heckman family

I love taking family pictures! I have taken pictures of Mikayla several times over the past year, so when her mother called saying that they were going to surprise her for her 16th Birthday and wanted to set up a family photo session I was all in! It had been 5 or so years since they last had family pictures taken of them so it was overdue. Plus Mikayla's birthday just so happens to be on the same day as her parents anniversary! We had lots to celebrate and had a great time. I love the pictures.

alicia and dwain - wedding

I walked in and immediately felt like family. I knew most of the wedding party and the brides whole family already so I felt right at home. I was so excited to have the honor to photograph Alicia and Dwain's wedding! There were a lot of unique details of the wedding that I would like to share. These details are what make each wedding special. Here are a few of my favorite and if you want to see more then you can few the slideshow!

When I got there I noticed the very colorful bouquet and asked about the meaning behind it. Alicia said she couldn't choose just one color to have in her wedding because she loved all the colors in the rainbow! Little did I know that she executed this theme/detail all through out her wedding day wonderfully!

I love this moment between the bride and her mother.









Another unique detail of the wedding day was that the groom's brother was overseas on the wedding day. With the wonderful little thing called technology he got to watch the whole wedding and speak to the groom by video phone! Now that's awesome!



Alicia and Dwain you are a beautiful couple and I am honored that you choose me to be a part of your wedding day!
