Siobhan had a surprise for everyone at the wedding – a second dress for her reception!  Chris was thoroughly surprised to see his new wife walking towards him after putting it on!

Anisha and Paul are celebrating their fourth wedding anniversary this year.  They got a new, furry member of their family that of course had to be in the photos.  Jade, their little one, is so much fun and SO in love with her momma and daddy.  We started their anniversary session at a dog park so little Jade could get some of that energy out.  It was so fun watching her run around and play with the dogs and then check in with her parents.  We then cuddled up on their back porch and even got some shots on their motorcycle.  Finally we ended this sweet session with some Anisha + Paul time at Lake Lynn.  Anisha and Paul, thank you so much for having me be a part of your anniversary!  I ADORED photographing your family and spending time with you all!  Happy 4th anniversary!!!!

Anisha…so beautiful!!!

my favorite :)

See…so much joy and love :)

Awww…Ryan…you’re so pretty :)

BAM!!!  Star Wars shirts (insert fist bump here)

Those eyes – GORGEOUS!

and hilarious!

Heather…Stop it…Beautiful!!
