THESE TWO are the reason Levi is here; we’re convinced of this.

Amy and Jamie are the life-of-the-party types, always generously ensuring that there’s a drink in your hand, even if means throwing another round on their own tab. Shaun and I were the recipients of their enthusiasm on one particular Thursday evening after we wrapped their engagement session. We all walked over to Cedars Social for a round of drinks that turned into a few rounds of them drinking us under the table and a few sloppy iPhone photos for proof. Well, you all know what kind of hubba-hubba happens next, just real talk here. Fast forward about eight weeks and SURPRISE!

Since Shaun and I had no plans to have kids, we were shocked and, quite frankly, devastated for a couple weeks. But once we got over ourselves, and now that a year later, our Levi (AKA Our Pure Joy, Our Heart, and The-Best-Thing-That’s-Ever-Happened-To-Us-Besides-Each-Other) is here, we’re indebted to Amy and Jamie for getting us drunk and essentially making us whoopsie parents. But the joke’s on them cuz they got pregnant on their honeymoon…na-na na-na boo-boo!

Anyhow, here they are getting married in enthusiastic style in a luxury destination wedding on Maui. It’s beautiful, and they’re beautiful, and we hope you enjoy it! This one includes a whale-watching excursion for guests the day before the wedding, ooh aah!

Oh how we love family affairs. We're just so grateful that Angie and Jack found us to shoot their wedding a couple years ago. This dear, dear bride is Jack's sister, and we couldn't have been more thrilled to shoot for her and her lovely husband this time around. That's not just because we were already familiar with this absolute GEM of a family, but also because their wedding was in New York...and if you've seen our personal Instagram accounts, you know we love our trips to New York.

This beaming couple with their open-mouth laughter, this beautiful venue overlooking the Statue of Liberty, the overwhelming kindness radiating from everybody present, this trip definitely did not disappoint...

Thank you to the vendors who contributed to this one!

At the end of Ashley and Justin's wedding, Ashley gleefully exclaimed, "I can't wait to see the photos!" to which I responded with a song. "You're gonna have to waaaait," I sang to her while bobbing around in place, you know, like an idiot. To my delight, she joined in, "I'm gonna have to waaaait," clapping and performing the same lame body-bob I had inexplicably (yet flawlessly) executed moments before. We did this strange song-and-dance a couple times, giggled at each other for a few moments, and that was the end of their wedding. Need I say much more?

We are delighted to see Ashley and Justin's sweet, sweet Chicago winery wedding on Style Me Pretty, as perusing their photos again fills me with joy. I do hope it does the same for you.

To Ashley and Justin: we are forever grateful that you chose us to be your wedding photographers. Everything with the two of you has been sweet, fun, and non-stop laughs. XOXO
