So many moments on a wedding day can be special, unique, and often incredibly intimate. We each have our favorites. Some people love the look on the groom as he sees his bride walking down the isle, others love the first kiss.

Without a doubt, my absolute favorite part of a wedding is when the bride and groom exit after the ceremony, typically sharing a warm embrace once outside of everyone’s view. They are able to finally drown out the world and everything around them, squeeze tightly- all inhibitions lost. All the planning, thought, and the many details are set aside.

The weight of the day is lifted. Because now……you are married to your love.

Drew and Molly are pictured above. This was captured moments before they knew we were there. To me, it was the most magical moment of the day.

{Many more from this wedding to come…..}

While we were photographing in NYC, one of my bestest friends, along with her wonderful hubster Trey, welcomed sweet baby Elijah into this world. I was sad to not be there to photograph his birth, but going to the hospital and holding the precious guy when I returned, made my sadness melt away pretty quickly.  :)

Brett and I went over one morning when he was about a week old for a sweet little family session. I’ve been anticipating the day that these two would be parents, because I just know they will be so wonderful for this job….which is one of the best jobs to have I might add. ;)

I told Trey, “Real men change diapers.” Is it not true mamas?

My friend Jess did Elijah’s nursery up so cute. He also is STOCKED on some adorable boy clothes….some I can’t wait to see him in since they were his buddy Gabe’s.  :)

Love you Jess, Trey, and Elijah! Can’t wait to watch your little guy grow in strength and love.
