Hannah and Ryan had an incredible Chicago wedding on September 2, 2011. I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a more loving and genuine couple. I’ve known Hannah since we were little kids and I was honored to photograph her wedding (31 weeks pregnant!). Both Ryan and Hannah are former student body presidents at Wheaton College and had tons of friends travel from all over the States to celebrate with them on their wedding day. They are loved and respected by all who know them and I was honored to be their photographer. To view some of their engagement photos check here.

It amazes me how every year I wish I were in London around the holidays and New Year. Last March, Matt and I took a trip to visit some of our best friends in London for 8 days. Here are a few photos from the trip to cure my wish to be in London on this rainy Texas day.

Kate and Ryan were married on March 20th in Houston, Texas and their wedding day was gorgeous! March 20th just so happened to be the day that Texas had one last arctic blast before it went all desert on us. But, you would never have known that it was cold. Kate and Ryan were so stinking fun and their love was the cutest thing ever to photograph. Their wedding was held at Grace Bible Church and their reception was at the Houston Natural Science Museum and every detail was just perfect! Here’s a glimpse from their day. Aren’t they so stinking cute???


Rachel Brooke: Aww I know Ryan! Great guy. This pictures are fantastic! Loved each and every one. ( June 17, 2010 5:30 pm )

Geoff Duncan: Hi, my name is Lauren Larsen and I'm good at my job. ( June 8, 2010 8:53 pm )

Jill Hatley: It was fun to look at these pics! I always love seeing where you shoot and then all of a sudden I recognized one! This wedding was in the church (GBC) where my hubs and I go. So fun! Hope Houston treated you well. : ) ( June 8, 2010 8:52 pm )
