A few more photos of their wedding from November 29th. They’re just too beautiful of a couple for their own good.

Enjoy sneak peak #2!!

she’s absolutely stunning..

WHEEEEEE!!!!!

every time I looked at  this one,  it made me smile. I hope it makes you smile too..

counting the cash from the money dance…

It was a beautiful wedding!!

Nathan and Melody tied the knot on November 29th, 2009 in Longview, Washington at The Living Word church. Their reception was held at the expo center here in town.  Melody and I went to school together way back in the day at Kelso High School. Go class of 2000!! She and I were in choir together (along with my hubs, Derrick).

She made the most gorgeous bride. I’m so happy for the two of them to start their life together. Can’t wait till you have some kiddos. Of course that’s just me being selfish so I can have more playmates for my own kids 😉

It was a perfect wedding with two people who are very obviously in love. Congrats to the happy couple!!

I’ll be posting more photos in about a week or so. Please stay tuned.

Make sure you make a comment to the couple wishing them a happy life together….

Here’s more pics of the October 25th wedding here in Kelso Washington at the Red Lion Inn. It was a gorgeous wedding and the couple is so very much in love. I was happy to be a part of their very special day.

Congrats on your wedding!!

I hope you enjoy sneak peak #2.

To all their friends and family;

I have to admit, this post has a few more photos than I normally show. I couldn’t help it… You take a great looking couple, perfect weather, gorgeous location, and you’re bound to get some good photos! I had a blast photographing them and I took WAY too many photos…

We met up at one of my favorite locations – Lake Sacajawea here in Longview. It’s fitting since they’re the outdoorsy type of couple. They wanted their engagement session to reflect their style. They’re totally down to earth and quite in love. It was so sweet. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in May. I know it’s going to be just perfect.

Thanks for letting me photograph you and I hope you enjoy your sneak peak…

Today Derrick and I will celebrate seven years of marriage together. I really can’t believe how time flies so quickly. Although at times it’s felt like a hundred years 😉

We’ve had our ups and downs over the years. We’ve been through the Army life, separations, moving, kids, and every other thing a couple goes through in marriage. There were times we didn’t think we would make it together, but God’s grace got us through.

I can honestly say that I married the best man. I’m not normally a mushy person, but when it comes to my husband, the father of my beautiful children; I can’t help but be mushy. I love him very much…

On July 14th, 2001 we got married in Carmel, California in a small ceremony on the beach. We had thirty five of our closest friends and family with us.

We ended up spending six years moving around the country and living in various different places. We moved an average of every six months. It was hard, but quite an exciting life! We had our daughter in San Angelo, Texas, our son in Honolulu, Hawaii, and our newest baby was born here in town. I am glad we got to have such an adventure in our first few years together.

Now we’re settled down In longview, Washington. I never thought I’d move back home, but after having kids, there’s nowhere I’d rather be than at home near our family.

So here’s to many more years of marriage!!!

I love you, Derrick.

Here’s us on our wedding day… (we look SO young… course we WERE young…)

Here’s a family pic when it was just us and our daughter…

Here’s when we added our first son to the family…

We haven’t done a family picture since the baby was born, but here’s a pic of the three kiddos recently….
