Shaw Nature Reserve Engagements - Sam and Mike

They walked through the golden gardens just as the sun was saying farewell to the day. He whispered in her ear, decorated her hair with blooms, and led her through hills of flowers. And he couldn't stop making her laugh.

That's just what they do... they laugh together. Through every season of their lives, they have learned to celebrate the simple things and the simple ways they get to be together. Sam's the kind of girl who could wear flowers...

Kristina and Brady Wedding

White hung over her face and she looked up at him, eyes bright as day. He put both of his hands on her neck and kissed her forehead through the veil. He kissed her forehead over and over again throughout the ceremony. Joy hung in the air, him waiting to kiss her and her waiting to kiss him for the very first time...

How many Blog post images should you include?

Each person needs to approach this question differently. For some posts, like education posts, you may only need 1-5 images. If you're sharing a senior session, you may need to share 15-30 images! If you're blogging a wedding, you may want to share anywhere from 20-100 images!

Madalyn & Conner Wedding
