You may remember Kath & Mike from their awesome engagement session just a couple of months ago! This is a couple that I do not have enough kind adjectives in my vocabulary to say enough things about. Kathryn & Michael met with me just a little over 5 months ago about their wedding and I fell in love with them and their beautiful story from the onset. We had immediate chemistry and I came back from tea having two new beautiful friends :)
Their wedding was full of life, joy, laughing and a whole lot of people who love them! They had close to 1,000 people in attendance at their ceremony!! I have never seen a wedding ceremony so packed with people. Kathryn & Michael posses this amazing ability to make whoever it is they are interacting with feel like the most loved, respected and valuable person in the world. It doesn't matter who it is, they truly listen and they truly care about people. It is not a wonder they are so loved! What an amazing gift!
Kathryn & Michael were so gracious to Chris and I, they thanked us more times than I could count throughout the course of the day. Even after we left the reception I get a text from Kath saying "We Love you guys!! Thank you!!" In perfect Kathryn & Mike fashion.... putting others before themselves. It is obvious why they are loved so well.... because they lay their lives down for others ;) We adore them and had so much fun on their wedding day. If you want to see more goodness from their wedding day here is Kathryn & Michael's Slideshow
Also, If you ever need any speed planning tips Kathryn is in the process of coordinating some weddings herself. And lets just put it this way, she planned a bomb.com wedding that infused their personal style and charm in a little less than 5 months. She's a rockstar. oh, and I'm a little bit obsessed with this first photo of her.. isn't she Stunning!!!?!
Love you guys and hope you are having a blast in Hawaii!!

"Sarah!!!!!! We can hardly contain ourselves!!!!! We are so excited =)
We're at a Sprint store on the Big Island, and jumped on a sample computer since we couldn't wait to get back to the condo to look at them! SPEECHLESS!!!
Thank you for the quick turn around, and the amazing and kind words on your blog. We are so blessed to have had you and Chris along for the ride. Our friends couldn't stop talking about how much fun it was to have you there and how kind you were. They are gonna freak when they see these pictures! We wanna take you and Chris out for dinner some time to say thank you!
Love you guys! You rock our world, and certainly rocked our wedding!
Your BFF's forever,

I'm pretty sure if I touched my monitor I could wipe her wedding tears right off of it. So real. So beautiful.
I have been following your blog for quite a while now after you photographed a friend of a friend's wedding. And let me tell you: I am not engaged or anywhere near being ready to get engaged but I want you to shoot my engagement, wedding, birth of my children, and all of my family photos for years to come. :)
Your photography is BEAUTIFUL!!! These are such amazing photographs...they will be cherished forever!!! Thanks for letting us peek at all of your wonderful work!
wow! just brilliant!
These are so amazing! I want that car! And to have you photograph me with it! ;)
The steering wheel shot is oddly my favorite. Just beautiful work all around.
Beaut. Seriously. I'm sitting here watching a movie, just grabbed my laptop to blog surf. I kid you not, the first half of the movie my mind kept drifting back to your photos and how much I want you to photograph me someday. Hah! :)
Oh my goodness. That wedding party shot is genius. I love it! And every other shot of course. The one on the dock is also particularly beautiful. AND the ceremony shots have got my eyes all welled up!
