This past summer I got to be a part of something I wish for, for every single one of my friends. I watched my kind, fun, loving friend marry the man she is going to spend the rest of her life with. Soon after they started planning their wedding they got another pretty huge, pretty amazing surprise – one that Shandell has wanted for as long as I can remember. They were going to have a baby. Very few plans changed, the dress was exchanged, and everything continued as planned.

In the span of a year, my friend’s dreams came true.

It was a unique day for us, as we only photographed the ceremony and creative photos afterwards, so we were able to enjoy the day and celebrate in style with everyone.

Their little girl, Aubrey, has since been born and she is beautiful.

Thank you so much for letting us capture this step in your lives. I am so, so happy for you, for all three of you.

Love you xoxo

Ceremony & creative photos took place at Hastings Lake Gardens
