Drew broke his foot a few weeks before his wedding, but if you know Drew, then you know that a few broken bones aren’t going to get in his way of marrying the love of his life.

Or dancing. It definitely didn’t stop him dancing. 

I met Drew & Asia when I shot Drew’s sister Carey’s wedding in September of 2014 , and I’m thankful every day that I get to work with beautiful, gracious and loving families like theirs. If these two have set the tone for my 2016 weddings, I know it’s going to be an absolutely incredible season.

Steph and Tim and their three furkids came to celebrate their engagement with me last week.

“…and that’s the story of the time we spontaneously decided to fly to Barcelona,” Jenna said with a bright laugh.

It was a brisk November evening and Jenna and Eric were getting married in four days. Despite this being the first time I was meeting them in person, the conversation was easy, and meaningful. 

In between European travels and taking leaps of faith across the United States to be with each other, I could have spent hours listening to Jenna and Eric regale me with their adventures.  There is a palpable energy in the air when you’re in the presence of people with such vibrant spirits.  Jenna and Eric love each other so deeply, and are so in sync with each other, that it was a sheer pleasure to watch them talk and laugh and share stories with each other.
