Sam and Amy are awesome, it is just that simple.

I knew their wedding would be awesome after our super fun urban engagement session this winter, but wow they really brought it! It was a stunning day in the Gorge at the Columbia River Gorge Hotel. The weather was amazing, the flowers were in bloom, and the smiling faces were everywhere.

These two ladies had a beautiful afternoon ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family. The room was so full of love and smiles it was a pleasure to capture. The reception was also a ton of fun with fancy cocktails, some funny family stories, and even a crazy pug.

Quite simply it was a great day!

three adorable boys

05.29.14

I can not imagine having three boys under the age of 3, but somehow the H family makes it look all kinds of wonderful. I had a great time hanging out with them last week, meeting the new little guy, and capturing this adorable growing family.

Here are a handful of my favorite images!

Leslie thank you for having me into your home, and trusting me to capture your boys, they are each so adorable in their own right, but together they stole my heart. I hope you all are having fun and getting at least a little rest these days! I will have your whole set ready for you very soon. For now I would love to offer you a blog post challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post, there will be a set of darling little brag books on the house for you. A perfect way to show off your sweet baby boys.
