Doug & Elise

…I am so incredibly thankful. Thankful to call you friends, and thankful to have documented your wedding day. Your friends and family are incredible and getting to know them was so much fun. We sure had a good time together. I loved how you all jumped outta the limo at the park and were immediately ready for pictures. You didn’t scoff once when my assistant and I suggested you jump on the old wooden merry-go-round. I love that about you two . . . always ready to have a little fun!


There’s probably too many photos for a blog post but I don’t care. There are just that many I LOVE from your day.
Sit back and have a look,

Does anyone know how old the merry-go-round at Peterson Park is? I remember playing on it when I was a kid!

Gotta love this last shot of you two together. Off to your reception and your new life together as husband and wife!
I wish you joy, happiness, and lots of love!

    Gosh dang woman… just when I think you have outdone yourself, you keep on doing it!! The merry-go-round and swing shots were such a good idea. Then, I get to the last photo… absolute perfection!

    I knew you would do a great job with them! =)
