiger. Whatever suited my fancy. I was one of thooose girls. I didn't really play with dolls or put on lipstick and wear my mom's heels. Instead, I created elaborate stories in my head and played them out for hours, sometimes days, until the story was complete.

As I got older, I thought for a time that I wanted to be a writer. Instead of acting out the stories in my imagination, I tried to put them on paper. I would sit down and start these grand novels, only to begin another one after a few chapters in the first. I had every intention of finishing them. I just... never did. Apparently writing isn't my strong suit.

Then I found a camera. Jackpot. I found a way to stop time. To tell real stories. The kind of stories that should be remembered. Need to be remembered. Stories full of life and love that beg to be preserved and shared.

So I guess you could call me a story teller. A really, really ridiculously blessed and happily married story teller who can't cook but laughs a lot and has three dogs. I love my life.

And I'd love to tell your story : )

Old Mill Golf Course Engagements: Jessica + Gavin

Jessica would probably tell you it was his charm. Gavin would probably tell you it was her ~~swimsuit~~ smile. He saw Jessica across the pool at a friend’s BBQ and knew he had to talk to the stunning blonde. So he walked right up to her and did just that.

Did sparks fly? Maybe. Or maybe it was more like fireworks. An instantaneous explosion that, quite simply, doesn’t happen every day. But then again, Jessica and Gavin aren’t your everyday couple. Their love is so sweet it makes a red velvet cupcake look salty. And that, my friends, is saying something. They’ll be tying the knot this September with lovely backyard wedding, complete with a pool. Quite fitting, if you ask me ;)
