2008 in Review!

2008 was one amazing year for Aaron and I and we are so excited about 2009, and the amazing couples we will be working with. God has truly blessed our lives this year and we are so thankful. Thank you for allowing Aaron and I to be a part of your wedding days and your lives. We shot 21 amazing weddings this year, and our couples are the absolute best. We are so thankful to have them not only as clients but as friends!

I apologize for not keeping the blog near as up to date as I would like to. It has been craziness, which we are so grateful for. =) Our goal for 2009 is definitely to blog more!

November 19th-December 1st~ Aaron and I were so thankful for a little time away for just the two of us. We went on our first cruise to force us to relax, with no access to a phone or email. We had a blast taking surf lessons in Barbados, snorkeling in the Bahamas, riding ATV's in Dominica, hiking through the rain forest in St. Kitts, taking an island tour of St. Thomas, and taking a Land Rover safari through Antiqua. We love the islands but Barbados was our favorite because of the gorgeous beaches, and we loved the locals we met at Zed's surf shop.





December:


December 6th~ Sarah and Brad were married on a chilly day in Hickory, with the reception at the art museum!

Thank you so much again for being apart of our lives! Many blessings for 2009!
