Matt + Carly + Dan + Rachelle + Michael + I (ok try and follow THAT! ) all go to church together and we are all in the young married couples Sunday School class. We have really enjoyed getting to know Matt + Carly and everyone in our church, and Michael + I look forward to a long friendship with these two!

Last Saturday we had the opportunity to photograph them, and we are so glad we did! Carly told me that she and Matt had not had any pictures of them done since they got married and Michael + I jumped at the chance.

Let’s start off with some favorites, shall we? I couldn’t decide which one I liked best, or in color or black and white, so I posted them both. Why you say? Because I can.

Reason #53476487637 I love shooting with my husband. Here is an example of his shot that was taken at almost the exact same time I was taking the above shots. He ROCKED OUT on this one!!

I love how Matt + Carly have such an ease about them. I love how they just love each other and can laugh at silly little things.

Another [Lauren] favorite! I love this in black and white, and you can’t tell by this photo; but Matt has the BLUEEEEST eyes EVER! Maybe that’s one of the reasons Carly fell in love with him… Care to “insert comment here” Carly?

We found this AWESOME wall and most of you know about my love affair with murals. If not, keep reading. You will

My shot…

and Michael’s take… love it!

hehe.

After we found this wall, I had remembered seeing this really cool lightbulb on the side of a building! You know we had to hit it up.
One of my favorite images ever taken!

Where we were hanging out, there were some wild dandelions growing, and pretty soon, it was all out war!

My shot.

Michael’s shot Story below.

When Carly was blowing her dandelion at Matt, and she ended up blowing it REALLY hard into Matt’s face, so Matt decided that he was going to get Carly back. Well, needless to say, I was NOT going to miss this, I knew it was going to be an epic in dandelion blowing history.

Oh this is tremendous.

Matt, don’t hate me.(I have to put that little disclaimer. You’ll see why )

Love this series.

Are you ready?

Look at the last image closely, see how hard he blew? Look at Carly’s hair! This cracked me UP while editing!

A [Michael] favorite.

Remember rolling down hills when you were a kid? Yep, we did it. Love this.

Another mine vs. his shot! I love both.

I think we’re getting a bit competitive for the best shots.

We love ya’ll both! Thanks so much Matt + Carly for hanging out with us and being such great fun to work with! You make our jobs easy!
