I was lucky enough to photograph Shelby and Josh’s wedding in 2010.

The cool thing about my job is that I get to meet really cool couples and hang with them for a full day or two and capture great moments.  Really, I am so blessed and lucky!  Some times I get to hang with the families year after year.

Even if some of those times are filled with sadness. (I was asked to photograph a book for Josh’s mother while she was battling a vicious disease. The book was filled with images from his parents farmhouse and surrounding area.  Sort of a pick me up for his mother) Sadly his mother passed away soon after the book was delivered. These are just a few of the pages.

After some time Shelby had gotten a hold of me to find a time to get together for their first anniversary shoot.  Well, that kind of got lost in the mix with very busy schedules on both our parts.  So, after a long Winter and a knee surgery for me we finally got together last week for a quick shoot.

Shelby wanted something low key and indoors.  So we did just that.  No flashy backgrounds or lighting.

 Again, I feel very blessed to be a part of Shelby’s family for the good times and rough times.  I have said this many times before, my profession allows me to have a much larger family than I could have ever otherwise.   Happy (belated) 1st Anniversary Shelby and Josh!

Here’s to hoping I get to photograph more of your family in the years to come!
