MaryRuth and I have been friends since 8th grade. We’ve been through everything together, PCOS, Infertility, job loss, cancer, the death of our moms, and many, many other struggles along the way. We talk to each other about EVERYTHING and we’ve been there for each other through some of the worst days of our lives.

Jesse is MaryRuth’s littlest brother. He just happened to be getting engaged to Natalie about the same time I was going to be in Utah. {not really officially yet, but when your photographer is in town you make it work}. They also  just happened to need a wedding photographer and because all the stars aligned, I’m going to be photographing their wedding the day after my little brother’s wedding. {they did plan their date around my schedule, thank you both for trusting me with your special day!!}

Once again, we went to Tibble Fork – I should have just taken my tent up there for a couple of days, and saved on gas money driving back and forth – If you know me at all, you know that was NOT going to happen!!!

We had so much fun and I captured some super fun photos of Natalie and Jesse together. They were so fun to work with. Natalie has the most natural, sweet laugh. I had no problem getting natural, beautiful smiles out of these two. It’s easy to see that they are totally, completely in love with each other. They way he looks at her, and smiles at her makes my heart so happy. I can’t wait to capture their wedding in January.

MaryRuth, I can’t believe both our littlest brothers getting married. I can’t believe they are both getting married without their mammas here. I can’t believe we are walking this path together and I don’t believe for one second that it’s a coincidence. I KNOW that God has placed us in each others lives for many, many reason. I know that we are meant to be friends and I can’t wait to capture all the love, joy and happiness from your little brother’s special day.

Natalie and Jesse, I am so excited to capture your special day. I am honored that you chose me to be your photographer. I can’t wait to hear that cute laugh again and to capture you with your families.
