Amanda & Eric: Glimpse

Posted on March 9, 2010

After you get your pictures taken, it’s like waiting for Christmas to come. It seems like it takes FOR-E-VER to see a single image that you spent so much time preparing for, doesn’t it? While preparing to get your pictures taken, tons of questions cloud your brain. What do I wear? How should I do my hair? Where should we go for pictures?  All legitimate questions that seem to exhaust your mind until you make a decision. When everything is finally decided, the picture day comes and none of those questions matter anymore. It’s all about you, your life, your love, and you end up having so much fun together that you forget your “taking pictures”, right? And THEN it’s seriously like waiting for Christmas when you were a kid. I know. WE KNOW how it feels. I promise, we don’t like to make you wait. It’s just that when we have so many amazing people want us to document their lives, we make sure we spend quality time with each client’s images. So, to get you MORE excited about seeing your pictures and to tide you over until you can see them, we give you a sneak-peek. And to get you excited about your sneak-peek, we give you:

A GLIMPSE.

So, here is a glimpse of Amdanda and Eric’s beautiful wedding. We can’t wait to share more!

“My Engagement Story…” | Valentine’s Day Winner

Posted on February 20, 2010

First of all, we want to say a special thank you to all the wonderful couples who took the time share their unique stories! We loved them all! It was so hard to narrow it down to one :) ! But here is the love story that made us both say, “Awww…”

My Engagement Story by Ashley Bucher
“Once upon a time…haha just kidding… So it happened after I got off work Saturday evening. I drove up to his house and saw that he had his horse saddled up. I got out and he told me to keep my jacket on because he wanted to take me for a ride to ’show me something.’ I was getting a little suspicious but didn’t want to get my hopes up just yet. Anyways, there we were, riding double out to the back pasture where there is a big lake that we love. On a tree near the dam, I saw something white hanging from a tree and thought it was trash. We rode up to it and Josh ’suggested’ I pull it down. I pulled it down and saw it was a letter he wrote to me. It was beautiful, and talked about the way he loves me and his devotion he will have for me and our family one day. For those of you who don’t know, Josh speaks Chinese he learned while he did mission work in China. At the bottom of the letter was a phrase written in Chinese, and below that, the paper was torn off. I felt bad for him that part of his letter had been ripped off but he didn’t really address that, he just gave me a riddle to where I would find the interpretation of the phrase.  It led to a solitary tree that is growing out of the side of the dam. I got off the horse, and found a box in the tree. Inside was the torn off part of the letter that read, Will you marry me? and below was the most beautiful ring! He got down off his horse and asked me, and of course I said YES!”

Isn’t that so sweet?? Congratulations on winning our contest for a FREE engagement session! You both deserve it :) !

Stephen & Amber: Stephenville Wedding

Posted on February 16, 2010

Amber and I were in choir together. We would sneak off to the back practice rooms with our other friend, Amy, to “practice” for Solo and Ensemble. Well, I think we each sang our songs once, then for the rest of the time would talk and laugh about life as a high school student. There are not many people that you know would always be there for you if you ever needed them, but I know Amber is one of those friends.

When Amber told me she was marrying Stephen Burge, who we also went to high school with and whose dad is the proud owner of TumbleWeed BBQ in Stephenville and Cresson (holla!), I was so happy for her. It’s always amazing to me the way that God brings people together. Even though we all went to high school together, Amber and Stephen didn’t start dating until college. When they sat on my living room couch together for our initial consultation, it was SO evident that their love for one another was just overflowing. I’ve never seen Amber so happy, and Stephen was so caring in the way he spoke to her. I love to see true love.

On January 23rd, Amber & Stephen joined their lives together as husband and wife. I am 100% confident that they will be in love until they are grey headed, because their commitment was absolute and incredibly noticeable. I’m so so happy for them and I was so honored that they chose me to be their photographer.

Stephen and Amber, I love you both! You are so dear to my heart and I wish you a lifetime full of joy! I hope you love the images we got at your wedding… They are definitely in my top favorites!
