We were so honored to be able to spend the day with Olivia and Patrick. It was a blessing to see the love surrounding them that day, not only from each other, but from their families. These two have a special kind of love, and we wish them all the happiness in the world.




Olivia’s dress was beautiful…but not as beautiful as she was!





Patrick didn’t look half bad either..=)


Together, Olivia and Patrick looked amazing!






It was a pleasure to be with Olivia as she was getting ready for her day. True to form, she was all smiles, and her inner beauty was reflected in her obvious outer beauty.







Not only did Olivia look gorgeous as the bride, but she also did her own flowers!! They were amazing, (just as she was for doing them!)






Olivia chose to get married at her Aunt and Uncle’s home. It was such a gorgeous location, and the perfect spot for a wedding!


Their amazing work in the yard provided for some amazing shots!



We had a lot of fun with the wedding party too…lots of laughs were had!


Groomsman ninjas…

One final walk as a Bachelor…






Olivia and Patrick had a beautiful Celtic ceremony…with a few laughs mixed in with the tears!





Every great wedding is followed up by a great reception, and Olivia and Patrick knew how to throw a party!







Young and old had a grand time..


And what reception is complete without a fight for the bouquet?!

I love watching brides and grooms share their first dance as a married couple. Olivia and Patrick did not disappoint!





Olivia and Patrick used the old family Caddy as their “get-away” car.




We are so happy for you guys, and were so honored to share in your day with you. Congratulations on your new life together!

We recently had the privilege of getting to shoot our cousin Olivia and her fiance Patrick’s engagement pictures. Since they live in Alaska, this was our first time meeting Patrick. We knew right away that he was going to fit right in, and it was clear to see that Olivia had chosen the right man for her. We headed down to Marine Park in Vancouver, and literally wrapped up our shoot just seconds before the rain started to pour! The overcast weather however, made for some lovely photos. We are so happy for Olivia and Patrick, and wish them all the best in their upcoming marriage!

I absolutely love the next series of pictures. 


The beach made for some romantic, and very sweet shots of these two. It was fun to see them interact together in such a fun and loving way.


I love the way she tilts up to kiss him!

Another favorite…


We had such a great time getting to know Patrick, and getting to spend time with Olivia. Blessings to both of you!

Love you guys!

We had the honor and privilege of assisting our brother and sister in law of Carpenter Photography and Design in Indiana at our cousin Stephanie’s wedding. What a joy the day was! It was so neat to be able to experience the day with John and Stephanie, and to see their love for each other. David and I also were thrilled to be able to shadow Jeremy and Melody on this wedding shoot, as their work is amazing. It was a great chance for David and I to grow and learn as photographers.
It was so much fun to share in John and Stephanie’s big day.This shot was taken just minutes after their first meeting. How cute are they?!



These girls were tons of fun. We caught them all sneaking a peek at the guys as they were having their pictures taken.



The next picture has become a family favorite. This is “Grandpa Shinn”, and this shot captures him so well.

Stephanie’s flowers were gorgeous!

It was fun to capture her two precious flower girls. They were so sweet!

Stephanie was such a beautiful bride! We are so happy for her and John, and feel honored that were able to share in their special day. Blessings to you both!
